Haener film looks better than Young. (1 Viewer)

I'm going to be charitable and assume the OP is referring to the quality of the "film" itself. Perhaps Haener's footage was shot in higher definition than Young's. Yeah, that's probably it.

Ryan Leaf wasn't a bust because of lacking talent....
he lacked being able to handle failure.
there is more to the mental aspect of qb than there is physical. which is why brees did so well. he had just enough physical trait, and had the mental out the park.

You're right, and some said Burrow would be a career backup. They're just setting themselves up to look foolish.

All you can do at this stage is assess their tools, which tells us their potential, and then guess how they'll adapt. It can be fun to guess if we don't take it too seriously.

Joe was coming off the greatest QB season in college football history. Winning againest 5 of the top teams and defenses on the way to a natty.

Let's not let the last few years of Brees' career reimage who he was. Drew Brees was an amazing athlete. He was really good at multiple sports (tennis and basketball) and had a really good arm with insane accuracy. Saying he had just enough physical traits doesn't do him justice.

all you have to do is go back and read about how a lot of people thought Steve Walsh looked better than Troy Aikmen.. we all know that ended..

To be fair, it was mostly Jimmy Johnson saying that Walsh was better than Aikman, because he knew he could fleece someone into taking Walsh off their hands for some draft capital.

Jimmy J was the original Bill Belichick.

Let’s take your point even further -

Every single NFL players - from the super stars to the scrubs that barely ever get in a game - on every team - are world class athletes that are more physically gifted than the other tens of thousands of players coming out of college who never sniff the NFL.

Look at every NFL QB room on every team and almost every single one of them, from the starter to the clipboard holder was a multiple sport superstar in high school.

It’s sometimes hard for non-athletes (Im definitely one of those ) to comprehend how insanely athletically gifted a professional athlete of any sport truly is.

Agreed. I believe the dumbest argument on the internet is someone who actually believes the best college team
would beat the NFL's worst team.

The first time I remember this subject coming up was the 1995 Nebraska team vs the 1-15 NY Jets. It was an article
written by USA today. The writer asked Vegas oddsmaker Danny Sheridan his opinion. Sheridan said if he
had to set the odds it would have been Jets - 28.

especially those big guys on the line. Most guys that size couldn't do what they do.

I hated it happened against the Saints,but this is still the most athletic play I've seen
a lineman make. Btw, Darrion Conner was not slow. He ran a 4.5 at his combine.

there used to have a preseason game every year, The Chicago Charities College All-Star Game, NLF champs vs College All Stars, 1934 - 1976. I didn't know it lasted that long. But the overall series was NFL 30–9–2. But that was a different time, it would never be close now, especially if you are talking NFL champs vs College All Stars. Worse NFL team vs College All Stars, it may be close for the first half, but i still don't think it would be close..

Agreed, an All Star team would stand a better chance. The game you mentioned was cancelled for
two main reasons. The first was teams didn't want to subject their draft choices to injury in a meaningless
game. The second was the game was no longer competitive. After losing the 1963 game,Vince Lombardi
made it a point to beat the crap out of the all star team.

Time to bumpasaurus this thread since I first bought Haener to peoples attention way back.

excellent post. This is why I find it comical when people on a message board refer to any player as ‘trash’ ‘garbage’ etc.
Even the worst NFL player is amazingly gifted, comparatively.
