talent wise those guys weren't the most talented QBs to ever play.
The most important “TALENT” for a QB is what’s between his ears. Brady had a lightening release on top of that. He made average receivers look great and did it over a span longer than anyone else with more success than anyone else. Moving in the pocket, making defenders look silly, touch, ARE ALL TALENTS.
Does hitting a golf ball require talent? Both physical and mental and unbelievable consistency. Do you think golfers are talented? Ask Elway, Mahommes, or others to play an average pro golfer and watch them get their asses waxed.
The difference between the 2 QBs on Saturday is Nuss had more talent than Klubnick because playing that position requires so much more than running the ball. That’s why every QB guru and scout said Nuss is the most pro-ready QB in the college game. He can make all the throws and beat you with his mind.

His schtick is to do shite that makes people talk about him. It’s obviously working here.

I mean, he was a pretty damn good player and contributed a lot to our program. Take that for what you will.

Generational talent has nothing to do with athleticism. There are plenty of players more athletic than Tom Brady but that doesn’t make them generational. It is the football IQ that makes them generational. That will always be the difference in the offensive side.

I mean if you want to argue semantics, the term "generational talent" means it comes along once a generation. These 3 guys all played at the same time. I'll show myself out now.

Let me guess. Donovan Mcnab, Dante Culpepper and Doug Williams are his picks.

Wait!!!!
Wish we had the whole segment but SAS said something at the end that caught my attention.
Was Clark saying the Arch Manning is a generational talent but Payton, Brady and Brees aren’t?

If you are voluntarily watching these shows, especially one with Ryan Clark, then you have already lost at life.

I'd argue he was wrong about Brees as well. He was superb in HS and College. Brees averaged almost 20 YPG more than Manning on a worse team.
Agree, if Brees was 6’4” he likely would’ve been picked at 1 over Vick.

Is being extremely accurate somehow not considered a talent anymore? I dont think Anthony Richardson will ever learn to be anywhere near as accurate as Drew or Tom or Peyton and he certainly will never learn to read a defense as quickly or as well as they do. Those are still talents and they were generationally good at that. Agree to disagree with any of the tards on here who say otherwise. What an absolutely fricking retarded opinion.

I'm so glad I grew up in the sportscenter era that didn't have all these attention whores. I haven't watched espn outside of gameday and live sports in a decade

Football isnt played in a gym. Its played on a gridiron where being accurate and making quick decisions are talents that are worth more than being able to throw it very far or run very fast. Accuracy is one of the top talents you want in a qb.

"The problem with Arch Manning is more so other people than him. He didn't ask for these expectations. Other people gave him these expectations without doing their due diligence. Arch Manning, period, point-blank, is neither a generation, nor a transcendent talent. Arch Manning can't run like LaNorris Sellers. He can't throw like Garrett Nussmeier or Bryce Underwood. He's not Trevor Lawrence. He's not Caleb Williams. Those guys were what people felt like were generational can't miss college quarterbacks, right? College football talents."
I don't disagree with any of that.

I'm guessing hes using their athletic ability as talent. But when people are saying a generational QB talent they are not referring to just pure athleticism. They're referring to their arm talent, their pocket awareness, movement inside and outside the pocket, their ability to process defenses, etc.
I would 100% call Peyton Manning a generational talent at the QB spot. His pre-snap and post snap reading of defenses is still the best in the history of football. His accuracy, anticipation, and movement in the pocket was special.
Tom Brady now that one is interesting because what he was during 00-06 was not a "generational talent" at the QB position. What he was, was a winner, a competitor, and a QB who didn't make the mistake to lose the game. His work ethic and competitive nature led to him being the most successful NFL QB of all time but I would agree he was not generational.
Drew Brees actually is extremely athletic which a lot of people didn't realize but dude is 6'0 if that and could dunk. His baseball background was why he was so good at delivering the football with different arm angles. Thats another I would say that was a "generational QB talent."
I used to really like Ryan Clark but damn the last five-six years have made me really not like the dude.

I understand what he’s trying to say at least. You guys are wrapped wayyy too tight when it comes to Ryan Clark

Guy is so out of touch with reality
