How do Tannehill, Weeden, Locker, Gabbert, & Ponder go 1st yet

  • The league is desperate for QBs. Period.

    Just wait till next year when a "real good" Matt Barkley slotted #1 pick is traded for a King's Ransom to some poor team that needs him to be their savior.

    If the Colts get the #1 pick next year, they can trade down to 3 or 4 and take Sam Montgomery while adding maybe more than what St Louis got for #2 this year.

  • IMO, Mallett's drop in stock had as much to do with his personality and recreational hobbies as anything. See Warren Sapp as a previous example.

  • He's terrible under Pressure. First sign of it and he freaks. He's dumb and was a terrible interview and didn't show dedication.

    Didn't he blow off an interview with a team or show up hungover?

  • Mallett is a dbag of the highest order, almost as high as supermario. I've had Arkansas friends tell me some awful stories about that clown. I wish him the worst.

    I agree, and it's sad.

    We will see if Matt Barkley goes #1 overall. I feel bad for the team that takes him. I mean, I like him, I think he's a good college QB, but I don't see a great NFL prospect there. I'd take Mallett over him as well.

    I'd still take Mallett over all of those guys listed in the OP.

    Colts will be terrible man. It is a good bet they will have a high draft pick again next year. Luck should be good, but he needs a lot of help. That team needs to be rebuilt completely.

  • I feel like we have had this conversation a year ago except their were a few other QBs that were mentioned. People said Mallett is better than Dalton and Cam. The problem is that Mallett does not do well at all under pressure. He also can't move in the pocket well. Great arm but that doesn't always mean you are going to be great in the NFL.

    Mallett moves in the pocket pretty well actually. It's what he does when he gets outside of the pocket that messes him up. Mallett's pocket presence is nice, and the kid isn't afraid to stand up tall in the pocket and get hit to the chin while he's delivering a pass. Believe it or not, lots of guys are scared to sit in the pocket and take a hit. Look at Blaine Gabbert's girly ass for evidence of this.

    Cam had a great rookie season, and so did Dalton, and I liked them both a lot going into the draft last year. A hell of a lot better than any of the other QB's I mentioned in the original post.

    I still think Mallett will be a star in the future. He is getting the best football coaching on planet earth and he gets to watch and learn from maybe the greatest QB to ever play the game.

    He's terrible under pressure that was always a big knock on him. He may sit in the pocket and take hits but he doesn't handle it well.

    Every QB is terrible under pressure. Mallett is very much like Brady, very slow footed. They ran the exact same 40 time at the NFL combine and similar shuttle times. Neither of them are mobile even a little bit, but fortunately for them mobility is not a necessity for QB's. Both of them had some of the slowest 40 times in combine history for QB's. Mallett is bad at dealing with pressure directly up the middle and having to reset his feet when the pocket is collapsed up the middle. Tom Brady suffers from this as well. Watch the Ravens AFC Chip game or the 2nd half of the Super Bowl when the Giants started using Tuck more at DT and trying to penetrate up the middle.

    Are you seriously comparing a guy that hasn't took one snap in the NFL to a guy that is one of the best QBs playing today? Mallett and Brady are nothing alike until Mallett does something/anything to prove that he is even decent in the NFL.

  • They don't do drugs, and act like they have a little bit of sence. Plus it's not hard to be good in college when all
    you have to do in arky's SYSTEM is drop back and throw it as far as you can.

    I am not comparing their careers. I am comparing certain attributes of their games. Mallett is extremely slow footed. So is Tom Brady. They both have some of the worst testing times in the history of the NFL combine for QB's in both the 40 and shuttle. There is no way to avoid that fact. Brady has had trouble when teams rush him up the middle and make him reset his feet. When a defense is able to rush up the middle and completely suffocate the pocket it forces a QB to make throws that he absolutely should not attempt because they often are throwing off their back-foot and not resetting their feet. Mobile QB's that can escape the pressure and reset their feet obviously fare better against a rush up the middle. Brady most definitely struggles with pressure up the middle. In fact that is literally the only weakness in his entire freaking game.

  • Drafting Tannehill only means one thing to the dolphins. They will now blow leads and lose in the last couple min of the game.

    Actually I think it means that the new head coach is going to be fired within 2-3 years and that the Dolphins just set themselves back at least 5 years.

  • OP, are you a Michigan fan?

    Mallet is a dumb bastard. 3 or 4 people said that right away, but you ignored it. Sometimes being a mentally challenged methhead makes you fall in the draft.

    If Mallett is such a dumb bastard then how come he graduated from high school early and enrolled at Michigan?

    If Mallett is such a dumb bastard, then how come when he had chalk-talks at New England on his visit and Belicheck and staff tried to stump him they couldn't? How come he passed their quizzing with flying colors?

    If Mallett is such a dumb bastard then how come he scored better than average in the Wonderlic? You do know the kid scored higher than Tebow (who had a 22) and that the NFL average for QB's in the Wonderlic is 24. Andy Dalton's wonderlic score was only 2 points higher- 29 vs. 27.Mallett also scored higher than Cam on the Wonderlic.

    Complete moron though, right?

    GTFO.
