Love JT’s content and how well he breaks down plays. He makes watching all 22 film entertaining and very informative.

[@Trivsdotcom]

QB School has helped me learn so much… really solid page

[@robe2504]

100%. Gave me a completely different understanding of that Vikes 4th and 1 in the Vikes game and the how the play almost worked despite a complete mix up in the blocking scheme.

[@iamseanegan]

JT is the real deal. The QB School is such a great channel. I love it.

[@hermitrob5481]

Absolutely addicted to JT. Football nerd heaven

[@dfp_01]

Love watching JT break down film. Glad you guys could have him on!

[@thomasmoshier3920]

Love you guys, you’re the best! Throw in JT, and I’m in football heaven!

Great stuff!

JT is awesome.

[@BigG6179]

So two different QB's are turning down wide open guys for TD's....yah it's coaching. Fields is hitting those in Pit now.

[@didgruntleddansnyderfan]

We should remove the forward pass and return to two-way ball the way God probably intended.

[@robe2504]

Why turn into a pumpkin? Darnold is only 4 months, and 4 games in with this team, and in this offence. Why wouldn't he continue to improve as he becomes more conversant with the scheme and play calls and more time working with his playmakers??? They still made plenty of easily corrected execution errors in the Packers game. Two delay of games, and a wasted time out because the play calls were in late. Or the surrender sack where Sam turned one way but the RB was on the other side. Was it Sam or Aaron that got it wrong? Or the 4th and 1, at the end of the game, where Sherfield and Jones mixed up their blocking roles. Had they taken the right man, that play is a TD or end of game, and the score is 31-22 or 38-22, and everyone is talking about that game differently. They should be able to easily clean up things like that. I think we're seeing the floor of Sam, and this Vikes team, not the ceiling. So many analysts have Sam's ghosts stuck in their head making them think about pumpkins.

Throwing motion and footwork or the second most important qualities to being a good NFL quarterback the first quality is having the physical ability to play at the highest level. The third quality is obviously off the field stuff as far as character and leadership is concerned. If a player completes all three of those things, you should draft them in the first round Now think about Bryce young . Doesn't have the physical capabilities and has poor footwork and throwing mechanics. It gets real easy to determine who has a chance to be great at the NFL level. All you have to do is look for those three qualities The rest comes down to injury health and things like that

[@in2darabbithole967]

Love how you made it out of the field before even mentioning the football IQ. 🤨

[@brandonchristopher9657]

@@in2darabbithole967 I like how you bring up football IQ as if that really means as much as you think it means. Would you consider Brett favre or Cam Newton or even Eli Manning is having high football IQ. Those guys all threw tons of interceptions fumbles low completion percentage and they're all elite players in the NFL LOL Brett favre and Cam Newton were dominant MVPs and they definitely didn't have natural football IQ, but there were two of the most physically gifted players to ever play in the NFL. Like I said, you can teach an offense that works if the players have the first three things I said Hell there 's tons of extremely high IQ guys who can't play in the NFL cuz they don't have the physical stature. The mechanics to throw the ball the footwork and they don't have the character or work ethic off the field and that's what I meant by character by the way Good character as a prospect means you're doing your job, you're not getting into trouble and you're working on your skills so that would fill in the football IQ part. But what you're talking about is complete nonsense because that's like impossible to measure. You can't measure the IQ of a player by just looking at them. Put up big numbers in college because your IQ is really based on your physical ability. If you have a lack of physical ability to play, then you're going to be limited into what your mind is telling you to do You can be mentally the smartest quarterback on Earth but if you physically can't make the throws it doesn't matter LOL

[@in2darabbithole967]

@@brandonchristopher9657 Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Joe Montana and the list go on. And I don't consider Brett Favre, Cam Newton or Eli Manning as "Elite" Good, sure, but Elite? Nope!

Speaking of the draft being commie bs, we need to start the petition for the 4 teams that play in the conference final swapping first round picks with the bottom four teams.

[@tagoremcmurtry]

teams wouldnt be able to tank and there would be some late season battles between bottom teams.

They built OL for Daniel but the owners didnt WANT to build one for Sam Howell last year. They killed him last year.

[@ra1288]

Im not complaining b/c with just a few more wins last year we wouldn't have Jayden

[@damiand1500]

The owners? You mean Ron Rivera. And the OC did no one any favors by calling so many passing plays when the OL was not very good and Howell pocket presence was subpar.

[@Diablo2384]

Completely different group of people making those decisions

[@AmateurSynthusiast]

Caleb is garbage

[@NirvzHD]

Ok. I'll trust you over the 3 guys who talk football all day and one who played QB in the NFL who said nothing close to this.

[@Curtfj]

A fourth rate qb is now the expert. Watch some of the plays he breaks down then go watch a breakdown from an actual successful qb and you'll see the difference

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

Which former QB breakfowns would you recommend we look at?

[@christopherstone2691]

@@Erik_Ice_FangHave you heard of the Manning’s?

[@Curtfj]

@@Erik_Ice_Fang Kurt Warner and Chase Daniel are who I was referring to. Watch a breakdown from each of them on the same game/player and you'll see what I mean

[@rawkurface]

​@Curtfj JT and Chase put out pretty similar content and have more or less the same amount of nfl gametime experience sure how anyone would like one and not the other.

[@farbod21]

90% of the coaches in the NFL were either tenth rate football players or not even good enough for college ball. Your comment couldn't be any more ignorant. JT is in the 1% among analysts or coaches. Idiiot.
