RSP Film Room: Cal QB Jared Goff
Inside the Pylon’s Mark Schofield joins the RSP Film Room for a viewing of Jared Goff. I’m fortunate to have a lot of great guests for the RSP Film Room, but Mark Schofield is one of my favorites. The former college QB, former lawyer, and current must-read at Inside the Pylon does fantastic work. If…

RSP Boiler Room No.13: USC QB Cody Kessler, Flow Within Structure

RSP Boiler Room No.12: QB Kevin Hogan, Stanford
Learn why Hogan is the “Ugly Duckling” of this 2016 QB class. I’ve heard a few people tout Kevin Hogan. David Igono is one of them. I finally got to watch the Stanford quarterback and I came away impressed with skills that are difficult to teach. A mix of Philip Rivers and Jim Harbaugh came…

RSP Film Room No.66: Paxton Lynch w/David Igono
Two-thirds of the RSP staff take a deeper look at the Memphis quarterback’s performance in the upset of No.13 Ole Miss. RSP contributor David Igono (@d1gono) was a strong safety for West Virginia and did a stint in the Arena League. As his football career as a player wound down, his passion for the game…

RSP Boiler Room No.11: Paxton Lynch Part III
Two more plays from the Memphis QB’s game versus Ole Miss. These plays are more specific to Lynch as a NFL prospect. I’m having fun watching Paxton Lynch, because there are a ton of discussion points with the quarterback’s game. This is true of many quarterbacks, which is why the position is so tricky to…

RSP Boiler Room No.9 & No.10: Memphis QB Paxton Lynch
Paxton Lynch’s decision-making as a reflection of leadership, and points about decision-making and leadership of most young quarterbacks. All quarterbacks are game managers.

RSP Film Room No.65: QBs Trevone Boykin & Baker Mayfield
Football Gameplan’s Gene Clemons asked for a double feature to compare and contrast two 6-1, 205-ish QBs in similar offenses: TCU’s Trevone Boykin and OU’s Baker Mayfield. I don’t follow college football narratives. I barely know who is competing for the Heisman. I only know Mark Richt got fired by Georgia and hired by Miami…

Joel Stave and The NFL Redshirt
A telltale sign of a good prospect is their demonstration of sound fundamentals that translate directly to the next level. Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave has a firm enough understanding of the quarterback position that he’s an unsung prospect worth keeping tabs on. He exhibits clean, crisp footwork in the pocket. He possesses an aptitude for the intermediate…

Cardale Jones and the Context of Confidence
Like most who study QB play, Cardale Jone fascinates David Igono. So does the role of confidence in performance. Good underclassmen quarterbacks are often intriguing developmental prospects. The little I’ve seen of Ohio State’s Cardale Jones has me fascinated. The upside is clearly there. He has a feel for the game that he hasn’t completely…
