Shows very obviously that we're leaning towards pro style pocket passers

exactly. has been that way all along for O.

Miles liked the dual threat QB but wouldn't let him dual threat - wanted him to be a pocket passer. blows my mind.

dual threats are generally sandlot football players. in college they can be very good and win championships, with the right team. Jamarcus Russell was one of the best sandlot qb's ever. Hurts has a lot of skills but can't find the downfield open receiver often enough when scrambling.

Maybe the fact that Narcisse basically hasnt played any meaningful snaps in 3 years played into his decision.

He could just be itching to get on the field and play football again. I totally get that if that was part of his decision making process.

Flynn and Mauck were much more of a dual threat QB than Russell

Jamarcus was totally a dual threat.

He'd either (a) throw the ball on time 1000 mph or (b) wait until defenders were hanging all over him before throwing the ball 1000 mph.

That’s funny shite!

but he will get snapped in half at his current weight

I have seen this said a lot on this board and don't really understand the reasoning for this comment.

If you trot a fat out-of-shape guy onto a college football field is he guaranteed not to get hurt because he weighs a lot? Is a thin in-shape guy automatically going to be a Mr Potato Head that has to have his limbs reattached every time someone touches him?

How many times is a QB hit during a game?

How come nobody says Greedy Williams will be snapped in half, broken or injured every play? Greedy is 2 inches shorter and weighs one pound more (and that is going by LSU's reported weights, I have seen where Brennan said he is now 194). Is everyone concerned with Justin Jefferson being snapped in half at 185 pounds? Is QB a more physical position than cornerback or wide receiver?

I can see where a lighter guy would be easier to tackle but I don't see the huge detriment to his well being because he weighs less. I would think a large mass hitting another large mass would cause more change in momentum and energy than a large mass hitting a smaller mass. I am no scientist though.

Brennan looks like a a HS kid physically.
Burrow looks like a grown man.
Greedy looks like a grown man.

Brennan currently does not pass the physical eye test.

As far as why I’m not concerned with Greedy getting snapped in half is bc on every play someone is NOT trying to do that.

Greedy is getting tackled by 280 plus pound lineman and he is delivering blows not receiving them.

to say they are leaning toward pockets passers is an asinine statement.

I disagree. It's true that Burrow and the current commit are dual threat. But it is also very well known that Slinger prefers pocket passers - he greatly preferred Brennan to Narcisse. The recruit Parrish may have wheels but he is also very accurate. If Parrish were three inches taller, he would be a 5 star/Elite 11 guy.
