@@newage-sports I started a YT channel discussing HS sports, specifically in GA. The rose of the GA QBs was one of the topics I had lined up, but yours is so well done that I have little else to add!
Brady was a grinder. He wasn't even first team all Metro his senior year. Crazy to think that Brady was on nobody's radar, but that fueled his rise to the top.
At the 5:02 mark, did you really mention Chris Leak as a duel threat QB? That's a joke, right? Leak was a passing QB only. He rushed for 137 yards total in 4 years at Florida. Troy Smith wasn't a duel threat either. He was, at most, a serviceable runner. He rushed for just over 1,100 yards in 4 years at Ohio State. To put that in context, pro-style QB Colt McCoy rushed for 1,500 yards at Texas. Swing and a miss on the "duel threat" point.
Weird comment, but one that can lead to improvement in athlete development. Sure, Fields at least wasn't surrounded by much on-field talent. But do you know around what age men become able to handle all the noise their minds create when trying to multitask at the level needed in the NFL? I know, no one ever thinks of this. The reason so many past NFL QBs were great from day one was that they tended to not become starters until around 24. But the answer to my question is closer to age 23. Before then, they can't shut out the screaming fight or flight instinct enough to remain calm in the pocket. We've seen 4 QBs all around the same age start this year with 3 of them also having started last year & the entire range of coping or failing to can be seen in them: Zach Wilson, Fields, Lawrence & Brock Purdy. How was Purdy so poised almost immediately? Didn't have to start before his mind & body were working together to handle that pressure. With Lawrence, we saw how with Pederson's help he could undo some of the bad Urban Meyer may have been responsible for, but also, undo bad habits that could have become continued ones. With Zach Wilson, we saw what looked like a child going back into Fond Memories of better times like at the combine & he just started running around as if back there. It'll be interesting to see how Fields develops because not only most people, but most NFL coaches don't know about what I'm saying here. When overwhelmed, most people's minds search for Something Simple to focus on whether appropriate or not. So long as doing so reduces the stress of the current instant, the subconscious (SC) reactive mind will remember & latch onto it next time as well. That's what we saw with Wilson. With Fields, there is still some of that, & he doesn't have Pederson to help him untie his mind from repeating the same things he did last season. Footage shows he does often miss opportunities. So, it might be worth your while to look into this: how many prospects get put in too early & fail because of it. Presuming you believe any of this. Well, investigating it may prove it. Peyton Manning's rookie season looks horrible on paper. But apparently around game 10 he starts playing like the HOF QB he is. What changed? Nothing on-field or in coaching. He just became able to shut out the panic of being overwhelmed. You can't teach it. It's an age thing. It's probably *not* the only position in the NFL that overwhelms one's mind at that age, but it's almost impossible for it _not_ to. This is almost certainly why we can't tell if prospects can work out in the NFL _and_ why colleges don't run play-calling identical to it. They can't. The players can't handle that level of complexity. Food for thought.
I definitely think the expectations are WAY too high on the younger players. This is something you see with a lot of guys, but I’ve noticed more mobile QBs are successful younger, since tucking and running is a good option for them. Maybe that’s why we’ve seen more mobile QBs in the NFL as starting QBs have gotten younger and younger?
@@newage-sports Well, if as I think they are in panic mode, then being able to run away from what is triggering that would definitely make them feel safer & reduce that panic for the next time as well maybe. But I'm guessing about that.
Quarterback talent is a little different though, for example there aren’t a ton of big Florida QBs even though there’s a ton of athletic talent down there
Texas has a pretty strong QB pipeline as well. Vince Young RG III Patrick Mahomes Mathew Stafford Kyler Murray Jalen Hurts Baker Mayfield Johnny Manzel Colt McCoy Kliff Kingsbury Quinn Ewers at Texas and Jalen Milroe at Alabama could be next up.
No doubt. Texas has had a QB pipeline flowing for a while too. Interesting that they seem to all come from a handful of states. Definitely a cultural thing for Texas and Georgia.
Drew Brees. And i personally saw the rise of Tannehill. I was stationed out in west Texas and Big Spring was in our division at the school i coached at. He was probably as much of Cam Newton as you can get at the HS level without being the dude himself. Wasn’t surprised when years later I saw his name getting drafted. The kid was good!
fact check: "he has since joined the cleveland browns where he is a mainstay in discussions about the best qb's in all of the national football leauge" literally the least true statement ever spoken. as a browns fan in browns country -it went from oh god what are we doing - to - oh god we paid him what - to well he was a talent qb 2 years ago the last time he touched the field to - welp maybe he'll look better after suspensions to - oh god we payed for this - injured - what a waste - oh he had a whole offseason - oh god he missed his prime - well he's coming off injury - oh hes coming off injury he shoudlve play through - welp this is last chance we know it - oh he's done for the year and as a brown. they're just gonna have to pay kirk cousins and watson to go home next year.browns stuff. this is our normal
I agree with you. This video was published in Watson’s first year with the browns. He didn’t have a chance to play much in Cleveland at that point. Just put up a new video, check it out!
prime joe flacco with 1/3 of the roster being on IR really made my comment sting worse. tua, hurts, lamaar's coaches have done alot to build a system for them to be NFL qb's, but if we learned anything from flaccos comeback, pure unadulterated arm strength, even in the twilight of a career will always be something you can't scheme. it can't be taught. boy does it shine in a city that's never had it, with a group of receivers that weren't making any one's fantasy team before week 12@@newage-sports

