Ranking the prospects of the last five years.

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be an interesting discussion on how you ranked the prospects of the last 5 years against this year and past. Post how you had the prospects here. Be honest or else it isn't fun :D

 

Here is what I have for qbs

 

1. Andrew Luck
2. Teddy Bridgewater
3. Cam Newton
4. Jameis Winston
5. Sam Bradford
6. Ryan Tannehill 
7. Blake Bortles
8. Matthew Stafford
9. Mark Sanchez
10. Robert Griffin III

All I can do is laugh.

 

I thought Baylor was a place were qbs could succeed based on the offensive system, I thought he had trouble with the mid-field balls, I though he had trouble staying inside a clean pocket among other things. I thought RGIII was easily the best deep ball thrower, however, I had watched enough to realize he was chucking it to wide open wide receivers and a lot of the production came from that. He seemed like a good project, but not a guy who could carry a team without a system around him, a system that would be quickly figured out in the nfl.

 

Tannehill on the other hand seemed to adjust super well to being a qb, and being a wr beforehand had helped him out with timing and being able to manipulate a s/db. I thought he ran a pro-style offense with excellent results and developed as the year went along. He went through progressions, did not rely on athleticism but rather allowed it to compliment his game. He seemed like a franchise qb after 2-3 years and had better understanding of the game. 

 

At this point, was I really wrong? =/

Yea I also thought RG3 was overhyped. Running a fast 40 is meaningless. The bigger surprise than RG3 at #10 is Bridgewater at 2. My list, in terms of prospects, would be Luck, Winston, Cam, then the rest.

 

I touted Bridgewater as an amazing qb prospect ever since he came out, it was never really close, I liked him almost as much as Luck. Obviously the pro day and size dinged him, but I am pretty certain he will prove people wrong.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
