In this clip Cam adds more context to the comments Tom Brady made about QB development and the quality of coaching available to young QBs. When applied to the Browns' QB room it brings a lot more clarity to what might be happening.
Bill Musgrave is our current QB coach. I can't recall the last time the Browns had a former NFL quarterback as a QB coach. He joined the Browns in 2023, so we know he wasn't brought in for the rookies, but I'm glad the team had enough sense to keep him and name him QB coach after two years as an offensive assistant. We also have heard Deion Sanders speak fondly of Bill from their years playing together in San Francisco.
After watching the video I'm just going to let the Browns cook. If we see Gabriel, fine. If we don't see Sanders, fine. I'm just encouraged that the Browns are showing focus in QB development and seem to have learned from their Baker Mayfield/Deshaun Watson mistake. And hopefully they realize that chasing hyped college QBs isn't going to save the franchise. Building a team and team culture will. I want one of rookie QBs to get experience this year and the two first round picks be used to fortify the offensive line.

I think give it a couple of weeks and Dillon will be their QB.
Nice pod, but he was wrong about Baker.
Kevin O’Connell.
If we aren’t in the playoff hunt and don’t see both of these rookies before going into next year’s draft then it will be a travesty.
Guys I really like Dillon. I’m ga ga for Gabriel… I’m dildo for Dillon
Alex Van Pelt was OC/QB coach for us.
Newton’s right on how learning work. The act of note taking cements information in your brain much more than just listening or reading. If you really want to learn something, take notes.
Learning languages or styles however have proven to be a [predominantly invalid concept](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles). Unsurprisingly all of our brains tend to learn in the same way for the most part.
I love what he says about motivation and reaction. Motivation is tough and comes down to psychology much more than teaching. Reaction comes with time and practice and importantly preparation. You can’t react correctly if you don’t understand the assignment. If you don’t understand how everyone is moving around you.
Everything he says goes into the broad spectrum of development, Learning involves making mistakes. What he said at the end “how can I be better.” Is core to the learning process and ideally the big mistakes are made in practice and not on the field on game day.
One last thing that he doesn’t touch on that is a large part of NFL player development I would assume is overwriting habits that are successful at lowers levels of play that will not be successful in the NFL. Of course that type of thing lends itself to some positions more than others.
All of this takes time and patience, which a lot of NFL teams and fans and especially media people do not have.
Browns haven’t had a former nfl qb as qb coach since Alex van pelt in 2023.
Respectfully, unless Dillon (or Shedeur) gets a chance to start and looks like Burrow or Mahomes we should ban any mention of drafting two o-linemen and not drafting a QB in the first round.
We’ve had one of the best o-lines in the league off and on for 15 years and have only had success in that time with a QB who is proving to be legitimately great.
How about we try drafting a top tier QB and wr instead?
