"I do not believe quarterbacks - starters - are nearly good enough handling protections, changing protections and figuring out pressures to protect themselves." – Dan Orlovsky An avg. of 11 QBs run the table from start to finish since 2021. Backup QBs are more important than ever.

@MoveTheSticks @danorlovsky7 But wouldn’t you agree that Defenses are more complex now?

@danorlovsky7 Dan's protection was to run out of the back of the endzone

@danorlovsky7 1. Are running backs that can’t pick up blitzes partly to blame? 2. Don’t some offenses have no ‘hot’ read? 3. How many TE’s are trying to block killer edge rushers?

@MoveTheSticks @danorlovsky7 This is why teams are keeping 4. Rather have an extra guy in house who's been studying the playbook and getting some reps. Hard to throw a practice squad player/free agent off the street into the playbook 5 days before a game

@danorlovsky7 Nobody cares about Dan Orlovsky's opinion. Please stop collectively putting this numbskull on our feeds. Nobody wants this.

@danorlovsky7 how much of this is due to potentially more creepers and sim pressures in today's NFL compared to years prior? more teams using them vs a handful back in the day?

Dan Orlovsky was dead ass wrong for implying that Jalen Hurts isn’t “what it should look like” at the quarterback position. The main issue with Dan Orlovsky saying Justin Herbert is what it should look like at QB isn’t about Herbert’s talent as a player or that he doesn’t have any playoff wins. The main issue is that the QB position has changed from what it used to be. It’s not just about playing from the pocket and being 6’4 anymore. That’s not the prototype now. Dan’s view of QBs is outdated for the game today and it’s a disservice to the QBs getting it done in more than 1 way at every level of football, the Coaches who coach them and the fans consuming the content. Playing from the pocket will always be a staple of playing the position, but it is no longer the only blueprint for success. More than 20 of the 32 starting QBs in the NFL are dual threat or mobile QBs. The last 5 Super Bowls have been one by dual threat or mobile QBs. The analysis of the position has to change as the position changes. Jalen Hurts is what it should look like playing QB in today’s game. He is smart, cerebral and effective with his arm and legs. So is Brock Purdy, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Caleb Willams and many other QBs who do it in all kinds of ways and many different measurables. As former colleagues, I know Dan works hard at his craft, but this take and opinion is so bad it’s impossible to defend. Even when you try to defend it, it sounds bad. The fans need more analysis about that QB play dynamic change and less about how a Super Champ and Super Bowl MVP who has set multiple NFL records in the pass and run game isn’t what “it should look like” to play QB. #FlyEaglesFly #NFL #Eagles #OuttaPocket #RG3 #TheHuddle
