HOF4LOU Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Anyone notice the trend of qbs reading plays off those wristbands? I always felt qbs who did not rely on them, seemed to perform better (no proof but a gut feeling). But then I found it hard to find a qb who didn't use them anymore.....until last night. The expected MVP Wilson vs Garropolo. I got a kick out of watching Wilson all night look at his teammates in their eyes while in the huddle vs Garropolo who had his eyes glued to his cheat sheet to read them the play. Just my opinion but I would prefer the Wilson method. Thoughts?

theAteam Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 I feel like Shanahan is the kind of guy with a playbook so complicated you need the wristband. 4
tcampbell104 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 i think it might depend on how long the qb has been in that system 1 1
EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 how do you feel about hand warmers? The non-dominant hand glove? I get it. But it doesn’t bother me either way.

ticketssince61 Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Another reason that passing yardage is way up over the "old" days!
947 Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) It's all about the terminology used. If a team uses simple terminology, you can realistically call entire plays to the QB & expect him to relay it all correctly in the huddle. If using really complex terminology with like 10 word plays, the OC will just call out a play designation number/letter & the QB will read it off the wristband, easier that way.

Nextmanup Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 I'm in favor of doing every possible thing to improve player performance on all levels. As long as the cheat sheet improves the QB's play and doesn't hinder it, and is legal, why in the world wouldn't you use one?
