QB Development

[Dave Hansen]

I just mortgaged the farm and traded up in the draft for the #1 pick overall.

I selected a QB rated 6.8/7.7 that scored blue in the 40...red in sole/agility/strength...black in the bjump.

His Pspec was 85 and the scout said he was only 6% developed.

And the interview revealed he was "Very Under Rated" !!!

I have one of the top 5 QB's in the league with 3 years to go on his contract, so I have time to develop the new kid...barring injuries.

My OC is rated Excellent for QB's and Good for young talent.

Pre-TC was rated 11/60 with 7 forms...post TC he was 12/67 with 9 formations learned. I had allocated 2 hours and 30 minutes in the TC schedule for film study.

After the exhibition season he was at 13/67.

My Scout is rated Good for QB's and Excellent for young talent.

The previous year the #1 player was a QB. Now at the beginning of his second year he is rated at 59/88. Looking at this guy, I wonder if my rookie has decent chance in becoming say a 75/75 player down the road???

+7 in his first training camp and VU? He'll probably creep up into the 80s, and maybe even 90s. Make sure he has a mentor, and watch him go.

Is my OC going to be okay in his development with only "good" for YT?

Is 2 hours and 30 minutes for Film Study in future TCs OK?

I assume the more PT I give him behind my veteran QB will help speed his development. Does PT in the post season play a larger role?

I have read all your postings on this board about player development, recruiting VUR/UR rookies, etc.:D

With your previous insights, I took the leap of faith on this guy by giving up 3 first rounders and 1 second round pick to move up from number 30 to number 1 for this guy. I had to think long and hard on this strategic decision...but when I saw this guy on the board and he was very underrated.....
