How are so many QBs so completely dogshit at sliding, anyway? Michael Vick got professional coaching and still couldn't do it, IIRC, and while I'm now completely okay with Noted Shithead Carson Wentz charging headfirst into certain danger his inability to slide during his time as an Eagle was super frustrating to watch. I get they may have a mental block against wanting to slide in the first place, but it's not even about that, it's about just sucking rear end at dropping down feet-first.

As someone who grew up playing soccer and rugby its always seemed odd to me how awkward a lot of them look doing it. I wonder if some of it is that QBs are so wrapped in wool from college onwards they don't let them practice it a lot? It's not as if in drills and 7 on 7s and stuff they do theyd be doing it a lot, everyone just pulls up.

When Sanchez was QB, Rex Ryan brought in Joe Girardi to try and teach him to slide because he kept diving headfirst and almost dying.

Joe played baseball into high school I think. I know he played little league.

He also tried electric shock conditioning to teach him to throw the ball away iirc.

Wait, did he make him wear a little shock collar or something during practice and zap him when he didn't do what he was supposed to?

Entirely possible this is a fake memory but like he had a little bracelet or something that would shock him 3 seconds after they snapped the ball in practice.

e: yeah I can't find anything on google, lmao that my brain probably made that poo poo up and I've believed it for almost a decade.

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

I know someone posted it here before, but the odds of it being elaborate fanfiction are high

I kind of hate that this seems like a good idea? I want Daniel Jones to have one

I think if anyone actually tried it it would just make the QB extremely skittish and scared to do anything besides throw it away.

I went and took my dog for a walk. Is there any particular reason why the Broncos didn't challenge the spot on the Ravens 4th down play that was like 3 yards short?

Their defense is good, last drive notwithstanding.

Russ seemed no better than Drew Lock.

I think any neutral third party would take Teddy Bridgewater or Lock from last year over this year's Russ. I don't think it would be a particularly hard decision either.
