This is his biggest problem right now. You have to understand the situation you are in, you have to know to throw the ball away when nothing is there and take check down option when pressure is there. There are many bad habits he needs to correct in order to survive in NFL, and those are not easy to correct.
Priority UDFA often pays better than being a 5th rounder. As a FA teams are competing for a player, 5th rounder can take the salary slot given or not play effectively ending his career.
This is the NFL, development happens so fast. I used to out 2 to 3 years of dev on guys like Dart and he ended up being ready sooner than later. It's all about what you are asked to do of course. Shedeur is in a WCO. That's a lot for a rookie
Is it a complete retooling of him as a QB, mechanics, awareness, system learning, reading defenses etc or mental vs physical per say?
Exactly. How does 12 get reps at QB4 (and second developmental QB) to work on areas of improvement.
Partial. You have to remember, his main job is also going to be scout team QB to give looks to the defense of the opponent. True mastery comes with playing time. That's why I say, partial.
Cool. I hope to hell they cut him. He'll be picked up in under 10 minutes.
The Browns have 5 of them, lol. 2021 Saints is kinda misleading. Hill was an all purpose player.
Strange how Flacco was a part of two of those rosters.
Does he still have the same QB Coach? Feels like he needs a more mature and helpful mentor and coach. Bailing out the back is terrible coaching
Musgrave. One of Prime's guys.
Not for the 53 man. Huntley’s contract was terminated, they just wanted him for preseason.
Watson?
Well yeah true but he’s on IR so he won’t count against the 53 for a while
And Shedeur would have been done dirty all preseason, that was certainly the play. He just happened into a start when everyone else was hurt.
To me, the problem SS has is when he has no faith that he'll get any blocking, he still wants to move the ball down the field--and believes he can find a way to do so. Shocking.
This is where his dad always being his HC hurts his development. As a NFL QB, you have to be able to take the quick and short yards when it's there. The big play is not always there. You don't always have a Heisman WR making big plays for you. Even if you play with the 1s, you will still have a lot of games that 3 seconds throwing window is all you can have in a lot of snaps.
I'm not sure I completely agree with all of the above, but it seems to me SS12 played well in the pre-season game where he had a strong supporting cast, this past game he felt the pressure to the guy since he was not supported. He reverted to a lot of bad habits, holding the ball too long, fading farther and farther back in the pocket etc. I think he is used to being the hero and each level he goes up the harder it gets to be that guy. It was pretty hard at FBS level, it will be near impossible in the NFL. Brett Favre did a lot of the same when he was first in the NFL, believing his arm could overcome all obstacles. I agree he needs to go sit behind somebody for a year or two and learn. Cleveland isn't the place for that.
Stop making excuses!
He played well because he is great at throwing accuracy (short-medium range) and his elite decision-making ability. We know his strength, there is a reason he is probably the best QB in the Colorado history.
