jkeerie Posted Wednesday at 12:16 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:16 AM I saw this this afternoon on NFL Live. I thought it was awesome seeing things in VR through the eyes of the players. He also gave a really strong nod to Terrell Bernard today on One Bills Live. He said that Bernard was so well prepared he seemed to know what was coming on almost all the KC plays. 9 Quote
Ray Stonada Posted Wednesday at 12:17 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:17 AM Amazing. The complexity a QB in the NFL deals with within 2-3 seconds is really hard to imagine. I played receiver and on a few plays I took a direct snap and everything just happens way too fast. This POV thing is cool. 3 Quote
finn Posted Wednesday at 12:22 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:22 AM Wow, really impressive technology. Funny to think our grandkids will scoff at how primitive it is. But it is some cool. Give you a sense of how complex and fast things are on the field. 1 1 Quote

GunnerBill Posted Wednesday at 06:05 AM Posted Wednesday at 06:05 AM Orlovsky is the man. Great demonstration too of how you need the right call and the right execution to make a big play work. Great concept and a great job by the Bills players. 1 3 Quote
msw2112 Posted Wednesday at 09:20 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:20 PM This type of thing shows why many guys who are great athletes - big, strong, fast, great arms, accurate passers, etc. - often can't succeed as a NFL QB. The brain has to process information SO quickly and then, once it's processed, execute the play. Orlovsky himself didn't have the talent to do it in the field (at least not consistently at the NFL level), but he's pretty good at breaking it down in the studio. Nice clip. Quote

With all the talent, both physical and mental that a "better than average" QB needs to possess, it's crazy that so much more is needed for them to succeed. Then, on top of that, a QB has to show signs of being able to do it in a "franchise QB" role almost immediately upon entering the league. For the vast majority of young QBs, they need a decent amount of proper training/playing time in the NFL to see if they have "it" or not. The way teams are pushed towards immediate success, these young QBs seldom get the time. It is a classic "Catch 22". 3 Quote

Seems like it would be possible. Put rookie qbs up against actual D schemes at game speed. 1 Quote

The way teams are pushed towards immediate success, these young QBs seldom get the time. It is a classic "Catch 22". Teams usually make it easier on young QBs, though. They aren't always asking their young QB to do what Josh Allen is doing. They scheme things up. They give them simple reads that take away half the field. They use motion and simple rules to identify things. They are given the opportunity to progress and master the mental side of the game until they are able to process more complex things like what Josh Allen and other franchise QBs do on plays like that. That's why dumb QBs like Ryan Tannehill can have some success. Their coaches do all the thinking for them and they heavily scheme and design plays to make it simple for their QB. everything Ryan Tennehill ever did in the NFL was heavily manufactured for him. And he had the athleticism to scramble when things broke down and required him to actually think. He could never step into the Bills offense and run it with any level of success. 1 Quote

Of course, but time is only given to a few QBs every year, typically only the top draft picks. Most do not succeed. The Tannehill's also have varying degrees of skills. Goff was considered the same. Same goes for Tua. It's only by dumb luck that guys like Brady, Warner, Purdy and others are given the chance to show what they can do. At least that's how I see it. 1 1 Quote
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted Wednesday at 11:01 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:01 PM "Now, I wanna put everybody into Josh Allen's body." I hope Orlovsky gets the help he needs. 1 Quote
The Cincinnati Kid Posted Wednesday at 11:25 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:25 PM Orlovsky really working hard to get that 11th yard in the endzones. Quote
