Believe it or not Nassib scored the highest wonderlic on the Gmen...41....Eli 39.....our newbie Freeman 27.....
In comparison Payton 28, Marino and Bradshaw a 15....Brady a 33...Vince Young a 6 lol
Not an exact science for QB success but intersesting
Neither does running for your life every time you snap the ball behind an utterly pathetic offensive line.
Nobody on this board knows anything at all about Nassib. What he is or what he will be.
Bench Eli. Start Lorenzen.
That's not/never has been the concern with him, although he does need to improve on his "touch passes" instead of throwing a 90 mph fastball everytime.
His issue is moving from an uptempo offense at Cuse to more of a pro offense with more play action, reading coverages, and going through his progressions.
Speaking of McInally's perfect 50...
is more likely to be seen this summer than last summer. Only an idiot would disagree
I don't think it could reasonably be called an inexact science.
Reese made a needless trade up for am guy who as it seems now most likely may never take a live snap for them in a regular season game.

Wasting multiple picks and a roster spot will be his legacy.
What part of "period" did you not understand?

That is any interesting thing you said about an uptempo offense. If I recall, McAdoo did describe a more uptempo offense. I think the pickup of Freeman is not a reflexion of Nassib at all. This is somewhat of another new offensive system Nassib may have to learn in the McAdoo system,but Nassib may fit better in the new system.
I said he was not a top tier talent. That's my opinion and the opinion of every GM in the NFL as he went in the 4th round. I define top tier talent as a 1st round pick. Maybe a 2nd.
I did not say he wouldn't be able to make it in the NFL or not but considering he was beaten out by Painter I would suggest that proves my point.
Please show me where I stated emphatically where I thought his career was going because I reread my statement and missed it.

End of story??? The guy has been in the leage for 1 whole season. That story is not even close to ending. We have no idea what he will or will not be yet.

Every GM in the NFL thought Brady was not a top tier talent as well.
Marc Bulger, yeah that guy sucked.
Kurt Warner - total loser.
Matt Hasselbeck - worthless.
Trent Green - wasted 8th round draft pick
Mark Brunell - meh.
Wouldnt want any of those guys backing up Eli.
But then we have winners, true top tier talent like, oh...
Tim Tebow
Mark Sanchez
JaMarcus Russell
Matt Leinart
Akili Smith
Ryan Leaf
in the first round
Q: You said that you have been trying to develop a young quarterback for years and you actively moved up to get this guy…
Reese: Well, the value was there. He was just too much value. To be honest, we thought the kid would probably get picked in the second round over there and we over here in the fourth round and he’s still on the board so it just makes sense for us to take the value.

My mistake. I misunderstood your point.

No problem, I just think because of a lot of pre draft hype people think the Giants got some huge steal. Heck half the first round QBs fail if not more. Draft pick made no sense at the time and less now.
Fun Quiz....I scored a 42 and have never played football in my life but I'm decent in math.
Speaking of McInally's perfect 50...
Quote:
McInally says then-New York Giants general manager George Young told him that his high score probably spooked a few teams: "He told me, 'That may have cost you a few rounds in the draft because we don't like extremes. We don't want them too dumb and we sure as hell don't want them too smart.' "
What's the issue with being too smart?
I suspect that Owners, GMs and Coaches don't like to have players that are smarter then themselves.
The guy has played 14 seconds in the NFL and everyone slams the pick. He may be a flop and he may turn out to be OK. But defining the team's drafting abilities and also Nassib's abilities at this point based on his being picked in the 4th round or on his demonstrated, limited play at this point is stupid with a capital fuck you.
Is it the cheap whiskey?

He's not even a Ryan Fitzpatrick (48); but he's plenty smart. I have no idea whether he can play.

Generally speaking, very intelligent/bright people tend to approach problem solving very analytically - deconstructing the problem and solving it a piece at a time, planning all their moves well in advance, exercising a great deal of control through the entire process.
In a game as fast-paced and dynamic as football, this is not a good thing. You simply don't have time to solve problems that way during a course of a game and a play. You need to operate instinctively and intuitively - and not let your inner professor get in the way. And it's a not easy for excessively intelligent people to flip the switch and go from one mode of thinking to another.
go out and stand there with your arm stretched out, staring down way about 40 yards, while that big 320lb guy over there runs at you and tries to kill you, but don't mind him, just throw this oblong ball, and focus reeeaaly hard, cause the guy who catches it will be running all zig zaggy

This could be the biggest load of crap I have ever read on this site. Congratulations because its not easy to earn such an honor on BBI...

It's what I said in my earlier comment: coaches don't like people questioning their authority/instructions and really smart people tend to question things more (especially if they believe they are smarter than the coaches who are instructing them).