Malik Willis is also from Georgia and played high school ball at Roswell
That is true, I often forget that he’s a Georgia guy! Hoping for a better season from him in Tennessee this year.
most underrated sports channel to date.
Appreciate that!
Holden Geriner at Auburn may be a sleeper.
No doubt, especially with a new staff
Dope video man looking forward to more vids
More to come! Working on the next one as we speak
This is fire!!! Keep making content just like this
I appreciate that! New video just went up on this year’s transfer QBs. Check it out!
Wow… very well done! Earned the sub with one vid!
Thanks Shawn! We appreciate the support. Be on the lookout for our next one SOON

Great video/topic
I appreciate that. Thank you for watching!
Awesome Video
Thanks, keep an eye out this weekend for another one!
@New Age Sports ok cool can't wait to watch the video
“Lived up to the hype” 😂

Definitely. Most players’ goal is making it to the NFL. It takes a different kind of person to put in all the time and effort to be the best.
If you are good enough to get a ride to Michigan, especially in the 90s when they pulled in top QBs every year, he had to be on someone's radar.

Great video but - Stetson Bennett - Blacksheer, Ga was also the MVP over Alabama for the National Championship.
Yep! And has been receiving good reviews with the Rams. I think this video came out before this year’s championship game

It’s pretty easy to think that the warm weather states with the most athletes will have the most talent.
Quarterback talent is a little different though, for example there aren’t a ton of big Florida QBs even though there’s a ton of athletic talent down there
Yep. As a Canadian, I can tell you that the limited time-opportunities to play them doesn't make for qualified athletes in summer sports.
Georgia has improved, but I wouldn't put them at the top of the mountain with California and Texas.
I’m not sure I’d say so either, just starting the conversation. The future definitely looks bright in all of those states!
Georgia on TOP
And they keep climbing!
Texas has a pretty strong QB pipeline as well.
Vince Young
RG III
Patrick Mahomes
Mathew Stafford
Kyler Murray
Jalen Hurts
Baker Mayfield
Johnny Manzel
Colt McCoy
Kliff Kingsbury
Quinn Ewers at Texas and Jalen Milroe at Alabama could be next up.

Drew Brees.

@@3serio My bad I thought I included Brees and Tannehill. 😄
Slinging Sammy Baugh, Bobby Layne, Y.A. Tittle, Andy Dalton, Nick Foles, Don Meredith and Andrew Luck are a few other Texas QB’s.
fact check: "he has since joined the cleveland browns where he is a mainstay in discussions about the best qb's in all of the national football leauge"
