football outsiders post and QB thoughts

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/2006/12/09/ramblings/too-deep-zone/4660/

Their "Too Deep Zone" rambling is excellent once again, with "NFL Matchup" as their focus.

I noticed the question on Vince Young and followed the link of Merril Hoge's anti-V Young stance and just had to say that the Tenn brain trust of Fisher and OC Chow chose Young over Leinart. Leinart at the time was obviously much more familiar w/Chow's "system" and yet they chose Young (due to athletic ability). I believe Young under Chow's tutelage will get better and better and Leinart under D Green and Co will get worse and worse.
Notice that QB Rivers is doing well and was under Chow's system at NC State. Rivers isn't really fleet of foot but is fast enough to give DL and LB problems. Rivers appears to have a solid foundation for the NFL game.

Another QB who has a good feel on what a play is designed for is Matt Schaub. I believe M Vick is the better athlete but his thought process is faulty and OC Knapp needs to reinforce "what is the play designed for" and "reading coverages". Schaub came from VA when Trestman was OC and it shows. (Trestman BTW has an NFL backgound specifically w/"West Coast" and "timing routes" though I dont believe NC State fans will implore to keep him, since Amato has been shown the door. I believe he's a good coach and tutor and will be scooped up quickly by another org) M Vick came from VA Tech where QB's do not have the tutelage to correctly read progression or D's in my mind. VA Tech just recruited better OL and better athletes overall.

Griese comes to mind as well as a capable QB w/Michigan as his background. The conservative approach seems to be more characteristic of his play and very unlike Grossman, though Grossman may be more well liked due to talk, Griese' play is much better and judgin' from reports that he has gotten more rep's in practice we may see Grossman finally get the hook on MNF if STL can come together as a team. That is a big IF due to STL recent play and QB quotes on NFL network, though they may view CHI as the team to beat and thus play "up" for the game, I just don't believe it's likely. There could be the scenario where STL DC Haslett (xNO coach and well known DC prior to HC position) game plans CHI QB Grossman very well and QB Bulger get's a couple of quick scores, but this requires the team to come together, which hasn't occured in the past weeks and I won't hold my breath, I just hope the game is well played... but reality is STL @home is not a winning prop and CHI D even w/o DT T Harris is playing outstanding football.
