It's real simple, we need to start developing a young QB in the offensive system Culley will be bringing to the Texans.
Because Culley worked under Andy Reid for 17 years, it is likely this is the offense he will implement; and this offense is designed to utilize the skill set of a dual threat QB.
Mond is a dual threat quarterback.
Reids system requires a QB that can throw from the pocket accurately. Running around making crap up isn’t part of his system. That is wholly a product of the play breaking down and the QB being able to escape the pocket and improvise.
Like Elway. Like Mahomes. That’s not their primary role in the offense, and it’s not something you want your QB doing all the time. That’s how you get your QB injured. The best way to protect the length your QBs career is keeping him in the pocket. Running around only ever produces injuries.
Lamar Jackson has improved dramatically in the pocket and he was never terrible to begin with at LOU. Russell Wilson is a pure pocket passer who actually transferred schools to WISC so he could improve in a Pro Style offense like they run at Stanford.
Wilson doesn’t run a Reid style offense and yet like Mahomes or Elway when pressured he can break contain and take off and make plays with his feet.
The Rookie Of The Year QB Justin Herbert is a perfect example of the QB you want. Rocket arm, can make any throw, smart and has wheels and can take off and make plays with his feet. Just like Watson. Just like Josh Allen.
This idea that teams are moving towards a run-1st-centric QB is a laughably bad take. Just look at Mahomes and Allen’s passing numbers. They are pocket passers 1st.
Teams ultimately are looking for John Elway when he came out. He’s the model or the benchmark they want in their QB.
Smart
Rocket Arm
Mobile and has wheels
The best possible option is Sam Howell.
He is built dense and thick like Russell Wilson and can take all kinds of punishment, tall enough, big arm, throws off platform and on the run accurately, smart, and has really good escapability and wheels.
I also like Rattler next year. He needs to have a big year though. I think he’s going to take that next step. To me, this upcoming college year could just be the year of the snake.
Also, next years “Zack Wilson” could be the kid from Nevada. Carson Strong. I heard a lot of rumors that if he had come out this year he was also going in the 1st and that Sean Payton is absolutely enamored with him. Payton apparently loves this kid.
