Actual football can be discussed here as well... |

In a recent report done by the Wall Street Journal, there is a |
|
growing sentiment among the NFL coaches and executives that the |
|
once deep pool of quality quarterbacks is drying up. The |
|
reason? Many of those in college aren�t being taught lessons |
|
they will have to learn in the pros. |
|
This year, according to separate interviews with dozens of NFL |
|
coaches and executives, something disturbing happened in these |
|
pre-draft quiz sessions. When asked the same basic questions, |
|
many quarterback prospects responded with something NFL insiders |
|
said they have never seen before: blank stares. |
|
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said the new |
|
crop of college quarterbacks were flummoxed by a simple question |
|
about an �under� front, one of the most common defensive |
|
alignments. �Whoa, no one�s ever told me �front� before,� he |
|
remembers one prospect saying. �No one�s ever talked to me about |
|
reading these defenses.� |
|
This is leading to a general fear that there will be a |
|
significant drop off sooner than later in quality quarterback |
|
play, which can spell big trouble for the league. It means |
|
something may have to change. Either college programs must try |
|
to incorporate more pro-style offenses rather than the rampant |
|
spread attacks so many use. A true reassessment must be made |
|
about the possibility of a minor league where players can be |
|
better prepped for the pro game. |
|
Or the time has come for the NFL to embrace new idea. As in the |
|
men who field them, specifically the coaches. |
|
In some ways the process has already begun with the arrival of |
|
Chip Kelly to the Philadelphia Eagles. His fast-paced attacks |
|
were legendary at Oregon and the scheme is still creating huge |
|
outbursts of yards and points even as the personnel keep |
|
changing. With him setting the trend, could the door be open |
|
for other innovators like him? |

Unbelievable finish to the Denver/KC game. Denver ties the game |
|
on a TD with about 30 ticks left and kicks off to KC who fumbles |
|
on the first play and run in for a TD 31-24 Denver. |
