I meant Senior Bowl.How can he kill it at the Combine?
You don't get much time with the teams and it's no lock he even goes to the Combine.
Ok.I meant Senior Bowl.
This year's MVP, Cam Newton ran a variation of it.I'm always nervous about QBs that come out of a spreads system. That system hides a much of flaws making it harder to evaluate the player IMO.
Is there an air raid QB that had been successful in the NFL? I can't think of one.

Yea, you're already seeing it with Mariota.I think NFL offenses are going to start getting more and more like college spread offenses because of the lack of pro style offenses producing college QBs. Air Raid and its derivatives are being exported from the Big 12 to all of CFB along with other gimmick offenses like Chip Kelly's and Urban Meyer's. Until someone in college comes up with a repeatable formula to defend these offenses, you'll have to see NFL teams pulling a Carolina and running a "hybrid" with concepts the QBs can come right in and execute.
Funny how Mike Leach changed all of college football all by himself.I think NFL offenses are going to start getting more and more like college spread offenses because of the lack of pro style offenses producing college QBs.

There are a lot of NFL QBs running the read option now. You see Russel Wilson and Cam Newton do a lot of it. You also see a team like the Patriots do a ton of their work from the shotgun with spread formations. So there are parts of the college game that have started to penetrate the NFL. I think you will see more and more of it happen. Especially as the old school QBs start to become extinct. NFL offenses will have no choice but to adjust.I think NFL offenses are going to start getting more and more like college spread offenses because of the lack of pro style offenses producing college QBs.

More like Mike Price and Mouse Davis.Funny how Mike Leach changed all of college football all by himself.
Who?More like Mike Price and Mouse Davis.
Yeah, with all the Mike Price disciples installing the Air Raid all over college football... No wait, those guys coached and played for Leach.More like Mike Price.
The guy that lost the Bama job over getting spotted at a strip club and the guy who drew up the unrelated Run and Shoot offense.Who?
He seriously thinks Kliff learned the Air Raid from Sumlin? Really?Yeah, with all the Mike Price disciples installing the Air Raid all over college football... No wait, those guys coached and played for Leach.
Here you go with "Kliff learned the Air Raid from Sumlin" theory all over again.
Works in college, not the NFL.If it keeps working it isn't a gimmick
We will see but I think there is a possibility that we are talking about 3 QBs at the top of this draft and in no particular order after the Senior Bowl. I think teams are a lot higher on Wentz then what "experts" initially realized.Most likely it'll come down to which one is left after the Browns take one of them. It's possible the Browns take Bosa but that'd probably only be the case if neither Goff or Lynch impress during the workouts/combine. If that's the case then we may not like either one at #4. The odds aren't high that the one we like best will be there at #4. And if we aren't comfortable taking the #2 QB 4th, hoping to trade down and get him isn't likely going to happen because any team that will want to trade up will probably be after a QB.
Most likely we'll either have to take the #2 QB prospect at 4 or trade down hoping to get Wentz or we aren't taking a QB in the 1st.
Ideally both top QB's look good and we take one. Otherwise I'd like to trade down and get Wentz or at worse trade down and gain an extra 2nd in the deal while still getting a top 10 caliber player.
I never said Kliff learned the air raid from Sumlin so stop that bullshit right now.Yeah, with all the Mike Price disciples installing the Air Raid all over college football... No wait, those guys coached and played for Leach.
