I know right? Makes it hard for the shorty quarterbacks to see.
Was I the only one that thought Troy Smith last year struggled to see over (actually around linemen) the line and was looking in between players too often?
Troy Smith has Donovan McNabb/Vince Young - itis. Meaning they are cocky pieces of hot trash. If it sounds like I'm picking on black QB's, I am. Too many of them want to go out there and play streetball and that s**t just doesn't work. I worry a little bit about Kap because of this. Here's hoping Big Jim can level his head out.
What exactly do you mean by "streetball"? The ability to scramble when a play breaks down?Does having swagger, or in your words being "cocky", constitute as "streetball"?
no... I think "streetball" means playing football in a non traditional style ie scrambling QB's, incorrect throwing mechanics, etc
I think that style of play(scrambling) ads another dimension, which is a plus imo, that's what helped Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, John Elway, and many others get SB's. In addition, McNabb turned into a pure pocket passer to get rid of the "black qb stigma" and did fairly good, but got rid of that added dimension. Ive seen games where he could have gotten the first, if he wouldve just tucked the ball and ran, but would instead stay and throw from the pocket , only to have his receiver drop it. So i guess what im trying to say is, i dont really care if a quarterback plays "streetball" as long as he gets the "W" and Troy smith did that for us. He actually had as many wins as our non "streetball Qb".
And as far as incorrect throwing mechanics, there are plenty that have succeeded with that "streetball" trait. I think Kaep would fall in the "streetball" category and i hope he has as much success as Vick, McNabb, Vince Young.
