Just FYI--One of the cornerstones of Alabama's offense with Mac Jones was RPOs.

Mac Jones on RPOs in his last season at Alabama: 73-of-78, 890 yards, ten TDs, zero INTs.

The #Patriots began running RPOs last season with Cam, and I don't expect them to go away any time soon. In fact, expect to see even more. https://t.co/ZtqRpuxRdA

I liked Mac, but I'd much rather have Trey now. I don't think the draft process did him justice in highlighting his character and leadership. We've got a special dude in Trey.

College shouldn't be taken into consideration. RPO is a big part of almost every college offense. You don't need to be an elite athlete to run RPO in college. You've had guys like Phillip Rivers doing that.

QUESTION!

Regarding the debate on whether it's better for a player to develop--- is it better to redshirt a year and develop quietly, or have game reps. How has that shaken out in college, where redshirting is a common practice?

There is plenty of evidence for both sides. It simply depends on the individual. Would Rodgers be Rodgers had he not sat? Maybe. Would Alex have been Alex had he sat for a long time? Maybe. What about x, y, z? Simply put--it depends.

A low-light video is no more accurate than a highlight video. Not to mention, a great deal of those (such as the first one) are because of INEXPERIENCE, not physical traits. Almost all the rest (that weren't either bad reads or lack of anticipation) were entirely due to him trying to be "all arm," with bad footwork (and about a third or more of those are due to pressure). As I said, his arm is fine. His problem is that he trusted it too much, and didn't have proper lower body mechanics.

So basically you posted a red herring. Nice try though.

He was bad as a rookie. As I already said, lance was vastly superior as a rookie to Allen. This was being younger with less experience. So, as rookies, lance was the better player.

Lol this has been debated pretty hardcore here. I think it depends. Alex Smith would've been a much better more confident player if he got the Trey treatment. Other guys like Justin Herbert it was an easier transition.

I don't think there is a clear answer here.

It had more to do with the rotating OC and HC we had. Either way, Smith's peak was average.

I'm so freaking excited for this kid. Other than the OL question marks, what an absolutely ideal role to step in to.

This. Watching a FQB grow. He's shown he's exactly what you need to be successful. Now we just need to see it.

Yeah, the lows will be low but I love watching growth and momentum, the highs and lows of development.

That is what made enduring the bad years and our playoff drought possible

Seeing the talent we have and watching it grow is the last refuge of a fan

Gore and Willis and Staley shone real bright next to the dumpster fires they started with

This kid is smart and calm enough to not let the league get into his head.I think he will be a fine pupil of Griese and KS.

One of the main reason's Kyle picked him was because he was fast between the ears. He has a great work ethic and is only 22 years old. His ceiling is off the charts.

You will never know because you'll never have two situations where one rookie QB starts, the other rookie QB waits & all the stuff around them on the two different teams is the same or even a close proximity.
