QB Traits
Arm Strength (ARM): Raw arm strength of the Quarterback
Quick Accuracy (QAC): Accuracy in the quick passing game
Middle Of Field Accuracy (MAC): Accuracy over the intermediate to deep middle of the field
Deep Accuracy (DAC): Accuracy on high difficulty, "NFL" throws, deep and outside the numbers
Off Platform Accuracy (OPA): Accuracy while throwing off platform and/or on the move
Release (REL): 1-5 Scale on how swift the Quarterback's release is. 1 being long and slow (Tim Tebow), 5 being compact and fast (Aaron Rodgers).
Early Snap Processing (ESP): How well the Quarterback can execute on well schemed plays to his first read on the play. This considers his ability to recognizing the coverage pre and post snap, to consistently get the ball to the right spot on time when his first read is open, all without putting the ball in harm's way on his first read.
Late Snap Processing (LSP): Ability to react to new information on the fly when the first read is covered up. This includes (but is not limited to) the Quarterback's ability to come off a first read at the appropriate time when covered, to get through his progressions quickly, to see the entire field, difficult throwing windows, and overall make the best possible decisions with the football once the bullets start flying.
Anticipation (ANT): How consistently the Quarterback is willing to anticipate receivers coming open both against tight man coverage and into zone windows. 1 being the Quarterback must see the receiver come open before he pulls the trigger, 3 being solid signs of anticipatory throws were present, 5 being a Quarterback with rare anticipation.
Pocket Presence (PKT): the Quarterback’s Ability to sense pressure, manipulate the pocket and know when & how to use his feet to extend plays both inside & outside the pocket; this includes the Quarterback's ability to know when pressure isn't there and when to stay in a clean pocket or find avenues to reset the pocket against pressure.
Play Extension (PEX): Both the physical and creative ability to extend plays outside of the pocket.
Ball Carrier Creativity (BCC) Running ingenuity of the QB
QB Scheme Fits
Pro Style: Traditional, Pro-style, offense that puts an even heavier emphasis than other systems on the Quarterback's ability to read out defenses and make consistently good decisions with the ball from the pocket.
Spread: "College Style", Quick hitting passing game that uses space and numbers to make reads faster and more simple for the Quarterback while letting playmakers on the outside provide a larger portion of the team's explosive plays. Typically Spread offenses also use the threat of a Quarterback's legs to add to those numbers problems. While decision making is still important, this system places a higher emphasis on pre-snap processing and Quarterback mobility than a Pro-Style system that more frequently asks the Quarterback to process defenses post-snap from the pocket.
Play Action: A modern, "Shanahan", style scheme that utilizes a heavy mixture of wide zone concepts in the run game that set up the use of play action. This system uses the threat of play action and the run game to draw in the defense and simplify reads on the Quarterback which often simplifies his processing requirements. What is required in this system is the arm talent to consistently hit the intermediate to deep part of the field where these play action concepts attack. Mobility and off platform accuracy are also preferred for the heavy use of play action boots that these systems run.

[@AlaskanRNFL]

Great video, enjoyed the information and break downs. Thank you.

[@jimbo92107]

Great evaluations, especially of Bo Nix, who I think would fit really well with the Vikings offense. Nix moves well enough to survive and operate behind MN's average NFL O line. His excellent pre-snap reads and tendency to hit quick passes in defensive soft spots means that JA, JJ and Hock each should get opportunities to get lots of RAC. It would be up to KOC to tell Bo who his first read would be. His B+ passing outside the pocket also bodes well, as does his ability to scramble for first downs. This adds up to a rookie QB that could survive starting on day one. Give him a legit RB1 for play action fakes, and you might just have a very functional system.

[@thestormofwar]

I think he or McCarthy could work for the Vikes.

[@Rock-Licker]

⁠@@thestormofwarI like McCarthy more; I think his style would be more similar to kirks (especially if we got a good rb for him to lean on a bit); and I’m worried about KOC’s ability to play call for mobile QB’s after Dobb’s fell off the face of the earth last season (once we were able to actually game-plan for him starting).

