Analysis starts with Stetson Bennett’s back-to-back national championships, emphasizing that success in college football doesn’t always correlate with NFL stardom. Historical examples like AJ McCarron are highlighted.
Ian Boyd emphasizes that having at least one, preferably two, NFL-level wide receivers is crucial. College offenses now rely on scheming plays that ensure top receivers are the primary read.
Effective game managers get the ball out on time and minimize turnovers. The ability to consistently execute the game plan and make accurate throws is more valuable than raw talent.
Quarterbacks who can run add significant value by breaking defensive structures and creating plays even when initial reads aren’t open. Examples include Caleb Williams and Vince Young.
True progression passing is typically seen in experienced quarterbacks. It involves understanding protections, making multiple reads, and requires years of honing.
