YoloinOhio Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 C. Jones has definately not been silver spoon fed.

BillnutinHouston Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 C. Jones has definately not been silver spoon fed. I LOVE these kinds of stories. Appropriate that he was wearing a wife-beater t-shirt while the others were in Chicago in $600 suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Modern QBs: Printed in cheap plastic from a 3D printer Old School QBs: Sculpted from granite by a master sculptor Or something like that (NOTE: I have not read the article yet... ) Edited May 11, 2016 by Heitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Modern QBs: Printed in cheap plastic from a 3D printer Old School QBs: Sculpted from granite by a master sculptor Or something like that (NOTE: I have not read the article yet... ) I was wondering if they were manufactured in a plant/factory somewhere overseas and shipped here, or if they were made when a mommy and daddy QB love each other very much and smush their bathing suit parts together......

K D Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) This is pretty much how it goes with all sports. Only the best of the best of the best get recruited. But there's hundreds of schools that need players and backups and backups to the backups. So if you want to get noticed you have to travel to these tournaments and camps. Its basically a full time job and it takes a lot of resources and effort. -travel expenses -hotel -food -cost of camp -time off work (or not able to work at all) If you think you are going to make it just because you worked hard and put up good stats in your home town then you are wrong.

Saxum Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) This article profiles the 2016 rookie QBs and the (very different paths) that brought them to this point Lots of background on Cardale jones that some Bills fans may not know How QBs Are Made | @RobertKlemko studied 15 drafted QBs + found life experiences that are key predictors of success. http://mmqb.si.com/0mmqb/2016/05/11/nfl-draft-quarterbacks-how-modern-qbs-are-made-jared-goff-carson-wentz How is NFL expecting to find new QBs with CTE drying up the crop? For many quarterbacks who end up in the NFL, this grooming process often begins all the way back in Pop Warner. • On average, the 15 quarterbacks taken in the 2016 draft began playing the position at age 9, with only two having taken up the position in high school. When Jared took up football at age 7, a friend of Jerry’s coached the team while Jerry resolved to watch practice from a distance. And regarding QB coaches if they ACTUALLY felt that strongly about it they would not talk privately about it to reporters but talk publicly about crazy rules by NCAA, NFL and NFLPA (the latter conveniently left out). Many have debated the value of so-called quarterback gurus for more than two decades, ever since people such as Theder got involved and created a cottage industry. Many college and pro coaches privately lament that quarterbacks are showing up to preseason camps heaving learned bad habits. Other coaches sing the praises of private coaches who can work with athletes during periods when NCAA and NFL rules bar teams from having contact.
