Great Points on QB play by @KirkHerbstreit !!
I was sitting at the Baccarat Bar at the Wynn recently, visiting with the father of a high school quarterback, discussing QB play. (Great spot, by the way. Highly recommend.) Today, he sent me this video with a simple message: “EXACTLY what we were talking about.”
Couldn't agree more.
I've watched this happen for over 20 years. We identify quarterbacks with exceptional physical traits, reward them with recruiting rankings, and too often mistake their athletic advantage for mastery of the position.
At the high school level, a quarterback can be the best athlete on the field and overcome poor decisions with superior physical ability. But as the competition improves, those advantages narrow. Suddenly, identifying coverage, managing protection, processing progressions, and delivering accurately within a compressed window become the difference between playing quarterback and simply making plays.
The concern isn't that we're evaluating physical traits. Those matter. It's that we're often evaluating what is easiest to measure rather than what is most important to project.
A 70-yard throw tells me something about arm strength. It tells me very little about whether that quarterback can recognize a rotating safety, eliminate a covered primary, and deliver the ball to his second option before panic sets in.
That's the evaluation challenge, and more importantly, the development opportunity.
The quarterback position is not a throwing position. It is a command position. Physical talent creates opportunity. Processing, decision-making, and repeatable accuracy determine how effectively that opportunity translates as competition improves.

IMO: Unless you as an Assistant Coach are giving a shoutout or saying something positive about an individual player or position group...The only person that needs to talk after practice or after the game is the head coach.
Every HS coach in NJ needs to go and follow @sidelinesnj … their site has been the Go 2 since we lost Gridiron !!!

I wrote a book with PJ titled Row the Boat. I can tell you he is the real deal. What you see is what you get.
PJ Fleck was asked after the game how he's able shut out the haters and continue being himself despite the heat he takes publicly.
His message, per usual, is worth a listen no matter what you think of the Minnesota Gophers' head coach.
"We will never ever, ever, ever take winning for granted... I don't think there's any reason for anybody in this world, no matter who you are, to apologize for who you are. As long as you are being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world. You do that, don't you ever change... Be yourself."
This is the time of Year where you see if your Coaches have been developing your backups and younger guys … those “JV” guys should be in a position now to steal some snaps or help if guys are banged up !!!! #Development
