Game Managers QB's vs Vertical Offense QB's or are they really just System QB's
(This has a poll but before answering the question, read the OP and the ( GOOD ) old article within the OP..... OK, now read up and wait for the poll, I type slow. )
I am reminded of an old article from 2013 that brings up the question of, Aren't all QB's jusy system QB's. The philosophies used by the likes of Sid Gillman, Ron Erhardt, Ray Perkins, Don Coryell and Bill Walsh, there are three main offensive philosophies used by those coaches. These schemes have been prevalent for most teams around the NFL and you can trace any NFL offense and coach back to one of these three systems. They are The Erhardt-Perkins, "Air" Coryell and the West Coast system. ( article to big to fit in the OP ) https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/...se-chiefs-2013 So I question this, aren't all QB's really just system QB's ? I say, yeah, why not? Very few QB's can fit into any coaches offensive philosophy or scheme. Just think of Bill Belichik, with Tom Brady, many say he is the GOAT? I simply say, he is a system QB. Belichik had Drew Bledsoe, who was having a banner year until he got hurt got with Bill. Hell, even Matt Cassell and Jimmy Garoppolo has proved it was just NE's system that was making Brady look so good. Every NFL team or coach will try to draft, sign a FA QB that best fits their system to simplify and run their offense. Alex Smith is known as a game manager but would he fit in the Air Coryell downfield attacking system as a game manager? You can easily answer, No. Peyton Manning first went to Denver and struggled in the system Fox wanted to run. It wasn't until several games they opened up the offense to run a scheme Manning was comfortable with in Indy. Can you see Manning running the West Coast offense? I do not think he would do too well with it. Some OB's are called Game Managers. Yet aren't they all supposed to be a Game Manager? I say, Yes, they have to manage that game within their system. Oh My, if all QB's are Game Managers within the OC system, then wouldn't they be a System QB. IMHO, being labeled a Game Manager, a System QB or whatever you want to label them is wrong. IMHO, I say each one has to be a game manager within the system of the OC game plan and be the best system QB he can be on that day. So, What say you ? |
