TT on Hundley: It wasn't really planned. It's just something that happened. We thought it was an opportunity to do something

[Carolina_Packer]

Our last QB named Brett had a pretty solid career.

Thanks for the deep insight, Ted.

This guy will be a future 2nd rounder for us.

This guy will be a future 2nd rounder for us.

Will he be better than Brunell and Brooks? Only Hasselbeck commanded a top pick so far (REYNOLDS!)

[SkinBasket]

Who would hear this guy's name and think he's black?

Not going to lie, I don't see it with this guy. Awesome physical tools and doesn't shit his pants in the pocket but he takes forever to make his reads. Towards the end of the season you just seem him make one read and take off or decide where the balls going before the snap.

Shitty line and getting beat up will do that. Maybe he won't overcome that but it seems to me that you can coach/drill that out of him.

Great writeup of the top four QBs, that includes Hundley. There is a GIF of him being very patient in the pocket and going to the correct read with a blitz on. He is also 2 seconds too late and gets picked when it should have been an easy reception.

Brohm never could speed up his mental clock so nothing's guaranteed.

[esoxx]

Nor could Vince Young.

[George Cumby]

Thanks for the deep insight, Ted.

I'd like to play some poker with the man.

I'd like to play some poker with the man.

I'd spot him $5000 and take 20% of the return

UCLA had a progression read offense according to his college QB coach.

Mazzone refutes the notion that Hundley didn't handle multiple reads in UCLA's offense. He said there is a "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" progression with every pass play and that Hundley made quick, effective decisions.

His tip is that Hundley has to be more willing to throw into tighter windows.

Longer quote about the UCLA offense from JSO story above, if you want to get slightly irrational, you can see teams passing on talent because they aren't comfortable with the college offense. However, its also clear that the UCLA offense is more Seattle in terms of progressions than West Coast Offense.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/303029201.html

On the criticism that he didn't go through progressions in UCLA's offense... “Our offense is based off progressions. You do go through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 through every passing play we have. The ball comes out quick in our offense, which is great, because in the NFL you can’t hang onto the ball very long. So with his quick delivery with his quick decisions he’s made throughout his whole career, I think he’ll do just fine in any NFL system he runs.

“And watching that first Seattle/Green Bay game, Russell Wilson ran the zone read to the left, the outside receiver fake-blocked, went down the field and Russell threw it — Brett has run that play his whole career. He did it against Utah his sophomore year. So it’s kind of funny. They’re talking about how amazing that scheme was and I’m like, ‘We’ve been running that for four years now. It’s funny watching the NFL, and them taking ideas from college football, and it seems like, oh, that’s the first time it’s ever been shown. No, we do that every day.”

The difference between his college and pro offenses? Pre snap reads were the most important reads he made in college.

On other plays Hundley ran in college that could transfer... “I remember what the Dallas game and they’re in 2-back sets, and a couple times you see Aaron flip his feet real quick and throw a quick out to Randall. It’s like, man, Aaron makes these quick accurate throws and quick decisions and throughout Brett’s career that’s what he does for a living. Setting his feet and seeing, just by alignment, just horizontally who we have out flanked, that’s the whole offense we ran. So if you’re looking for a guy who can see the weakness of a defense on the second level to the third level, he sees it on every down. It’s not a huddle offense that runs the ball a lot that breaks the huddle, goes to the line of scrimmage, hands the ball off. We’re constantly looking for that defender that we cannot block as an O-Line. Brett’s awareness for knowing what the O-Line can’t handle, he did that every down on a run play, on a pass play.
