Hey, Mallet played an incredible game. Those receivers don't drop those passes and we lose in my IMO. Some NFL team is gonna love thise guy. I was seriously impressed by his arm, his pocket presence, his touch, and his fire. What a great QB...in my IMO

Our CBs and Safeties don't drop those passes and we win bigger IMO.

Ryan Mallett doesn't have off-field issues. The field has off-Ryan-Mallett issues.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-potential-draft-day-plunge-for-ryan-mallett/

Caplan wrote on Twitter Tuesday night that Mallett is ?almost certain? to drop out of the first round of April?s draft, even going so far as to say it ?wouldn?t shock (Caplan) to see Mallett fall to the third (round).? Similar to Breer, Caplan cites ?baggage, and not the kind you carry? as the main reason for Mallett?s projected draft-day slip.

Combine focus: Mallett melts

INDIANAPOLIS In about an hour's worth of interviews with the media, Arkansas? Ryan Mallett saw his draft stock crumble....

There have been whispers around the NFL about alleged drug use with Mallett for months. He came to Indianapolis knowing that the stories were out there and that the questions would be asked. Likewise, Newton came here with the usual questions about the NCAA inquiry into his college career and a new set of questions about his "icon" quote.

Mallet walked away from the podium leaving the questions hanging unanswered in a series of bumbling, and sometimes pompous, replies that had reporters shaking their heads. Newton walked to the podium with a statement in hand, pre-empting any questions with a simple, straight-forward explanation.
It?s still unclear if either Mallett or Newton will succeed in the NFL, but there was one clear impression left after watching the two speak on Saturday: If you?re choosing a leader at quarterback for your football team, Newton is a whole lot closer to being the real deal than Mallett.
Mallett started off defensive and then repeatedly bobbed and weaved his way around the drug questions. He neither denied nor admitted use. Fair or not, some might conclude that the rumors are true.

The very first question in the interview was about the allegations, which shouldn't have been a surprise. But it seemed that way to Mallett.

"First question, huh?" Mallett said, perhaps expecting that a bouquet of flowers was headed his direction. He then said, "When I saw that stuff, I laughed about it."

After that came a series of further half-baked answers that led to more inquiries.
"I said I'm not going to talk about it here," Mallett said, indicating that he would answer the questions only to NFL teams. Keeping secrets in the NFL about drug use is about as likely as growing palm trees on an iceberg.
Mallett then played the blame game, saying, "Obviously, someone did that for a reason, right before the combine." In reality, the rumors about Mallett have been swirling for months.

Then there was this cocky gem of an answer to questions about his decision-making on the field. Many around the NFL have been troubled by Mallett?s propensity for big mistakes in critical moments. When asked how he answers those concerns, Mallett said: "Seven thousand-plus yards and 60 touchdowns in two seasons. That's how I respond to that."

Yeah, because other than being a thief, a cheat and a liar he has all the makings of a great leader.

JFC, they give me the power and catch me on a bad day I'd go full frontal Stalin on sportswriters and purge all their asses.

Well... he did transfer from Michigan which apparently is the black mark of death according to some.

Sorry, SmoovP but I have to say that Mallett is overrated. Big Time.

Just like Jake Locker.

He may be more NFL ready physically, but he doesn't stack up mentally. He makes too many poor decisions against good opponents and got lucky on a couple of occasions last year.

In fact, the best QB in the draft decided to stay in school for another year (Luck at Stanford).

Of all the QBs in the draft right now, probably the most consistant one is Dalton from TCU - and one hit in the Senior Bowl took care of him.

Gabbert is as immature as Newton, if not more.

Newton, well, he's sCam Newton.

Locker was exposed against, well, everybody this year. He was ESPN's multiple Heisman guy till he got smacked around by the 'Shirts this year at home.

Kaepernick is an athlete, but is very raw. Stanzi is very inconsistant as a QB.

There's others I could name, but this post would be humongous. Obviously, this is the year of the defensive player as the majority of top 10 guys will probably play on the defensive side of the ball.

Obviously you are welcome to your opinion but I happen to think RM will be a very good Pro QB if he goes to the right situation. If he is asked to start from day 1 obviously he won't be successful. But if he can sit back for a year or two and learn, he can be a very good one.

If his WR's didn't drop everything thrown to them, it would have been a very different Sugar Bowl. And that was with his line being dominated every play.

And if Nebraska's receivers don't drop 4 touchdown passes thrown to them, they beat Texas last year. Them's the breaks.

I'm not saying that he won't be a decent quarterback....I said that I think, IMHO, that he's overrated - just like all the other QBs on the board this year.

As far as what SmoovP said - remember, all my opinion, lol, but this guy seems to know a thing or two about drafting QBs...

EDITED: Added an ESPN article looking at Parcells' rules for drafting QBs.

You didn't read the article I linked, did you HuskerBoy?

Are you seriously holding up Bill Parcells as being a good QB... well, a good QB anything?
