Over the years we've seen so many guys like Mac Jones who were excellent college QBs at the college level but overwhelmed by the speed and complexity at the NFL level. Mac Jones works hard and has skills, but he's just overwhelmed. My guess is that he's destined for a career as a coach.
Zappe hasn't seemed like he's added a lot of arm strength this offseason. Some of those throws have been pretty weak. I know he worked a lot on his arm motion throwing around guys, but definitely doesn't look much stronger, which is disappointing.
Depends on the context. I think the film looking at how guys handle adverse situations is a good barometer. Albeit, to your point, a lot of the easy throws those guys get isn't necessarily going to tell us much.
I think poise and decision making, both under normal circumstances and under pressure, are the most important aspects of a QB, assuming a baseline level of arm strength and accuracy. There are some circumstances where you can judge that, but often times you can’t with the big programs because of the talent discrepancy versus the other team and the talented teammates. Doesn’t mean the player doesn’t have it, but you can’t tell by the games. Interestingly, Brady is one of the guys who actually had a lot of it in his tape, due to his platoon situation, coming when losing, and his good but not super-elite college team.
