Mallett Staying

[scpanther22]

this QB class is not looking that good..

Mallett announced his intention to return at a 1:30 p.m. press in the Raymond Miller Room of the Broyles Athletic Center. The strong-armed Texarkana native had explored the possibility of entering the NFL Draft. He broke or tied 16 school records in his first season as a starter, passing for 3,627 yards and 30 touchdowns

So...Mallett is staying and Snead is going??? Something is backwards there.

good thing we have matt moore :party:

Yeah...just heard that too. The one QB I wanted us to go after if any at all was him......oh well

The guy is a freak of nature in his own right 6' 7", 260 or so, and surely not done growing.

Piss on my parade why don't ya.

He definitely needs another year. He has all the physical tools, but needs to learn to take what the defense is giving him instead of going downfield all the time.

Yeah, but he could have slipped to us easier this year if we were interested. I had rather him spend a year here in the system behind NFL Pro QB's, instead of in college. His stock will only go up next year.

Have we traded our 1st round pick for next year? I know we traded atleast one pick for next year, but don't remember where it falls.

His 2nd half of the season really proved to me he needs another year at the college level. Relies too much on arm strength.

[Scrumtrilescent]

And he needs to chisel those concrete blocks off of his feet.

[Carolina Husker]

He also needs to be way less wiggerish.

i am not sure we had a shot at him anyway. i think he was a mid 1st rounder and at the worst, a very early 2nd rounder. his size and arm strength are great, he had enough mobility when they rolled the pocket, and could make all the nfl throws. imo he was this years sanchez. he is a great prospect with very limited playing time. i dont think he would have started in 2010 for an nfl team (or at least he shouldnt have) but project that could turn into a top 3 qb.

[SMACKDAB]

This is why I said, and feel the way I feel, along with watching the guy included.

With just one full season as a starter (he filled in for an injured Chad Henne at Michigan midway through the season), Mallett could be wise to return to Arkansas for his junior year. If he does, a first-round selection in 2011 is possible. If he comes out for 2010, count on him getting taken in the second or third round of the draft

.

But....lately I have seen him being slated as high as #7 overall pick, to Washington. Who knows. I just know he would have been worth the risk if he slid to us this year, but that dream is over.
