I read An article about how much of the saints offense we adopted.

It discussed the pro-level read Joe was making and how it required the QB to process and react quickly.

My concern is that Joe was 1. A 5th year senior taking grad classes and 2. An absolute film junky.

Brady often said that the key is fitting the offense to your players. What happens when we have to roll out a younger QBs who’s still enrolled in 12-13 hours of course work and maybe isn’t as far along mentally as Joe.

Obviously in that situation you can’t expect all time numbers, but you can run an overly complex offense for a guy like that.

One thing you can say about Linehan is that he took Dak who was in a very college offense and got him to an NFL level. Even if he wasn’t a finished product when Linehan was fired.

Would be a good thing.

I think we’re pretty well set up, but long term.

Also I just Don’t think 90% of college QBs can make NFL reads and throws.

Tua played pretty well as an undergrad
Lawrence plays pretty well as an undergrad
Fields did okay as an undergrad

I suspect Burrow would have done pretty well as an undergrad.

In offenses tailored to them.

I remember Aranda saying last year that Tua knows where he is going with the ball before it’s snapped 80% of the time.

I've heard he's graduating this spring. I have zero worry about Brennan's work ethic. He's very motivated to be great.

Does anyone think they were make pro-level reads?

There are offenses that underclassmem can do well in. Is our offense one of them?

Chase, Marshall and Mc Math can make a QB look like a Heisman winner. It’s a 50/50 split, I will say this MB has a gun for an arm .

The challenge will be simple:
How much can Myles assimilate and put into play and how do the rest of the team (specially WRs) perform.

I dunno what happens.....are you assuming this is the case for MB? We all appreciate your due diligence with facts before you post.

Also....thanks so much for posting your concern that their could be a drop off in QB play after our last one had the greatest season of all time from a college QB, I mean is it unrealistic to expect back to back greatest seasons by a QB of all time?? jesus

The beauty of this new offense is it is very QB friendly in that it isn't very complicated or difficult and just allows the QBs to just react.
