Bruce AriansBryce Young has the talent to succeed in the NFL given the right offensive system
I saw Bryce win the national championship with, with maybe better players than he is playing with now... he can do it. He's shown he can do it in the right system. His stature scared me... there weren't any braces. There weren't any Johnny Manzes at that size and stature that made it in the NFL.
Bruce AriansAnthony Richardson is currently more of an athlete than a quarterback because he lacks consistency in the pocket
Anthony's stats didn't match. His ability and, and all, all ability doesn't make a quarterback. Now. You gotta be, you gotta win two minute, third down. I don't give a shit how fast you run. How high you jump... if you can't show me that you can do that in college, that to me, you're not a quarterback, you're an athlete... And he didn't exactly tear people up in college. You know, it was just combine superstar.
Bruce AriansAndrew Luck is the ultimate quarterback prospect, possessing every top-tier trait
If I was gonna build all of [the QBs I've coached] into one, it'd be Andrew Luck. 'cause he had everything that they all had, you know, he had a photographic memory. He was as athletic stuff was off the charts, same as Cam Newton's. His, his recall was like Ben and Tom. His preparation was like Ben and Tom and Ben, Tom and Peyton.
Bruce AriansRumors of friction with Tom Brady were completely false
It was a big one [the rumor of friction]. It's nothing could be further from the truth. We have a great relationship... Tom, he's asking more questions and I throw him in the golf cart and he's old enough and I can drive him off the field.
Bruce AriansTom Brady is throwing the ball better at age 45 than he did two years ago
He's throwing better now. It's crazy... he's got great mechanics. He's one of those full body throwers. He's not using all just arm. Tom, he's an amazing human being... he's throwing the ball better and I've ever seen him throw it.
Bruce AriansAndrew Luck was the best quarterback I ever coached, even just as a rookie
Andrew Luck. Number one. Really? I only had him as a rookie, but he was unbelievable. Skilled wise is off the chart, but mentally he was right there with Peyton and Andrew and Tom.
Bruce AriansTom Brady will likely play for a couple more years but not five
Nothing surprises me with Tom. I don't know about five [more years], but a couple for sure. He's throwing him all better than he did when he two years ago.
Bruce AriansLamar Jackson is the most intriguing quarterback of the 2018 draft class
But the guy that really intrigued me was Lamar Jackson. I mean, I saw you where the league's heading... him and David Johnson in the same backfield and put some speed outside. How much fun would that be coaching?
Bruce AriansBen Roethlisberger will play another five years
And I think with Randy Fichtner as the quarterback coach now and coordinator, [Ben Roethlisberger] will play five years.
