Ryan Mallett

[davos]

A general Mallett thread...Apart from the threads about the Panthers' potential QBs. I'm basically trying to see what people think Mallett is capable of becoming at the NFL level in general. Also, what QBs would good comparisons to him and what team would be the best fit for this kid?

i've seen comparisons to derek anderson. i could compare him with jemarcus russel.

lack of intangibles. relies mostly on his size and arm. not known for making good decisions, having good mechanics, or being very mobile in the pocket.

actually sounds like ryan leaf.

people get too caught up in a player having a "cannon for an arm" and thinking that it is enough to win the games and will draft them thinking that it will be enough to make up for their lack of skills or intangibles. more often than not, these guys are the ones that turn into busts.

i'd be much more afraid of this guy busting than luck. i don't care who he played against in college. russell played against those guys as well.

Lack of Maturity

[X-Clown]

Seems like another Bobby Petrino product that looks good in college but will fail at the next level.

I'm not down on him. I don't know much about him, nor have i watched him play much, but i'm not down on him. does arkansas run a spread or a pro style?

I don't know, I'm thinking Petrino runs a more open, spread out offensive scheme

And from Mallett's interviews it seems he's dumb as a brick.

*Good analysis rayzor, but you never know he could excel depending on where he goes. Honestly, he reminds me of (now please, I know this is ridiculous) a much less enthusiastic Terry Bradshaw for some reason.

just because you can bundle a few sticks together and wind up with a higher IQ than the guy doesn't make him like bradshaw.

you're right it is ridiculous, but you could call that an (although unplausible) best case scenario.

connection with this bozo is an automatic red flag.

It was a personal random comparison. That's all.

I was just saying, you never know until they're given the opportunity.

People attempt to sound so incredibly sure about draft prospects when really it is one of the toughest things to analyze in world of football.

Tony Pike + Arm - Brain = Mallett

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Pike really isn't a good decision maker either. I think that's a good comparison though, he's basically Pike with a strong arm.

I don't think he's worth even a 3rd round pick.

I wouldn't draft the guy even if we pass on Luck and he drops to 65th overall. Same goes with Locker.

Wouldn't be totally against trading down for a huge deal and going after Newton if you can get him later in the draft. But he's risky as hell and looks like he's got a good shot at going in the top 10 now, which would be too high for me to want to spend on him.

All in all I think you're better off just keeping the pick and taking Luck.

I was trying to make this thread not about the Panthers drafting him or anyone for that matter

Its about Ryan Mallett and what he can do
