It’s honestly very enlightening listening to a guy like Ryan Leaf talk. A guy who had a lot of self issues during his career and personal life turn everything around and become a great analyst and speaker for a game we all know and love
I noticed that the players who weren't as successful in the pro's in any sport seem to make better analysts.
Seeing Ryan Leaf turn it around gives me hope.
I have new found respect listening to Ryan leaf
100%
I could see Leaf taking over Sunday analyst duties for a couple of game broadcasts. Great presence, and of course, knowledge of the game.
I grew up a charger fan and he was drafted when I was in high school. When he fell off I don't think I ever hated a guy so much. Older me doesn't get why I had so much hate for a guy I never met. But glad he's doing well in his post NFL life.
Man I really love the transparency of Leaf. It's so refreshing. He needs his own show. So many people in media are fake and don't show their true selves. It's so apparent and obvious. Hard to watch that long term. I could watch Leaf long term easy.
I'm glad Ryan Leaf is doing well in life
Me too man
They said Joe Burrow had little hands. We see how much that matters now
Not this little. Burrow is about the minimum, scouts had no real concerns.
He's right. QB is more about brain power and situational judgement skills than anything else.
add accuracy to that list and I don't care about the rest. If you can think clear, read the defense and throw it where you want it I don't care if you got a weak arm or small hands. Drew brees threw a lot of TD's not being able to throw more than 50 yards.
I tell you one thing, Ryan had a CANNON of an arm!!!! The boy could flat out sling!!
I'm so glad to see Ryan Leaf doing well. America loves a good comeback story.
I could listen to Ryan Leaf talk football all day long….
Ryan: “These things don’t matter that much and I am exhibit A”
Jamarcus Russell says hold my beer
Most important traits of a QB isn't wheels or rocket arm but decision making and not giving the ball away
This has been proven false over and over again. What happened with darnold, josh rosen, and baker versus josh allen and lamar
@@vaughanmoore1648 you just negated your own comment by naming guys with turnover and bad decision making. So you proved the statement right.
Just about all of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now have a great arm. Unless you have amazing accuracy like Drew Brees it's really hard to win without one.
Ryan Leaf is an amazing freaking analyst!!!!!
I had really high hopes for Ryan LEaf when he came out..but things happen..hope he's better now and it's good to see him talking football!
The word "bust" comes from The Naked Gun 2 1/2 movie. Where Mimi Du Jour asks Lt. Frank Drebin, "Is this some kind of bust?" To which he responds, "Yes it is very impressive, but we'd just like to ask you a few questions."
Ryan does a great job. It’s nice to see!
He definitely needs his own show.
Not gonna lie - even though I was very young, I remember reading and hearing nothing but negatives about this guy after his pro career started.
Interesting to see him guest hosting this show.
All we need is Jamarcus Russell and Ryan leaf in the same soon
This is good stuff...
i could listen to this dude talk about football and what not to do all day
I’m glad to see Ryan lead alive
This is totally true. What was Tom Brady's combine grade VS Jameis Winston's?
4.78 is amazing for a QB that size
Interesting part about the word origin of 'upset'. If that horserace had turned out different we might be watching specials like "Sports History's 10 Greatest Seabiscuits.
Leaf has a big future in this business.
Ryan is awesome
The wisest people are those who have failed at some time in their life.
Love Ryan Leaf
Since he’s been subbing for Rich, I’ve kinda become a Leafy fan
Tell Kyler Murray and all his fumbles that little hands don't matter.
In the last season the 2 previous he had 5 in total so its the hands or other thing ( mental contract expectation preassure , OL, coaching practicing)
Pickett wears gloves when he plays so lack of hand size is negated.
ryan leaf with massive hands of course doesnt think its a big deal. As a qb with small hands if there was a rain game i was fucked, 5 yard checkdowns and ducks when throwing downfield, its a real thing for teams that play in bad weather
Well he’s played the last 5 years in Pittsburgh
it's small but not that small
@@JRL1999 yep he sure has, and by early december his season is over. In the nfl your playing in Buffalo green bay new England in January with snow and frigid temps, not saying he can't but its a thing
I understand stats do matter... But I have to see a player play
I fuckin love Ryan Leaf
Bust!! Is a word play off the word Buster..
