One Myth and One Meaningful Trend: Where Quarterbacks Win and What It Actually Means

While studying rookies this spring, I encountered several critics warning us to beware that Jayden Daniels wouldn’t — or at least didn’t — throw to the middle of the field. If a sharp-tongued pundit snaps off something like that and moves on with all the confidence of a peacock, the rest of us tend to shuffle right along with their hands on the smalls of…...

Is Quentin Johnston the Next Davante Adams, or the Next Stephen Hill?

Player development is not linear. It is important to remember this. Not every player is going to burst out of the blocks as a rookie and become a superstar.

The 2014 rookie wide receiver class spoiled it for everyone, with the playmakers that emerged from that group…...

Bijan Robinson’s Rookie Season Looked a Bit Like Trent Richardson’s, But There Is No Need to Panic Yet

Bijan Robinson came into the NFL heralded as the best running back prospect since Saquon Barkley. His landing with the Atlanta Falcons, and Arthur Smith’s skills in utilizing the ground game in his offense, made mouths water at the prospect of what his first season in the league could be like. It’s fair to say that the early returns were . . . underwhelming. But…...

Using self-examination to become better requires action. And it begins with an honest evaluation of what you have been doing and what results…...

Did Zero RB Work in 2023? Part 1: A Brief Analysis of Some of the Best Drafts of the Year – The Wrong Read

As wide receivers got pushed up draft boards and running backs got pushed down, it looked as though value would coalesce around early RBs. In such a season, it may seem that Zero RB is sub-optimal. When it’s…...
