this is a fundamental problem badly hurting parity in the NFL is that there's less than a dozen difference maker QBs at a given time but you essentially need one (desperately) to be competitively relevant
teams cope their way into believing David Carr & Daniel Jones types can be that guy and blow such a massive portion of the cap investing in that player and have to skimp on supporting cast which in turn usually spotlights their QB's weaknesses; similarly the effect of trading so many assets to secure that guy high in the draft
Dak/Purdy/Russ on late-round rookie deals is such a salary cap cheat code really but not an easily repeatable recipe obviously
it's all predicated on "black-box-plane" logic, yeah the math on it – the conversion rate is 55% this year because teams often save their best gadget plays for the very rare instance they need to pull out a philly special or whatever
"the math says go for it" is a flawed concept because it ignores too much context
i've just seen people understandably confused about the decision to go for 2 after their last score
which imo is pretty indefensible from TB's end if your play there is a goal-line fade
at full strength i think probably not, but our best player's on academic suspension and there's not really a single functional backup PG to suitably fill in so we'll likely continue to lose all road games during Dug's absence
i really miss the Beilein days
idk those 2 guys have/had lightning quick processing
the same favorable assessment of physical ability could have been made for Trey Lance for example but his elite playcaller opted instead for the middling tools guy that read the field better within the scheme
he's been plagued with shoulder problems his career there, i think with the parade of (healthy) 5-star WRs behind him he was probably politely informed he was likely being leapfrogged
Dante Moore was a complete mess this year, he would most likely present an immediate downgrade for tOSU i think and thusly not really address their most pressing need right now
sorry, they should have thought about that before their quarterback broke his leg and players fought through adversity to rise above!
the outshined_ones simply need this rare opportunity to witness Alabama in the College Football Playoff or they won't give the TV their precious attention
completely gutless cowardice from the committee, you wonder why did FSU bother to play their season and fight through adversity
is it just forgotten 3rd string QB Cardale Jones won a title
if a QB wants to ensure their own safety, don't wring every last inch out of your scrambles; it's simply not a reasonable ask to expect defenders to freeze their momentum or teleport around you and refs i think have gotten a bit better at not flagging every improper QB touch as late hit anymore
i think the former is true but this is the counter argument sorta
