I've had plenty of guys that turn it on and off at different times. That's very normal. I've never had somebody that was very average most weeks become really good on Fridays. Now I have had guys that were really good in practice and then bad on Fridays. The pressure wilts some players

QBs have individual time/group time/ and then team time. You get to see them perform doing lots of things during their reps. You have a really good idea of who they are.
