Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Ruud As Hell Edition

Playing in NYC gets him a lot of press, but he’s in the middle tier of game-managing QBs right now.

but last night he really SUCKED!!

but if you go back & look at that game…you’ll see what I’m talking about.

And I say that as a Tebow supporter.

I was floored by what I saw this pre-season. I’m all-in on this kid.

he just had tons of wide open receivers, and easy swing passes. That offense, and the speed they had at WR and TE, were miles ahead of the competition. That’s never going to be the case in the NFL.

Also, Locker has an NFL wind-up and release. Tebow has the longest, slowest throwing motion I’ve ever seen. He spent his entire senior year trying to fix it with no noticeable improvements. It’s a recipe for disaster.

He was playing with some mediocre players on that offense. I remember watching the Washington/USC game and thinking, “man that was some really good ball placement but that guy has hands like Justin Gage.” I never thought Locker had horrendous mechanics, I thought that he would need to be coached up; but not to the extent that Tebow had to be coached up out of college. Tebow would, like SuperHorn and AW said, miss wide open receivers and the talent on that Florida team was lightyears ahead of what they had on Washington. Plus Tebow’s footwork, mechanics, throwing motion, and progressions were lightyears behind what Locker’s were coming out of college.

He’s taken tons of hits in college playing this way. Watching him last night he doesn’t look near as vulnerable as Vick or Vince; running like a ‘fullback’ somewhat helps him in that way.

I’m just fearful that IF it came to a point where Locker was starting and we were just letting him do his thing (like Denver is doing with Tebow), it will lead to that dreaded old habits that we are all fearful of happening with Locker. Not to say I want him to be forced into a box where he struggles trying to be something he’s not, but I also don’t want them just saying, “Go do your thing Jake, doesn’t matter if your footwork and accuracy are not up to par.”

I could handle some sort of early-McNair thing where his mobility is utilized a lot more, however. Ideally Locker becomes Rodgers-like where he can use his mobility to throw the ball downfield and eventually turn into a dominate pocket passer.

Locker or Tebow?

I played in a wing T in high school, if you have any questions, haha.

and they probably would have won 5 Super Bowls if they had a decent all-around defense…

Is it a home game for Philly?

That said, I think you could see a Vick-like resurgence of his career in Philly over the next couple of years if Vick gets injured. Philly is mistakenly lumped in with the West Coast crowd given that Reid is a WC disciple. While there are some WC concepts, the offense lives and dies with the deep ball…Young’s strong point.

Prediction: DeSean Jackson catches at least one deep bomb on Sunday.
