What type of QB does Andy Reid prefer?
 

We've seen all sorts of QB's under Reid in philly

Mike Vick mobile/spread option
Vince Young mobile/spread option
Nick Foles pocket/big arm (Coryell-ish?)
Kevin Kolb pocket/west coast
A.J. Feeley pocket/west coast
Jeff Garcia mobile/west coast
Donovan McNabb mobile/big arm (coryell-ish?)
Koy Detmer Mobile/West Coast


what type of QB is Reid looking to draft?

I think he prefers the WCO, pocket guy with a bit of escapability... Brett Favre, Garcia, McNabb, etc.

Geno Smith

This.

How are we defining "mobile." Too often that's used to characterize running QBs, and this was certainly not McNabb, even in his prime. He was elusive in the pocket, though, and could throw well on the move.

This.

That's what I was trying to get at. I think he likes a pocket passer that's ELUSIVE, like McNabb or Favre.

To me, that makes Geno and Wilson much more probable vs. a guy like Glennon...

Espn is scaring me... Talking about how he can fix cassel

well i tried to include 2 descriptions


mobile/option = vick ... a guy half run/half pass

mobile/coryell = mcnabb a guy that COULD run but was still most about the pass.

Jeff garcia = mobile/west coast looking to pass but running the ball was still a definite weapon of his game

McNabb ran the ball a fair amount early in his career. Quick check of stats shows 500-600 yards rushing his first three seasons as a starter. He dialed it back though once he became more accustomed to QB in the NFL. Based on how Reid has used his QB's and RB's, my assumption is that he appreciates a level of versatility in his skill players if possible.

True enough. And I love the bold.

McNabb was such a tank back in the day...

The one that isn't like Matt Cassel.

The type that win.

So anybody else notice another theme in that list?

You did just fine. :thumb:

More than half are white so it's clear that Reid might have reservations about Smith?

Tebow would work well.

A. J. Feeley came out of the Ducks' spread offense and was pretty mobile. He was a lot more like Garcia than Foles.

The way Geno Smith can move around in the pocket leads me to believe that he would be a perfect fit for Reid.

west coast with some mobility in the pocket = Barkley

Geno Smith has drawn comparisons to Donovan McNabb...I just hope we don't adopt the Eagles pass happy offensive philosophy.

He went in to every season except his first with a black QB, though. :hmmm:

Barkley is considered mobile?

If he wants to go more vertical like he did with McNabb, it could also be Tyler Wilson or Geno.

Injury concern and measurements at the combine will go a long way to determining his stock, IMO.

Pocket mobility, yes.

I won't be shocked if Reid drafts Barkley.

Just gonna have to deal with it.

I would be content just to have an offensive philosophy.

I think Daboll's plan as coordinator was just to make it look offensive.

Geno has better pocket presence and mobility than Barkley.

Reid will take one look at Cassel's tape and cut him. He knows what QB play looks like.

Matt Miller still thinks he drops into the 20's. Glennon might go before him.

Koy Detmer

tbh i could barely remember who A.J. Feeley was

Geno...

Tyler Wilson

It'll be Wilson or Geno.

The most hilarious thing about him is that Philly fleeced a 2nd round pick out of Miami for Feeley.

Yep. And I'll be ecstatic with either.

This.


:clap:

Barkley has better pocket presence. From the huddle to the actual throw Barkley is better than Geno; and he should be at this point in his career.

FML!!!, your kidding right?

I thought he went in with Kolb as the starter a couple of years ago and yanked him for Vick when he sucked.

From the huddle? Have you been in the huddle with both to compare?

JFC some of you people...

He prefers mediocre QB's who he will stay with for far too long.

JFC, fine from the moment the huddle breaks. Feel better? Plus, I haven't seen Barkley lose his composure as much as Geno when things go bad.

I will trust Reid's QB opinion although he didn't hit the jackpot with Kolb. For all of McNabb's success, I firmly believe Reid's playoff failures had a lot to do with McNabb's inability to not choke in big games.

