JA - “I’m trying to transition to being the guy that wins from the pocket”

His scrambling isn't the problem.   He just needs to slide or get out of bounds more often.  Russell Wilson is the best ever at not taking hits when scrambling.  That's what I'd like to see from Josh.  

 

Save the beast mode heroics for those pivotal moments or big games.

"Josh" and "transition" in the same sentence scares me.

Don’t worry, worst case scenario you’ll like it,

"trying" is the key verb there folks

 

If he can shirk his first instinct to run that to me is a positive growth mindset for he to "try"

 

If his linemen and offensive teammates fail to get the job done then IMO that idea will go straight out the window.

 

Which is his more dominant desire. His longevity as an NFL QB  or gaining the crucial first down. I cannot and will not downplay how smart a guy he is. Forget his athleticism. 17 IMO is at least as smart as he is athletically gifted.  He'll figure it out. I have Faith he can do it.

Russ is also 5 foot 10

 

It’s a lot easier to slip tackles and make people miss at that size… Josh is a thoroughbred

You’re not wrong. What actually makes me more nervous than their D-line is Josh’s ampitude. 
 

Dude gets so hyped. Primetime, division foe, Aaron Rodgers, I’m worried hero ball Josh might forget that he has options that aren’t 20-30 yards down the field. 

The first game against the Rams last year he checked down pretty good.Still don't know what happened the rest of the year

yes,  guys like Russell Wilson (sub six footers) can get down sliding  a lot easier than a 6-5 beast.

I think this is the point. Well done

he has often reacted. or over reacted and got out running.
Had good reason often times !

 But other times it was just expecting a failed block again or poor blitz pickup.
Shifting laterally was not his thing. He did get better at stepping up, But when young he rolled out an awful lot.

 If the O line knows where he will be they might be better blockers  LOL ?

You want to win the big one…

 

You win from the pocket.

 

It’s the way the game is designed.  It’s the way it is shaped.

 

The QBs who hoist the Lombardi…win from the pocket.

 

No.  See: Mahomes
