This is why I love Kurt's videos. We don't get these type of explanations of the passing game from other content creators on RUclips. Kurt is thorough & professional. There are other former professional QBs on RUclips, but their videos are usually "This guy is open. Throw it to the open guy now" type of videos. Those creators don't point out which defender the QB should be looking at based on the coverage the Defense is running on a particular play like Kurt does. Thank you, Kurt for making great content for us.
I don't think so. This is nuanced material. So, at most, even if it exploded maybe tens of thousands at best. Hundreds of thousands, I don't see it. Not that type of content.
@@rockabye_baby187As gambling gets legalized in more states it would behoove the gamblers, as well as the fantasy ballers, to up their abilities in handicapping quarterbacks. 🤔
Kurt, thank you so much for this channel. I always admired you as a man and a player when you played. Now I appreciate you as a teacher. I am learning so much from you. Please keep sharing videos like this
Great topic. Im only 7m into it and already know I want to watch the whole thing where Im not distracted The "best look side" progression is something I always try to explain to folks when I talk about Shanahan concepts and how QBs in this scheme are taught to look at defenders often to make a side open by holdin a defender.
Thank you, this cleared up a lot of what you talked about in your previous breakdowns. I hope your having success reaching the NF., I hope people realize you were a success when most men would be of retirement age, a true God given phenomenon. It's Super Bowl time and I want to bring up not just your championships but the record you set for 477yds. May God continue to bless you by getting your help for everyone to the masses for showing his love and concern for others.
I have learned so much from you Kurt. Thank you for making NFL QB theory understandable to the layman. I now find myself analyzing the QB play when watching the game, something I never did before I found QB Confidential. Yes, I'm subscribed.
2@Time & Best Read Side bring in the Air Raid or Option Ideal - making the Defense wrong. All this starts the idea of what truly is your Primary and Secondary Reads. I'm seeing some of these more innovative OCs playing with this idea. Like the Vid I did on Bobby Slowik, where the 1st Read isn't necessary your Primary and can be a quick check. Of course, that falls in line w/ Best Look Side + a primary or secondary read with more than one receiver involved at any one time. Can have 2 on one side = 1 read...1 middle ... 2 on other side.. ends up being 3 Reads for 5 Wrs. Add in Best Side, then suddenly a rookie like Stroud looks amazing - it's a very simple read progression. Stroud has said as much. He said that his NFL Offense is simpler than Ryan Day's College Offense --- that's a good thing - not bad. Power Spread! :)
How blessed are we to have a HOF QB teaching us QB for free on the internet with just a click of the buttons... it blows me away that this channel doesn't have 100 million viewers with every kid who aspires to be a QB watching everything all the time... I mean seriously KW is your QB Coach what is wrong with these kids that they do not take advantage of such an amazing resource?!!? Less than 800 views & this was posted like 3 hours ago... look at the garbage that gets like 1 million views... unreal- I wish I was a kid again & could learn all of this from a PRO FOOTBALL SB winning QB [& they got robbed by the steelers BTW or it would have been TWO SB's] how awesome would that be to put all this wisdom to use on the field & just ball out way ahead of the curve!
@@MrAdamNTProtester 1) Psychologically, the reason Warner will never be popular should be obvious: he _is_ brilliant. Your (enter favorite team's HC here) isn't. Watching Warner will make this abundantly clear. If you want to know why this turns people off to this instead of makes them side with truth or use it to pressure their teams to call better plays, well that's more psychology that most people get upset with me for telling them about. 2) Who is "they" that got robbed by the Steelers? The Seahawks? They definitely did in a super-bowl no less.
Thank you Kurt for producing these videos. I am going over these with my son and I know it will help him!!! What program are you using to produce these videos? Thank you
Great explanation. Seems like this might explain why some QBs do better when blitzed. Defender read if the Will, Mike or Sam blitzes it should leave a hole in the coverage.
Every good QB will crush s blitz. Rogers, Brady, Manning... When you hear fans clamoring for more blitzing it's usually misguided hope. Oops, I left out our host Kurt...sorry...
@@disqusrubbish5467 Blitzes throw off the timing of a QB if the play called is one featuring slow to develop routes. So it's usually more of a _play-calling_ thing when a QB succeeds against this. But it depends. There's a range within this. Goff & Cousins are _masters_ of the timed passes who can even throw to a receiver they can't see because they learned the routes & plays that well. But both are bottom-tier at improvising & adjusting to when things go wrong. At the other extreme you have Brady. *_All_*_ of _*_HIS_* apparent greatness was due to play-calling. The Entire Point Of Spy-gate was that Bellichick could not scheme offenses. But his ego was too big to remain content as a great DC. For his schemes to work he had to have the QB know what was up. These guys had *hundreds,* do you hear me, _HUNDREDS_ of 1 on 1 meetings going over those tapes so not only would Bill know where to send the check-downs, Tom would know where to look for them. Brady retained the ability to read defenses pre-snap even after he left N.E. A brilliant defense schemed by Sean Payton designed specifically to change immediately after the snap proved this & the Saints were 4-0 against Tom while he was HC. Other QBs like you mentioned, Manning & Rodgers simply had the ability to do under pressure. _Their_ highlight reels are _mostly_ incredible throws to receivers. Brady's is mostly throwing to wide-open receivers as if every other team forgets how to play defense when he's at QB. Again, Brady had foreknowledge. He never unlearned what he picked up from studying those tapes. Imagine what Brees, Andrew Luck or Manning could have done had they known they could rest for 3 quarters each game, toss slants to open receivers, watch them get tons of YAC then destroy everyone in the 4th quarter because they hadn't broken a sweat yet.
