QB Traits
Arm Strength (ARM): Raw arm strength of the Quarterback
Quick Accuracy (QAC): Accuracy in the quick passing game
Middle Of Field Accuracy (MAC): Accuracy over the intermediate to deep middle of the field
Deep Accuracy (DAC): Accuracy on high difficulty, "NFL" throws, deep and outside the numbers
Off Platform Accuracy (OPA): Accuracy while throwing off platform and/or on the move
Release (REL): 1-5 Scale on how swift the Quarterback's release is. 1 being long and slow (Tim Tebow), 5 being compact and fast (Aaron Rodgers).
Early Snap Processing (ESP): How well the Quarterback can execute on well schemed plays to his first read on the play. This considers his ability to recognizing the coverage pre and post snap, to consistently get the ball to the right spot on time when his first read is open, all without putting the ball in harm's way on his first read.
Late Snap Processing (LSP): Ability to react to new information on the fly when the first read is covered up. This includes (but is not limited to) the Quarterback's ability to come off a first read at the appropriate time when covered, to get through his progressions quickly, to see the entire field, difficult throwing windows, and overall make the best possible decisions with the football once the bullets start flying.
Anticipation (ANT): How consistently the Quarterback is willing to anticipate receivers coming open both against tight man coverage and into zone windows. 1 being the Quarterback must see the receiver come open before he pulls the trigger, 3 being solid signs of anticipatory throws were present, 5 being a Quarterback with rare anticipation.
Pocket Presence (PKT): the Quarterback’s Ability to sense pressure, manipulate the pocket and know when & how to use his feet to extend plays both inside & outside the pocket; this includes the Quarterback's ability to know when pressure isn't there and when to stay in a clean pocket or find avenues to reset the pocket against pressure.
Play Extension (PEX): Both the physical and creative ability to extend plays outside of the pocket.
Ball Carrier Creativity (BCC) Running ingenuity of the QB
QB Scheme Fits
Pro Style: Traditional, Pro-style, offense that puts an even heavier emphasis than other systems on the Quarterback's ability to read out defenses and make consistently good decisions with the ball from the pocket.
Spread: "College Style", Quick hitting passing game that uses space and numbers to make reads faster and more simple for the Quarterback while letting playmakers on the outside provide a larger portion of the team's explosive plays. Typically Spread offenses also use the threat of a Quarterback's legs to add to those numbers problems. While decision making is still important, this system places a higher emphasis on pre-snap processing and Quarterback mobility than a Pro-Style system that more frequently asks the Quarterback to process defenses post-snap from the pocket.
Play Action: A modern, "Shanahan", style scheme that utilizes a heavy mixture of wide zone concepts in the run game that set up the use of play action. This system uses the threat of play action and the run game to draw in the defense and simplify reads on the Quarterback which often simplifies his processing requirements. What is required in this system is the arm talent to consistently hit the intermediate to deep part of the field where these play action concepts attack. Mobility and off platform accuracy are also preferred for the heavy use of play action boots that these systems run.

Great video, you had me expecting you were going chalk with Caleb Williams and Drake Maye but you really threw me for a loop with Kedon Slovis QB2! Keep up the good work!
-
Having Spencer Rattler as qb 3 was certainly a surprise but I see the vision
-
I was really surprised that JJ McCarthy ended up as QB 1 for you, but he certainly brings winning experience to whoever drafts him
-
So wild how Trevor Lawrence is being used as a comp now for a prospect, feels like just yesterday watching that top 10 video of that QB class lol
-
My opinion has arrived folks ❗️❗️❗️
-
Great video as always Marcus. One thing. Can you include ages in your evaluation graphics?
-
Marcus you have literally the best timing. Abt to head out on a 5 hour road trip. I only had bootleg to listen to but now you’ve given me this. Thanks man
-
im leaving for the army soon so wont be able to watch the draft this year but im always excited when marcus uploads these kinds of videos
-
I watched Caleb a lot when he was a freshman at OU. What I saw was he just looked like football just came natural to him. If I remember correctly, his senior year in HS was wiped out by COVID, and looked like he barely missed a day. And his game vs Texas is one of my favorite memories as a Sooners fan. He’s gonna be really good in the NFL.
-
Gotta admit Caleb’s highlights are insane
-
Glad to see this content is back. Your 2023 draft class put me on a lot of guys I didn't know like Laporta and tank dell. Lets goooo!
-
lets gooo, these are some of my favorite videos out there
-
Penix lack of pocket presence? Sir, That’s an absurd take. He was great at getting the ball out on time and not taking sacks. How about the game against usc when he threw the td to culp on the move dropping it in a bucket between 2-3 defenders. Polk in the Texas game to set the TD. There’s a highlight reel of these type of plays.
-
I love this specific series of videos you make bro!
-
Dats my dawg ! Been waiting on your top 10s for each position, thanks for the upload gang
-
No better channel to follow for draft season, so excited for the content this year with so many fun players!
-
I am excited. I have been waiting for these videos to start.
-
I am hyped for all your rankings. Your my favorite guide through the draft season.
-
The guy I trust most in player evaluations. Thanks for the hard work you do TFG!

Great evaluations, especially of Bo Nix, who I think would fit really well with the Vikings offense. Nix moves well enough to survive and operate behind MN's average NFL O line. His excellent pre-snap reads and tendency to hit quick passes in defensive soft spots means that JA, JJ and Hock each should get opportunities to get lots of RAC. It would be up to KOC to tell Bo who his first read would be. His B+ passing outside the pocket also bodes well, as does his ability to scramble for first downs. This adds up to a rookie QB that could survive starting on day one. Give him a legit RB1 for play action fakes, and you might just have a very functional system.
