QB Battle

[Turbine]

Let’s talk when our guy has the college career baker had and wins the heisman and plays in the NFL. Because stars in recruiting mean absolutely nothing.

Just because there are many examples of where a 5 star can flop and a zero star can win a super bowl doesn't mean they "mean absolutely nothing."

The difference from one star to the next might be negligible but historically when separated by two or more stars the gap means a lot.

I get that one 3 can rise and one 3 can fall but I would do everthing possible to find positive comparisons until proven otherwise.

Turbine if your theory holds true on QB's and weight rooms then chandler doesn't have a chance. Not only does he do the lifts with the team, I also see him in Reds all the time working very hard on the weights. The kid is a weight room rat.

Like Baker Mayfield?

Baker is actually around 6’1”. I don’t know how much of the spring game you saw? Seeing over the line down the field was definitely a major issue for chandler at times when he tried staying in the pocket.

I have zero problem with "weight room rats" in the off season, my concern is game week.

Specifically, arms.

I would rather him throw a million passes. (Hyperbole of course)

Got you. I have always understood you to mean weights period. I would think during the season most QB's do more bands and stretching than heavy lifting. Maybe a light lift one day a week to not lose strength through out the course of a long season.

Russell Wilson lifts 4 days a week.

I'm hearing Fields is the starter, however Chriss is dropping jaws. He has a big time arm, but also has happy feet. This is coming from my source which is very reliable.

Sounds about right. Chriss has crazy wheels for the qb position so he may be used to taking off instead of sitting in the pocket

I’ve been wondering if Des will eventually favor a running QB like himself and revamp the zone read that he ran back in his day. Dude was absolutely filthy running the option

Disagree it affects your ranking to start the season and let’s face it we need all the help we can get to make a BCS bowl. Also Drew Brees is 5’10 and he did pretty well.
