Avoid "Red Flags" in the First Round of the Draft.

Alen is overrated. He's born in '91 if I'm not mistaken. He's a fake 19.

 

Just ribbing you man. Not to turn this into a circle jerk, but you really do know your stuff. Make no mistake though, you're the second most handsome 19 year old on the forum.

 

Thanks but lets keep this on topic, please.

 

Todd you make me laugh out loud, like few others around here can do.

 

I became less concerned about his mobility after I went back and watched some of the UD videos.

 

I hope we draft Mallet. I think 15 is a good spot to take a chance if we feel someone has the upside to be the answer at the Qb position. Mallet actually seems to move well in the pocket to me, he seems to avoid the rush and always, always looks downfield, I think the fact that he's strictly a pocket passer that comes from a pro style offense gives him a big edge over guys coming from spread offenses in college. I think he's going to be the best Qb in the class in the long run. I know he has red flags so I can't say I'll be surprised if we pass on him but I'd take him at 15 and develop him for a year behind Henne. I don't think we are a guard or Rb away from the Superbowl, we need a Qb to be a title contender, I hope we target a guy and go after him this year. Henne isn't the answer and this team is not going to a Superbowl without a better Qb.

 

I'm in love with myself.

 

With VD, I only ever knew of the one thing with Zook, but it was the reason I was against the pick. In my case it was speculation about how important of a red flag it was. I thought it was potentially indicative of a player who wasn't going to work hard and just relied on his athletic ability. That is a big concern for me b/c I don't think 99.9% can succeed on just athletic ability. If the speculation was accurate then you have to believe that VD would change. In my experience most people don't change so it's simply a bad bet to bet on change. VD either changed or was able to convince and show the team that he was always willing to work hard.

 

I think the height is a factor simply b/c it's generally more difficult for taller people to quickly shift their hips and reset their feet. IMO Mallett is not athletic enough to do that well. In that regard he is the anti-Marino. People remember Dan's arm and release but it was his quick feet that made it all happen. I see Mallett as less able to do that than Flacco. I see his potential upside as something less than Flacco. And that is before you get to the character red flags. As I said before, betting on people to change is generally a bad bet.

 

1992. The birth year of Champions.

 

I get that a lot when I show up at the park next to the high school for some reason.

 

You're on for that young walloper, but the next time I am in Raleigh will be the first time.

 

Screw that, I wanna go to Thailand and go to a dirty strip club with the old man, and eat wild bore in the jungle, get drunk, maybe shoot some birds..lol

 

Preschoolers don't really buy much weed surprisingly.

 

If you look, you can find a red flag on every player. So your saying in fact we should never have drafted Marino, interesting!

 

I have to say i dont agree. Longer legs would allow him to drop back faster, with fewer steps & not need to find as many throwing lanes as say Brees. As for facing inferior oposition...IN THE SEC?? and its not like he was around a ton of talent, he had to win many games himself....against SEC telent. Hope we grab him (and he is still there).

 

Byron Leftwich, poor leadership? All I heard about Byron Leftwich was his amazing leadership

 

Mallett had hands down one of the best supporting casts in NCAA Football.

 

I asked this a while ago: If you want something done right...LOL Wonderlic scores, for whatever its worth.

Here are the alleged 2011 Wonderlic scores of top NFL prospects. Their score is out of 50:

Greg McElroy 43
Blaine Gabbert 42
Christian Ponder 35
Ricky Stanzi 30
Andy Dalton 29
Ryan Mallett 26
Cam Newton 21
Jake Locker 20

So you have no answer I see.

 

I'm currently in another nearby country, not in Thailand, but no direct TV in any of them. The way you watch NFL here other than a few games that are on satellite every week is get a fast internet connection and NFL Sunday Ticket off of nfl.com. Some guys even hook their computers up to their large flat screen TVs, the image is damned good. All the games are archived, so we can go back and watch any previous game at any time. Cost is roughly same as through Direct TV. No excuses now Todd.

 

The Easter Bunny aint real?????????????????

 

wtf, I'm calling mom.....