Pickett's lack of hand size is negated by the fact that he wears gloves while playing. I mean unless he has a history of fumbling at Pitt I don't see what the issue here is.
Upset origin: When the team expected to win loses...it makes them "upset"! LOL
Need big hands to be able to hold the ball when it’s damp
Everybody talking about How they proud of Real leaf but it’s been like 15 years! 😂😂😂
Well he was actually having issues as recent as 2018 (I believe, whenever it was it wasn't that long ago). He had a pretty long and winding road to turning his life around.
Teams act like they have not been watching the players actually play the last few years. It comes down to can they actually play
You can’t make it in anything in life without some inherent talent, ability, whatnot. But having those things is absolutely no guarantee that you will make it. The difference is and has always been heart. Call Shane Falco. He’ll tell you what it takes…
Just don't ask Shane Falco about the Sugar Bowl, he had like 5 interceptons in that game.
Sorry I don't want tiny hands, two gloves leading my team outdoors in the cold.
Pickett's hands are really tiny, though. I don't think quarterbacks need huge hands but they DO need to be able to grip the ball. An NFL ball is bigger than what they use in college. You can't have little sausage fingers.
I love Ryan but Jamarcus gotta be the “biggest” bust
Bust is a poker term no?
Blackjack also use it.
I believe so, an abbreviation of "busted flush", an apparently promising hand that comes up empty
Who ever came up with the words "you buster" is the first person to start with..
@@5tubbs814 first time I heard the word bust is from GTA San Andreas
@@rizkyanandita8227 the word "Buster was a ole school word. If someone call you a "Buster" in your face back then, that was grounds to fight.. so the word "Bust" is a play off the word Buster. Both words are meant to be disrespectful..
So what’s the origin of the word bust?
Mental stats often matter the most?
That's something that's known all too well?
And we are to believe... Ryan Leaf about this?
Kenny gonna be getting flamed all day poor bastard
Sorry Ryan, but JaMarcus Russell takes the "BUST" prize. Love to hear Ryan's opinions still! Post their NFL careers, Ryan is not a bust at all, he is a major success. Not so with Russell.
It's almost like ryan leaf should have been picked #2
Jamarcus Russell is the biggest bust
tell that to jared goff…..
I think so, too. When did hand measurements begin??? Brady? Montana? Vick? Has anyone measured all way or Marino??? FFS. This is getting out of hand. 🤣
It probably comes from Blackjack, when you go over 21, you “bust.” It likely just translated over
Everyone calls Leaf the "biggest bust" in NFL history but is he really? He was a very good college QB but I don't recall anyone saying he could be the greatest of all time, or that he was the next Montana, Elway, Marino etc. You didn't get half the hype back then that these kids do now. There have been plenty of exceptional college players that were better than Leaf and were bigger busts, or as big of busts, as Leaf was. I think the media is a little unfair to him at times, but he takes in stride, owns his mistakes and is trying to be the best human being he can be. At the end of the day, that's all anyone can do.
Upset beat Man O'war. It was his only defeat
JaMarcus Russell took that mantle away from Ryan Leaf.
The bust 🙌🏽🙌🏽
The Combine aka The Underwear Olympics
Sorry Ryan Leaf, but Jamarcus Russell is the biggest NFL bust no doubt.
Biggest bust was ur mom circa 1984
@@FGPlus my mom was born in 2005
@@eaglesfan4207 ... TIME TRAVELER!!!!! THE PROOF IS OUT THERE, CALL IN SCULLY AND MULDER!!!!
I'm sorry but is this really the guy that should be telling us what it takes to be a good pro? Lol
Let’s see the kid throw without a glove.
The combine is pointless.
Show me the tape and let me talk to the kids.
Jamarcus Russell was a way bigger bust then you Ryan
I can't believe hand size is viewed as relevant at all in any capacity. Whichever moron determined the size of someone's hand can be quantified and measured in any useful capacity, as it relates to the game of football, should be excommunicated. Granted there are obvious situations like if someone has extremely small hands, but Pickett has normal hands. Literally they are normal for his size.
clearly you dont understand the qb position, hand size is vital, specifically in bad weather cities. If you play in miami or tampa or l.a not so much
he should be banned. period.
