Blessing in disguise

I think we are more than likely getting the Mac Jones game plan vs Buffalo where they just ran it the whole game.

Regarding arm talent Book is only beat by Jameis on this roster.

Lolwut? This is far from an ideal evaluation.

They see him in a controlled setting all of the time. This gives them an opportunity to see how he performs when it's not "ideal". Higher the risk, higher the reward.

I mean beating Semen and Hill isn’t saying that much…

There is little in the description that is debatable regarding Book’s physical tools. He’s not a big quarterback and doesn’t have a big arm, and he did struggle with throws outside the numbers. Rather than simply replying with an ad hominem remark, perhaps you are aware of scouting reports that say otherwise? Please post them, as I would be interested to read them.

How would you rate Books arm talent compared to TS and Taysom? Who would you consider the more talented thrower?



From your source:

Here's some more.

Arm Strength: No, Book does not have a cannon for an arm, at least not the kind you see in upper level draft picks. But I think his lack of arm strength is overplayed, and Book has shown the physical ability to make the majority of the throws needed to play at the next level.

It’s not my source; it’s a source. As I wrote previously,

“Throwing outside the numbers takes arm strength, which is Book’s main weakness. Let’s hope he makes all the short to intermediate open throws with accuracy and stays away from double coverages.”

You appear to want to argue that what was written is inaccurate and that Book’s “arm talent,” which means strength and the ability to make throws in tight windows is a strength rather than a weakness. If so, I am interested in seeing the information. Even if the reports of his lack of arm talent have been overblown, it nevertheless is not a relative strength for Book.

As far as arm strength, unless he has gained appreciable zip on the ball since college, Book would fall behind Winston, Hill, and Siemian in that regard.

By the way, from the link you posted:

“ His arm strength and size will likely keep him from ever being a top of the draft player, but it’s good enough to make a lot of NFL throws.”

Does that sound like arm talent is a relative strength or weakness?

There is a reason Ian Book was inactive all year. I hope he can be a game manager but I fully expect some mistakes to happen

Go read Brees’ pre-draft scouting report. It sounds quite similar to what you posted on Book. Just saying.
