The solo film watching for Caleb Williams was shocking to me. And if your QB prep isn't next level, find out what Minnesota does and just copy that.
I recently watched something on Baker Mayfield. He really wasn't that bad in Cleveland...or Carolina. Carolina actually had Baker Mayfield AND Sam Darnold at the same time and decided neither was good enough. Daniel Jones leads the NFL in QBR, Darnold is second.
I just think there are teams in the NFL who don't have a clue what they're doing when it comes to developing QBs.
When talents like Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold are playing well, they just look the way a NFL QB should look as far as passing a football. Big, talented guys with great arms. They have touch, they layer, etc. Now there's much more to the position than that and both of those guys obviously have had serious issues in their pasts with much to prove in crunch time moving forward, but you can admire their skills when on. I never thought Mayfield was ever anywhere close to being as bad as he was being portrayed by the media back in the day and he's proven that he belongs.
Having said that, I don't think you can take any and every QB coming into the league and make them stars with great coaching. There are personal, unique intangibles that will help or hinder them even in the best circumstances. But no doubt some teams train QBs better than others.
