The state of the QB is not in shambles, it's shitfing into the direction of the black man being able to play QB and them having a hard time comprehending it. If LA traded their next 3 years for a QB with a losing record then Cardale Jones should have been a 1st round pick and the no.1 overall pick if he would have came out last year. If Kape was so bad Denver probably wouldn't have been so aggressive in trying to aquire him.

come on man, they weren't aggressive at all
they offered him backup money
and didnt budge.

If Kap himself had confidence in his abilities
he would have taken the money and tried to earn a bigger contract with his play.


I agree with you, that ideally the black man that can play QB
is the prototype
It was started with vick and now you have cam and wilson doing it

but like i said not everyone can be those guys

any other person play like cam will be broken, just like kap and rg3
and wilson is just a special player

Right
Luck has been way more shitty than kap and his team was picked to go to the sb they added weapons and everything and he shit the bed

Hassleback did better than he did and luck wasn't hurt until he was gonna be shitty then it was a season ending injury
I'm sorry brother but Kap didn't get a raw deal. He plain sucked last year and the year before that. He hasn't been the same since he under threw Mike Crabtree in the last seconds of the '13 NFC championship game. He regressed in '14 and was worse in '15. Hell Kyle Fuller of the Bears intercepted him twice in a game and Kyle has done very little since. And don't forget that Kap replaced Alex Smith, and rightfully so, while Smith was injured and did nothing to lose the job.

As for John Franklin III, his speed is amazing. I just hope he gets the right coaching and mentors develops the ability to throw the whole route tree. I'm afraid that won't happen in a Gus Malzhan offense.

It's a flat out lie. I watched the games
His line was atrocious last year. Atrocious. He had no time to do anything at all and every game they gave him time we put up points those things cannot be disputed it is fact as reflected by stats on the field.

The year before the same problem the entire right side of the line was gone.

Center on out and in turn no time to do shit

If kap sucked then luck sucked for 2 years and isn't a good qb period.

Difference is 1 of them with a good team around them will take you to the super bowl and perform at a high level in the super bowl or on the road in the playoffs when the rest of the team is playing like ass

He will overcome a rb disappearing defense playing shitty and hostile environments to give you a chance to win.


And the other is Andrew luck period.

I agree that Luck sucked last year before he got hurt. But he also has a bad o-line. I disagree with you regarding Luck's '14 season. He had almost 5,000 yards, lead a comeback after being down 38-17 to the Chiefs, beat the Broncos in the playoffs on the road, and was one game away from the super bowl. Granted they got destroyed by the Patriots but that doesn't take away from his season. We will see how they both do this year.

Man U know that won't happen in that offense...

But on the flip side of it, players have to put in the work for they're own good. This day and time there's to much information available to not be success at what you can control. Perfecting your abilities should be on you and your team(circle, handlers, family) shoulders.

Man JJ struggling was confusing but knowing the system it's not surprising.

The passing offense is fairly simple, the play is called for the pass to go a particular wideout.
Johnson is a natural passer, not a dual threat so him doing poorly in passing situation we're puzzling...

Best believe Guz can't have a sub par season.

I still don't understand what happened to the kid.

He didn't look too great in the spring game either and if my memory is correct he was third string in that game.

Dude drive is shot, it's mental at this point...

Like playing QB is cake? Worse case scenario he plays in the outfield and with that speed he a threat to steal bases. Baseball money is guaranteed no matter what position.
You just answered your own question. Playing QB isn't "cake", which means a guy has to dedicate his full attention to the craft. Between school, working out, learning the system, learning defenses, and practicing, where is the time to practice to be a big league pitcher? Not to mention, the mechanics that are needed to be a great pitcher are completely divergent to throwing a football.
Hence, most QBs that play baseball are position players (Marino and Winston are the exceptions that come to mind)

If you were talking about playing baseball in general, I'd agree with you, though. It's great to have another to use as leverage.

The time to practice big league pitching comes when the coach comes to you and ask you to take reps at defensive back. Spend some time in the minors and hopefully they call you up to the majors.

Props to the young man, but speed means nothing to a QB. Stay in shape, but keep your head in the film room and off the track. These college coaches will have you doing sprint outs and run options while roaming injury...preparation FOR FREE, that will win never you a super bowl

Ask Cam.
