The Impact and Importance of Offensive Schemes for QBs

by Derrick Klassen

People are often under the misconception that any QB (or any player, for that matter) can play and succeed in any offensive scheme. Well, think about it this way: Can you fit a square peg into a round hole?

NFL Draft Player Profile: Brett Hundley of UCLA

We are all aware that the 2014 class of QBs is absolutely loaded. Brett Hundley is a big time contributor as to why this specific class is being hyped up. Last season, Hundley lead UCLA to the PAC-12 Championship game as a True Freshman.If I had to select one of last season's Freshman QBs to be the future of my franchise, I'd take Hundley in a heart beat and never look back.

Hundley measures in at a solid 6'3" and about 220 Lbs. While 6'3" isn't amazing height, it's certainly not a liability and 220 Lbs. is a perfect weight matched with his height. In terms of his mechanics, his throwing motion is a bit wide and when he goes to throw the deep ball, he has to wind up for it. That wind up time will allow the DB to catch up almost every time. Although, Hundley assesses the entire field before making throws and waits for plays to develop correctly, as opposed to pre-maturely forcing passes. Although, when under pressure, he doesn't have quick reactions to evade an oncoming pass rusher. Hundley won't evade the immediate pass rush threats, but if he notices the pocket collapsing, he is a threat to run for a huge gain.

Barr has a quick twitch and explodes from the line off scrimmage. Offensive Lineman struggle to hold him at bay due to his ability to utilize his hands well and shed blocks. Most Offensive Lineman also have a problem with him around the edge. Not only does Barr burst off the line of scrimmage, he is also rather fast. Barr dominates when he bends the edge due to his graceful balance and quickness.
