You are witnessing first hand the “developement” of the two younger QBs.
The process for any position is variable to the position and the player.
Even the “Professional” player can be developed to a better degree, but takes way less than the newer player.
Back to the catching comments of some. You are born with physical traits, but it takes “Developement” of the mental (and physical to a degree), to be better and better. Catching is about 80% mental where even a 2% mental error can erase all the physical born atributes of an athlete.
Antonio Brown continued training in catching the ball (endless use of the Juggs machine) to hone / develop his skills to a better level. He wasn’t just born into great catching, he trained very hard to be a great catcher and did the training at his professional level.
Salute the nation
You mean by giving them playing time in the preseason?
Didn’t Tomlin do the same thing?
Theres got to be more to it than that ….if we are all raving at how good MM is at developing QB’s, and how Mike Tomlin was terrible at it.
I guess it’s what you mean by developing.
I took to mean shaping raw talent.
Raw talent means a natural, unrefined ability to do something well before receiving formal training or practice. [1, 2, 3]
After 8+ years of playing organized football they should have fully developed skills. Developed enough to be called a professional.
They don’t have Juggs machines in college?
The mental aspect occurs at all levels.
A player has already experienced the mental aspect and should be mature enough as a professional to know how to deal with it.
I find it hard to believe that John Stallworth and Lynn Swann had to be developed.
They were born with the ability as was AB.
Assistant pro coaches go from college to pros all the time. What could they possibly bring with them other than what they teach in college?
