Training Camp Thread

[The What?]

Just listening to NFL network saying that NO ONE is really impressing, Larry isn't happy and neither is the staff.

Basically they both still suck.

Maybe Whiz will step up and adjust his marvelous system to help with the players he has?

People didn't actually think these 2 backup qbs were going to be better just because there was an off season, did they? Really sux because we have the talent to win and a fan base that is growing every year, but we dont have a qb worth a $*@!
.here we go defense here we go.

Bingo.

Sorry, but no it doesn't. 2 ints are 2 ints.

Glad i said that before we even drafted this year... and that if no one of both get it done we draft a QB high next year ;) :( *sad*

I am on my way home now
after watching yesterday and today. Its really seeming like the same story from last year. Skelton is great reading the field and finding plays but is not accurate. Kolb has accuracy and velocity but never knows what to do or what's going on.

This is probably the most accurate description of the two QB's, very well said.

You cant teach accuracy, it's the hallmark of all the very good QB's in this league. If Kolb can get settled into the pocket and be a bit more composed he could be real good for us. Perhaps learning the system and getting a bit better protection will greatly enhance this.

The match ups I want to see
Fitz and Toller/Gay
Floyd and Peterson
I want to say Massie and Docket but since its training camp that won't show much.

I think the hype of the Qb competition is overblown for training camp. But I do remember Kolb struggling in the red zone practices last year and I think that will be key to showing how he has progressed. Both Kolb and Skelton had a difficult time recognizing blitz schemes and seeing how they have improved there will be another important thing to watch out for.

Did Kolb even practice last year before he started to play??

He only had a practise or two before the first preseason game against the Raiders. He actually played quite well in it.

come on, the real "off season" has just started. Sure, it's something to talk about, but I wouldn't put a gun to my head just yet.

But you could ask, "if both QBs suck, who do you go with?". Both sucked last year but Skelton could at least play in the 4th quarter like his life depended on it. They almost won an entire game in the 4th quarter alone(Bangles). So if this scenario plays out, then I'd go with Skelton for sure.

I would hate to be in the trenches with any of you nervous nellies. This was a scrimmage after 3 days of practice. We haven't even played a preseason game. Relax! This is why you practice.

Also, let's not take anything away from the They clearly had a better day.

Does anyone realize that in a typical off season, before camps, QB's really only work out, and throw some balls? Most QB activity they are doing is 3-5 step drops and throw it. They really need the real camps and drills to get everything down.
