Elite 11 Day 2

 

RT : "So the QBs are throwing 55 yards at a target, dropped back to the 35 and hit the End line, 75 yards"

S/O to Shane Morris () - winner of the Day 2 Golden Gun Accuracy Challenge  



Asiantii Woulard and Shane Morris showed a lot today . Woulard battled thru groin to have great day and Shane passed Dilfer's test

Just a couple of tweets showing how it went.
I wonder what Dilfer's test was, though.

I guess this goes with pocket presence, but everyone has praised his footwork.  It is good to know that he already has great footwork because people always say it starts with the base.

Brady Hoke and Nick Saban were both excellent football players, right?  That must be the only reason they became good football coaches.

Dilfer made it to the NFL, was a first round pick, and won the Super Bowl, regardless of whether you think he was talented or not.  

It takes a team to win a championship, and Dilfer was just as much a part of that team as anyone else.

Your first paragraph is really all you needed. I don't remember Bill Belichick winning the Super Bowl as a player. Hell, Harbaugh was an average NFL QB but it looks like he's a pretty good coach. Why does Dilfer need to be a great QB to be a great QB coach?

Morepete, if i'm a high school QB, or a college QB for that matter, I might take the advice of a guy like Trent Dilfer. It's not like Trent is an Al Bundy who relives his days as a high school star and disappeared into obscurity, nor is he a guy who sits at his computer and picks apart the careers of people who make a living doing, and later analyzing, what armchair computer man only dreams he did.

Nowhere in either of those definitions does it say that a coach has to be paid. He's providing insight and instruction to the young men at the Elite 11 camp this week...pretty sure some of the guys that go through the camp under his instruction will turn into servicable NFL players...but you would probably suggest that it was due in no part to his guidance, right?

Yeah, you're going a little overboard on the Dilfer hate here. If you don't like him as an ESPN analyst, that's fine. But that's not what does with Elite 11. Here he is a coach, and talent evaluator. You bringing up his playing career is irrelevant and sounds like you're just grasping at a reason to say you don't like him.

Fine, say you don't like him. You don't even need to say why. But to argue with people here about why you think Dilfer sucks is pretty asinine.

How did you gather that I think all of Shane's accomplishments should be credited to Dilfer? I said that he will undoubtedly be coach players at this camp that turn into servicable NFL players. In no way did I state that Shane's success will be the result of Dilfer. My point was that he IS COACHING right now, at this clinic. Like it or not, youre way off base here, bro.

OK - that wasn't supposed to be a dig on Harbaugh, he had a solid career and a couple very good years.  My point was more that you don't have to be a hall of famer as a player to be a very good coach. 

Maybe an average starting QB?  Being a starter for that many years means you're above average already, but compared to the rest of the NFL starters while he played, he was probably middle third.

Shane reminds me of Kyle Boller right now. I remember when Kyle was coming out of high school, I thought he had everything. That same big arm, velocity, good head on his shoulders, and above average speed and technique. Kyle, obviously, didn't pan out in the NFL, but was still a very good college QB. Shane understands the game more at this point in his career, but the comparison is pretty fair at this juncture. This is not a negative comparison, and if people think that, they'll only see Kyle's NFL career.

It's a good comparison for right now, but we won't know the real answer for a few years.  I read that at Cal, Tedford only had him read half the field to simplify things.  For all we know, Shane could be much better at reading defenses and anticipiting throws.  Hopefully he's a hybrid of Boller and Bernie Kosar.
