Gabbert sucked because he crumbled in the face of pressure. That's literally Daniel Jones' best trait. He stands in and takes wicked hits while delivering strikes all game long. I'd go back and watch how tough Jones hangs in the pocket. He seriously got mauled in 2-3 seconds on almost every snap and didn't panic or lose accuracy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock back pedals in the face of pressure and doesn’t set his feet on throws with pressure. He also doesn’t keep his feet active in a clean pocket. His feet come to a dead stop and then when there is pressure he back pedals. If his feet were active he could step up in the pocket. It's laughable to think that Mahomes had noticeably better footwork than Lock, but it isn't worth arguing about it. The point is from the neck up not the knees down.

Throws a pretty ball from a clean pocket and can go through progressions. Would have been drafted Gabbert-style last year too high. This year, the poor play of the Auburn offensive line exposed his total inability to hang in and complete throws under pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyBacall Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 How is Kyler Murray even draftable right now with such questionable commitment? You can tell his heart isn’t in it at all and that’s just a recipe for disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDOG_det Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Do yourself a favor and watch the whole interview. And also keep in mind that he supposedly only did the interview with an agreement that he would be asked about it once with one follow up. With that in mind, Dan Patrick looks like an *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is clear is that he's trying to leverage the A's into making an offer the NFL can't beat because, right now, an NFL team can easily make him a much better offer.

The thing that's really concerning to me with Lock is that when his footwork does really come apart under pressure, it feels like it pretty much always devolves into this panicky frantic backpedal with back foot throw wilting away. Even in college, Mahomes footwork would go freelance quite frequently, but he'd at least show flashes of using it to move laterally or roll out to escape or reposition in the pocket. Trying to find a place to throw from, even if the footwork was still sloppy there. Compared to where Lock often looks reminiscent of Gabbert, just looking like he's trying to run away from the pocket and get as far from the LoS as possible or something. Part of it might be down to the system and coaching...but the guy hasn't changed that aspect under pressure appreciably over ~4 years as a college starter. That's a lot of reinforcement of a very bad habit. Is he going to break it right away with NFL coaching after 4 years of not doing so? It's a bit scary. Footwork, you can fix. If that's the problem, it's probably among the most "fixable" aspects. Panic under pressure on the other hand, is less fixable. If that's the problem, your best hope is going to be investing an absolute fortune in an impenetrable wall of an OLine or something, and hoping they don't do anything too catastrophic when they do get pressured. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I talk about footwork I’m talking about a broad umbrella of it under pressure, clean pocket, on the move, etc. His footwork is bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Kyler is not as thick as I thought he would be. I felt he was built more like a RB, I mean if he was like an extra 15-20lbs of muscles maybe I’d be more comfortable placing him in an NFL offense. I just can’t justify spending a first on a guy who is probably going to start breaking down halfway through his second contract. He’s going to run into the same issue that plagues RG3 and Cam they can’t stay healthy cause of their style of play. Now remember, Murray is nearly half a foot shorter than RG3 with about 30lbs of difference. I think he knows this and is just trying to force the A’s to pay him. If someone traded up for Kyler, history points to it being a franchise altering mistake. Edited February 4, 2019 by YogiBiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think this and I am a Sooner alum and fan. 14 games and people want to anoint him with this? Must not have watched the 'Bama game...that was ugly. Yes, the D was bad but we knew that was going to happen. Did not know Murray was going to get so rattled and confused. smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know Murray was going to get so rattled and confused. smh I'm not "anointing" him I'm giving him the proper credit for putting up the most efficient season for a quarterback in the history of college football. I don't care that he only started one season, he was sitting behind a Heisman winner before winning a Heisman of his own. The idea that a quarterback has to start for multiple years is antiquated and dumb. Is it unusual? Sure. But it's only unusual because most QBs like Kyler Murray don't usually have to wait behind a QB like Baker Mayfield. Also, of course, I saw the game against Alabama. One game doesn't make up an evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
