...for Caleb turning it around like he has.
I'll give LR this: he's made dudes a lot of NFL money. And NIL money. That ain't nothing.
But Kyler and Caleb's fundamentals and decision-making coming out of college were nowhere close to what is required of a successful NFL QB.
Is some of that just a function of personal maturity. Ok, yes, I'll grant you that.
But KM and CW had a LOT of bad impulses that LR let them express in CFB that did NOT serve them well when they went to the NFL. KM got run out of AZ. CW was a complete mess in s1 with da bears.
KM has grown up and is playing better with MN. but omg, that throwing motion. *barf*. I HATE his "windmill" throwing motion...taking the ball down low by his thigh and THEN coming up and over the top. That motion wastes a split second...which is the difference between being on time with the ball and late. Late ain't great. Unless you're an NFL DB and you get paid $$$ to break up or pick off passes.
Watch Tom Brady throw. That ain't Kyler.
I personally like Baker. He plays with AAAAAAAAnticipation. No QB does more with less raw, physical talent, IMO.
But he's very reckless. With the ball and his body. Is that an LR thing? Probably not. But did LR curb that in any way? I don't think so.
Bottom line...LR has won a lot of games. He's made himself a lot of money. He's made the QBs that have played for him a lot of money. But I think Maiava (sp?) breaks the string. And I think the market is on to LR.