Yes a top 10 ranking. I was wondering if your potentially considering a rebuild of Washington/Carolina when you potentially get enough free time.

[@mtndewit]

came to take a look at who might potentially be the pick for the Giants, but honestly feel confident that Daboll will get the most out of any of them to maximize their talents which has me kinda leaning towards the ideal draft night being taking Nabers/Odunze at 6 and then using the 2 seconds or a future pick to get back into the 1st for that 5th year on someone like JJ or Nix. Whoever they take, I dont think there is a single coach I'd want to develop my young QB more than Daboll and Kafka after the job they've done with Jones last year, but the work with DeVito convinced me that whatever they're doing with the QBs is rare. To go from running the WC against the Jets when he first took snaps because you feared what he might do to winning 3 games with him and making people believe he was actually the Giants Purdy (the most insane shit ever to anyone who watched him either at Cuse, Illinois or here) was remarkable. So glad that Kafka was retained because I can't say for sure who is the better of the QB whisperers, but no matter what QB is taken or where, I will convince myself its the start of their fledgling HoF career.

[@fakename5308]

He’s better on 3rd down than Caleb Williams, not sure how you all are coming up with this

[@ZephraFPS]

Seems like a strange thing to critique him on. I’m a UW fan and watched every single game he played when he was here. Penix actually does have good pocket presence cause he is more of a pocket passer. He also does have the ability to create with his legs I just don’t think he wants to risk getting injured again.

[@bass518man]

I feel like everyone overvalued the ability to "create" with Stroud last year and undervalued how good he is throwing from the pocket. Even though Penix isn't as good as Stroud, it's surprising to see people do the same with him this year. Just my opinion, but I think what he can do is much more valuable than what he can't.

[@knightdance8377]

Im more worried about his pocket presence tbh

[@Trashbag095]

That “create” narrative so overrated only qb recently that has won a chip from being “creative” is Mahomes. Stafford Brady nick foles etc. at the end of the day, pocket presence, processing abd throwing under pressure will always remain superior

[@jaredsilvers2782]

Stroud created his ass off against one of the best defenses ever in the playoffs against Georgia. He just didn't have to show it that often playing inferior big ten teams, and played to what he was coached.

[@jaredsilvers2782]

@@Trashbag095 Stafford is one of the most creative QBs in NFL history what are you talking about? In fact the QB in recent NFL history most similar to Patrick Mahomes, is Matthew Stafford.

@@knightdance8377 Penix has excellent pocket presence. Watching the tape you see him step up, step to the side, avoid a free rusher and make a nice throw really frequently. Sometimes it's bizarre, you watch people analyze tape and come away with completely opposite impressions.

[@K1forMVP]

I like Taulia a lot as a backup QB, I could see him thriving in AZs stretch zone PA WCO. Love to draft him if he’s available in the 6th to compete with Clayton Tune as Kyler Murray’s backup. That might be a bit unfair though because I think Tune will take a huge step forward after a year in this system transitioning from the straight airraid he ran at UH.

[@Nalaislonley_]

On your video in the background, Nix is hitting second and third reads repeatedly. Kind of tough to buy the first read only narrative. It’s also hard to buy your arm strength argument as well when he’s on tape running and hitting a guy in stride at 55 with the flick of a wrist. Good fit for Minnesota like McCarthy. Also on Nix, his ball placement is some of the best I’ve ever seen. He hits guys in stride, back shoulders, and in position for serious yac. Reminds me of Kurt Warner at this. It’s a seriously underestimated trait for the next level.

[@jaredsilvers2782]

First of all, just because you look one way first, doesn't mean that guy is your first read. College offenses design look offs when he first read is not in that direction. Second, he didn't say Nix was a first read only guy, he said that he's uniquely good at hitting his first read, there's a difference.
