I disagree with you. Love was horrendous the first half of last season and the season before that. And that was after he sat behind rodgers for a significant amount of time. I was convinced he’d never turn it around. And now that I’m seeing mayfield and geno have such amazing turnarounds, it seems pretty clear that they need more time to develop. We’re seeing that a bit with Darnold. The sink or swim mentality isn’t effective and it can take a long time for a QB to build back their confidence. Research also shows that people enter flow states more often when the tasks they are doing have a good amount of challenge. But when the challenge is too high, it actually becomes detrimental. We are seeing that with Caleb now. Athletes need to enter flow state because there is too much information to process. And everything comes at you faster at the pro levels. Practice reps, preseason play time, and garbage time snaps can help with that. Over time they can work their way up. Even Mahomes sat a year behind Alex Smith. Brady sat for a while. Those are the two greatest QBs ever.


Bryce Young is a good example. He was actually getting worse compared to last year even though he had better weapons and a stronger o line.
