Good Read: The Coaching Perspective of the Draft’s Top Quarterbacks

[Plankton]

BERKELEY, Calif. — It was the funniest scene of the pro day circuit.

There was Cal quarterback Jared Goff, tossing a few extra passes at the end of his much ballyhooed workout, and there was Browns quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton spraying water on Goff’s 9 and 1/8-inch hands, doing his best to simulate November conditions in Cleveland on a sunny day in NorCal.

Goff did fine with wet hands, but did it matter? Did he prove anything? The real evaluation happens behind closed doors, in interviews with Cal coach Sonny Dykes and his staff, and phone calls to coaches who worked with Goff and have since departed.

Interesting read, thanks for posting Plankton.

I have to say I immediately thought of Romo when I read the below quote on Wentz:

"He’s got situations that he has to get us out of otherwise I look really bad as a play-caller"

He does so many things that all of the top QB do well but he is his own unique style of player.

It's really difficult to compare Carson Wentz to anyone unless you start combining players.

Awesome info.

It's a good story but they should've also talked to an opposing defensive coordinator or two for balance (or in Wentz's case, whatever adjunct professor "organized" the defense for the community college team Wentz faced that day). They may as well have been interviewing their dads.

No kidding. They are really hyping up the fact that he went against his team's defense in practice, undoubtedly wearing a red "don't hit" jersey? If that's the preparation they are banking on to get him ready for the NFL, then meh.
