Zach got better but he definitely benefitted from the subpar schedule and a better surrounding cast. This combination is why he was able to increase his draft stock.

Good for him I say. He made the most of a tough situation.

FOMO!!!

2 things that my untrained eye noticed

Do you think training with JoBeck helped with the decision making?

wilsdad

IMO this was his biggest weakness going into this season. That concern also disappeared quickly

Yes

I think having the same OC and same system for 3 years made a huge difference

I wonder if Mangum could have been pretty good with the right coaching and if he

He would have been better if he was in the right offense and stayed there.

He had Detmer for two years

Right, but with his greyshirt he was in the program for 5 years, and the OL was

His greyshirt was pre mission and I don’t really think who was the coach was a

Either way, coaching instability and injuries were a huge problem for him. Not

As part of your two things, Beck said he reads defenses better than

Taysom had so many injuries

Yeah, his off-season focus was always getting healthy

Coop

And he appears to have taken a leap as a passer since college too

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 8:50am

His passing improved most between 14-15 I thought

1/27/21 11:10am

He had no time to prep for 2016 with a new offense

Shoulder surgery helped in 2 ways.

Does anyone know if the injury was similar to Bree’s shoulder injury ?

He had "it" as a freshman. He can just ball out.

His accuracy has been incredible

Confidence and aggressiveness. Slinging the ball. Arm talent and arm angles

He listened to Tony Robbins on all of his long California rides and jumped into

Except he was significantly better this year as evidenced by his NFLstock rising

Can always count on you to show up Sunshine.

Yergensen

How is his NFL stock skyrocketing invalid criteria?

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 1:32pm

At best it's a dependent variable.

Yergensen

1/27/21 2:54pm

I agree that schedule has played a part in showing how good he is

I was thinking of a thumbs up based on your subject line...then I read the body your post. Stick with “Schedule”

Hank Rearden

Certainly, the schedule helped, but even in those games, how many times was

oldrugger

Love Zach, but receivers who don't drop passes helped him big time .

HenderCoug

Zach this season was like he was in HS. Very accurate and throwing down field

SoValleyCOUG

Superior mechanics to those others. Zach can throw off his back foot further and more accurate than the others.

Hank Rearden

1/27/21 12:51pm

He's always had elite accuracy. We saw that his FR season. After that

Ash

He didn't have elite accuracy as a sophomore, although he certainly made

The story is that was due to his injury, which was probably the case.

Ash

This is correct

Living right on and off the field? I understand that is when the magic happens.
