I prefer short and simple pages.

Dude, some threads move so fast that you could literally miss a half dozen posts in MY setup, let alone yours.

This is a valid point. Gameday threads are enarly impossible to floow in this setup.

haha shrug.

IMO, keeping them at 15 posts per page makes it easier to keep track of.

The only time it's an issue is when im in gameday threads.

This read comes off pretty well for Glennon, whats not to love about elite arm talent? can he be coached out of the turnovers?

Most of what i've read around this place hates the guy, but why is that? a tall kid with a cannon arm? that doesnt sound too bad.

He's the definition of streaky.

His arm is so strong that he routinely throws 10-yard outs in the dirt, 8 yards in front of the receiver.

His accuracy in the 10-30 range is extremely suspect.

So his arm isnt as great as advertised and he has accuracy issues, that is a problem.

His arm's pretty damn good. He doesn't spike them into feet because his arm is weak, he spikes them into feet because his mechanics are wonky.

He's a 'lanky' tall, which makes for an odd mis-mash of moving parts and a delivery that's not the most repeatable. As a consequence of an erratic delivery, he doesn't always know where the ball's going (but by God, it gets there fast).

He's the kind of kid that could grow into his size and become a decent passer with some coaching. But he's just not a very good athlete so I don't have much confidence in him ever truly growing into that length and developing that repeatable delivery that would allow him to improve his accuracy enough to be a legitimately good starting QB.

Either you're accurate with the ball or your not. Troy Aikman's biggest attribute coming into the NFL was his accuracy. Same with Joe Montana.

And this.

The way I've put it for several years has been pretty simple - you're not going to move a letter grade.

If you're a C- passer, you can become a C passer. C+ passer, you can get to B-. You can improve your accuracy in the margins by quieting your mechanics, learning the proper footwork and simply becoming more routine in your delivery.

But yeah, biomechanics are what they are. The ability to repeat your delivery is going to be something that you're either very good at, or you aren't. Someone like Glennon I just do not think is going to develop that ability, though he's such an odd physical specimen that he's a slight exception to the general rule.

It's the most important element to an accurate passer and it's one that people just don't think about. Your body needs to do exactly what you're expecting it to do every single time. When it doesn't, everything goes to hell. If your body isn't wired for muscle memory that is that precise, you're just not going to develop that kind of consistency.

He certainly IS a gangly looking mfer, it makes sense that a build like that combined with average at best athleticism might produce poor mechanics.

The fact that he apparently comes off as a bit of a dim bulb is even more of a problem, imo.

We need energy and wits.
