Not even close to that. Sills has 2 years of WR experience and put up 33 TDs during that span. Scouts are concerned about his frame at the next level, as well as his lack of experience. He doesn't have top end speed, but he is very crafty as a WR and has a knack for getting open in the sense he positions his body at a high end level. He's got a Stevie Johnson/Chris Hogan quality to him, though I'd argue better athleticism and hands than both. I think he makes the 53 man roster and makes a nice redzone impact out of the gate. He doesn't have strength to block or beat press in the NFL right now.

Here's Nate Geary's write-up on him: Mechanics and decision making are the two big points he makes: https://www.cover1.net/nate-geary-top-five-qbs-5-tyree-jackson-2019-nfl-draft/ I think it would be reasonable to guess that Jackson hasn't had a lot of quality coaching in his life. His physical abilities probably allowed him to play so far above everyone else at his level, that it wasn't required in HS, and given he played in the MAC, it may not have been available to him in college. The decision making part increases the possibility that he struggled on the whiteboard. If he did get the quality coaching, that means he wasn't able to incorporate it, which is another red flag.

What's in the games that provides the answer? That's what he wants to know. Just drop the attitude and provide the information if you have it.

And Favre, Aikman, Elway, Eli, and Otto Graham. If I didn't let the kids have their fun, they'd have no fun at all. He's looking for information on a detailed level what separates them as prospects because they're very similar on paper. A lot of people with '17' avatars can't seem to grasp that.

Was it Drew Brees or Russel Wilson, I don't remember. God, no one is saying that. Read slower, it'll do wonders.

They can, but NFL teams are risk averse and most of the best coaches work in the NFL, so they aren't available for private tutelage. I'm sure that Jordan Palmer is good at what he does, but is he the best? This thread is only pointless for people without reading comprehension that took it as "Ermergerd, He's saying Jackson is as good as Allen!" That's not the point of the post at all. The actual point, which is 2 QBs with the same athletic abilities and similar stats go to the NFL. One never wins in college in a weak conference but gets drafted 7th overall and the other wins a ton in a weak conference but goes undrafted. If those things don't make up the difference, what does? It's not arm talent, speed, size, strength, or winning - which are all things people commonly consider when drafting QBs.

That's probably the easiest thing to fix if a player cares enough. The good at football bit is the hard part to nail down.

I heard the same thing from him when he was cut by clemson and then got another shot at Ole Miss.. We'll see if he can lay off the powder once he gets some money again.

I guess he was working with Jordan Palmer on that. Palmer said good progress but still work to do, meaning probably quite a bit. You dont change things like that overnight.

Yea, numbers are for nerds. Facts just get in the way of the tried and true ol' eyeball test.

Despite everyone giving you a hard time, this is a really interesting question. Oftentimes, I think a lot of situations of players getting a shot comes down to right place right time. How a team with a vet near the end of his prime, say Pittsburgh or the Chargers wouldn't bring this kid in and just have a coahc work with him to the side all season is beyond me. If it's allowed, I'd hire a guy on staff specifically to coach this kid to be a pro over the next couple of years just breaking down mechanics, watching tape and running drills. No one ever seems to do that though. In a league that only ever seems to have 15 competent QBs at a time, you'd think they'd invest more in development.

Barkley may.

Don't watch videos with sound and no headphones, man. Slacking 101

I don't think he's a very similar player. Kupp was a YAC machine. Despite the similar frame, Sills is more of a jump ball specialist with really good body control. He'll be the classic "he's open when he's covered" kind of guy if everything works out.

No problem with that. I think it's a great idea to grab everyone you can at a position of need and see who rises to the top.

He's a UDFA, so I won't hit him too hard, but if those are his highlights, he doesn't really seem to do anything that jumps off the page. Seems to accelerate slowly after catching the ball, doesn't have much wiggle, don't see much burst anywhere, and most of the passes are in his hands, which isn't his fault but doesn't showcase much. He doesn't seem to have the ability to break tackles either, so more of a catch and go down possession guy.

I'm a bit meh on this.

I also think there's a high chance he's a surprise cut this season.

I love the way Sills positions himself for catches. He seems to have a real knack for going up and getting the football.

This is so sick. We can be allies for a day.

How are they not signing David Sills?

My only reason for it is to have good pass blockers on the ends when we have to play against very tough ones. If Ford is a better pass blocker than people say, then do whatever. Dawkins was our best lineman last year on a bad squad, and the season before he made Glenn expendable. I think there's more evidence that the kid is good enough than evidence he isn't.

Thanks for your contribution.

Our Defense under Rex was overall more talented up top. Far better D line, slightly better LBs (so far), Better top 2 CBs, worse safeties, but probably worse depth overall. Our offensive line was better (so far), our WRs were markedly better, TE's are unknown at this point (push), RB's were far better, QB is a push (so far)