Reid has a lot of patience with the players he believes in. One of his biggest downfalls in Philly according to the fans.

Have you ever seen Landry Jones upset? Me neither. Sign him up!

Reid absolutely hit the jackpot with Kolb. He got a second round pick + DRC for him, right?

i've seen Jones upset a lot, you can tell by the shit stain on his pants every time he gets blitzed.

Danny Parkins ‏@DannyParkins

Shawn Barber on what traits Andy Reid prioritizes in Quarterbacks: "Accuracy."

Hello Geno. Hands down the most accurate QB in the draft this year and its not even close.

McNabb's main issue was accuracy.

Yeah, that throwing the football stuff is overrated.

LMAO

It is when your sitting on a top three RB in the league in McCoy and you don't use him.

Right? That ground and pound philosphy is what wins championships in todays NFL! :rolleyes:

Uh, no. As far as sliding within the pocket and evading rushers, stepping up, and slipping rushers, no. It isn't even close.

I mean, the Jets went to back-to-back AFCGs with it! It is the only way! ROFL

Meh, his hatred for Geno Smith is strong. Until Geno is on the field throwing for 400 yards, some of these haters are not going to change their mind.

I seriously question the quantity of film watched, the vision and the judgement of some of the planeteers who make some of these claims, Mr. Sorter.

Matt Cassell is the prototypical Reid quarterback. No joke.

Leadership, toughness, screen passes all day long...

Ladies and gentlemen your Chiefs starting quarterback for 2013.... Matt Cassell!

I'm pretty sure Geno lovers have good reason to rejoice...

I question whether they consumed a large quantity of paint chips as children.

For some, they probably never kicked the habit.

Trust me I wouldn't be surprised. Let's hope we get new GM that pushes Cassel out.

What bothers me is that us chumps on a website can sit here and watch a ton of film on these QB's and figure out who looks to be the best prospect.

and then you have PAID PROFESSIONALS like Kiper who do this every day 24/7 and they are pimping someone like Glennon over Geno.

I really just don't get it.

Mel is paid extra by agents to plug guys. The average viewer doesn't know that he's wrong, just accepts his word as the expert.

:)

Paid by agents to market players+ arrogance + overall being shitty talent evaluators. For ****s sake, Mel Kiper thought that Jamarcus Russel would be Elway and Russel WIlson would be complete garbage. Gruden almost beat his ass on set over that ROFL

As do Geno Haters.

Reid brings a new dynamic and confidence when it comes to new QB's.

All of a sudden, those physical tool Geno exhibits have a greater chance of turning into NFL production.

With Childress and Reid selecting and coaching a prospect, you have a high probability of success.

That's why I tell people to go research prospects on their own rather than just listening to what Kiper has to say.

These are the same type of people who accept being a Jehovah's Witness because their parents told them its the truth.

GO RESEARCH YOURSELF PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR MINDS!

For as much hate as people have for Childress, I think he can be creative at times.

My question is, Reid primarily utilizes a zone-blocking run scheme, whereas IIRC, Childress and the majority of WCO uses a power scheme that utilizes a fullback. It will be interesting to see how our run game looks next year IMO.

in b4 Reid doesn't use RBs

This offensive line is well-built for a ZBS for many years due to the young talent. It would be a mistake to choose a scheme over the talent on the line.

Do ya'll really want Andy Reid as your coach?

No, not really...

Definitely. Our OL is athletic enough to get in space quickly and cut. Additionally, I feel we're going to see much more use from Charles in the screen game

Honestly, I hope to see something in the mold of the Coryell system with a higher emphasis on the running and play-action game. Frankly something similar to what Al Saunders ran.

For being a WCO guy, Reid loves to utilize vertical concepts. That + PA + Geno + our running game = me gusta

I would assume that Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson and Matt Barkley are all in play.

So he's going to bring in Michael Vick right

Well, then its got to be Geno, and its not even close.

:hmmm:
