Episode notes
Size Matters For Quarterback Durability
- Colin Cowherd argues the NFL increasingly favors bigger quarterbacks because defenses and season length punish smaller QBs more.
- He connects size to durability and sustained success over a 17-game season plus playoffs.
Completion Percentage Isn't Fatal Early
- Colin notes Caleb Williams' low completion percentage mirrors Josh Allen's second-year numbers but isn't terminal.
- He argues athleticism, coaching, and a strong roster on a rookie contract can mask inaccuracy and drive wins.
Judge Young QBs By Context, Not Raw Accuracy
- Do value roster context and coaching when evaluating young quarterbacks instead of fixating on completion percentage.
- Avoid overreacting to raw accuracy numbers while the QB is on a rookie deal with superior supporting personnel.