@@choosecarefully408 You discredited his entire career whereas the actual pros have nothing but respect for him. Spin it how you want, you wanted to discredit his greatness because you don't like him. Dudes like you are everywhere lol.
Yeah but the out of context “analytics” department will say a long pass is statistically best (because they don’t actually understand how statistics work) and thus force their QB to never consider the dump off play.
The Eagles were completely incompetent at picking up things as simple as a 5 man blitz. Perhaps Kurt could do a video on QB and route adjustments to blitz packages
The problem was just like the Ravens they did not RUN the ball enough & get QB under center & then from there have the RB PRESS the LOS holding the LB's... expand to delays, options, screens & play action boots & you flip the script on the pass rush by throwing into their teeth & rendering them OVERPURSUERS that are a day late & a dollar short... so it wasn't on the WR breaking off ROUTES Or lack of a HOT read & outlet >>> it was a FAILURE to have the proper OFF approach for post season play that made Hurts rush capability an asset & tired/slowed the DEF Pass Rush with better & more PATIENT OCoord play calling... chaos is never sustainable so you really need to have a gameplan not a just play backyard football approach >>> that is what killed wilson's game without the LOB he became exposed as a QB who NEVER makes a READ & NEVER follows a progression- he simply is incapable of running a play as designed so if you take away the sidelines & deep ball & then have a contain 1st sack 2nd pash rush plan wilson has NO ANSWER- bcuz all he does is scramble & hope for the best... he has ZERO intermediate game & will not throw the ball to open WR all over the place... so after week 5 HC had to SIMPLIFY the playbook for him & then what happened- everyone said that Payton was calling crappy plays setting wilson up to fail just like they used to say that caroll wouldn't let wilson cook... boatload of BS... so especially with LaMar & Hurts [and Fields]... when you get to the playoffs with a R/O...RPO type QB you MUST NOT fall into the temptation of putting the load on your guy- you must set him up to succeed by having him HELP HIS RB out by getting under center & being patient- set your guy up to succeed by having his RUSH ability be a THREAT that freezes the DEF & gives you that second advantage... if you just have your guy in shotgun with one read & then GO... he will get shut down as you saw... the BEST RPO guys are the ones that can play from the pocket & then MULTIPLY that play with the RPO threat after the RUSH is established tiring out the LB's & making them work frustrating them with the PRESSING of the LOS, screens & delays... when they continually get home only to be LATE & the play is made behind them they are in an OVER PURSUIT situ & that causes them to hesitate >>> add in the QB option THEN & the Pass Rush has ZERO effect on the gameplan... both the Eagles & ravens relied TOO MUCH on their STAR QB being the star... in the playoffs if you make 1 guy = the guy any DEF can take that away! Admittedly the eagles prob were not as guilty as the ravens in the OFF gameplan but still BOTH showed the SAME >>> fail>>> we have yet to see a RPO QB win a Title! CK was the closest to do so but sherman got the HC fired & he went to mich won a Title & is now back as the Chargers HC- that was the closest a RPO QB has been to winning the SB... the guys that win are POCKET PASSERS 1st & the RPO 2nd... that way it is just like any other team UNTIL IT ISN'T >>> in those FEW unforced moments those off schedule plays can make all the difference in a TOUGH SB game!
Really cool breakdown. This seems like the kind of passing offense 101 video every OC should review at all levels to decide what kind of passing offense they want to run. And also, I love how your preference seems to require more decision making before and right after the snap, but that’s fun and good because it probably leads to more success/ more chunk plays. Great breakdown of the pluses and minuses. I would love to have a current NFL coach (or recent coach) break down how their offense uses or doesn’t use these concepts and why (even if it’s one they use to run 5 years ago to not tip anything to their opponents).
Every OC at every level knows this. It’s the fans who watch ball on TV and all these content creators who talk like they know what they are breaking down. YES, every OC from high school , college and NFL knows this
@@travisoshea yes they know the concepts. But do they understand the true pluses Kurt is getting at. He makes a very strong case. Unless people are trying to protect their qb decision making right before and after the snap. But good point.
@@Ray-dl5mp I’d argue that yea they do. Well, I’ve been around some excellent coaches and not such good coaches but, for the most part yea they do. I truly think Kurt is putting this out there for the fans more so than the coaches who are watching. Could be wrong, maybe he’s doing it for everyone lol
@@travisoshea true true. I’m definitely naive and just putting a view point out there in case it matters. I hope all coaches get it like you say. And even if they do get it, perhaps this is a good reminder where the advantages truly are. I think it’s possible this might push more OC’s to change how they do things. Anything is possible. Either way, I love watching the breakdowns. Really shows why football is an incredible game. A lot of baseball, hockey, and basketball is reacting. Football is too, but just seems to have an extra layer or 2 to the game. It’s beautiful and violent at the same time. Ha
@@Ray-dl5mp no yea you are right. I may have come sounding harsh in my original comment or would be very disappointed if someone was coaching kids and didn’t know this hahaha But you are right it’s never bad to get some good refreshers and also maybe learn something new.

Kurt Warner just showed why and how almost every (losing) team in the playoffs missed open receivers. Pure progression wastes the backside of plays. Pure progression takes too long to get to the 4th or 5th read.
What an amazing time to be a young kid dreaming of being a QB and be able to learn from a 2-time MVP and Super Bowl winner for FREE
Too bad most are just wasting time on tictok or Instagram...😢😢😢
