of course they’re not getting hit. That’s not the point. Obviously they can’t be in there forever, and not having pressure helps them focus on the coverages they’re seeing

then throw to 4 and 5 star receivers that aren’t on their real team.

well yeah, they’re not bringing their high school receivers to college. Plus the DBs are 4 and 5 stars

It doesn’t develop QBs. They take skills that they already have, stand still in a pocket with no pressure, then throw to 4 and 5 star receivers that aren’t on their real team.

While it is true there is no pressure it is also true that you have ot get rid of the ball within 4 seconds. At least that is how it works with my son's league in Spring, TX. He is in 7th grade and the Bridgeland HS coach got a group of kids to play on a team. There are two middle schools hat feed the HS so he got a 7th and 8th grade team. The team is coached by the HS seniors who are all great kids. I think it is just a way for him to get kids interested early. He must be doing something right because the school is three years old and they had a great season last year with their first varsity team. All my interactions with him have been great. Seems like all the kids (junior and high school) have a great relationship with him. I think he just utilizes it to get his kids more reps and help them bond.

His starting QB is also a absolute beast. Started as a sophomore last year and already getting some power 5 offers. Although apparently he'll be going high in the MLB draft over a year from now so maybe he wont be playing football after next season.
