western-michigan-broncos.gif1. Tim Hiller - Western Michigan

Positives

+++Arm Strength - Has amazing arm strength, probably has the strongest arm in the draft

++Football Intelligence - Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball typically.

+Accuracy - Puts good touch on the ball and can fit it into tight spots.

Negatives

---Injury Prone - Has torn his ACL on both right and left knees.

--Mobility - Does not move around well in the pocket, but will succeed if coupled with good pass blocking.

-Release - Has a slower than average release speed, but his height and over-the-top release will result in few tipped balls at the LOS.

Positives

+++Competitiveness - Plays with loads of determination and is a hard worker. He's a natural leader and would love to step into that role.

++Arm Strength - Great arm strength, but doesn't have the power to throw well when working under pressure.

+Mobility - Is comfortable with tucking the ball in and running for a first down and also does a good job escaping pressure.

Negatives

---None - No major negative.

--Footwork - Puts himself in bad spots by getting off-balance and often forgetting to set his feet before throwing.

-Accuracy - When he's not making a mistake with his footwork, he puts nice touch on the ball, but needs to learn when he needs to put touch on the ball.

Positives

+++Arm Strength - Just beneath Tim Hiller in terms of arm strength. Can put the ball in any spot when he makes an accurate throw.

++Release - Over-the-top release results in few batted balls and gets the ball out quickly.

+Mobility - Doesn't move extremely well in the pocket, but has great speed and can give himself loads of time to throw when he escapes the pocket.

Negatives

---Experience - Only started one year at WVU and may take longer to adjust to a Pro-Style Offense.

--Durability - Experienced injury problems with his arm and hip even while not starting as a Junior.

-Accuracy - Shows moments of great accuracy but does not throw an easily catchable ball on a consistent basis.

Honorable Mention

Darryl Clark - Penn State

+++Arm Strength

---Footwork

Matt Grothe - South Florida

+++Leadership Skills

---Accuracy

Who do you feel we should go after?

Yeah...there will be pressure in the NFL. Next!

Not even remotely ready. Next!

None of these guys, that's for sure. But props for the research and insight. I like the addition of the logos haha.

One of these should be taken for development. No doubt they will come cheap and it's pretty obvious that QB is worth such a small investment.

I'd take Lefevour but I'm no scout, so I wouldn't know. But regardless of what happens, it's not likely that we'll get a rookie QB who will be ready to play. Saying we shouldn't draft a rookie QB because he's not NFL ready is pretty retarded, and it's basically why we're at where we're at with Jake right now.

In other words, our options are slim and none.

I really think we will go after a cast-off like Jason Campbell. Will also be interesting to see what happens with the Eagles, they have a crowd at QB. I never thought I'd say this but I'd honestly support bringing Vick in for a look at this point. If he can even be half of what he was, he could breath some life into our offense. Vick and Williams could start running the option like Young and Johnson are doing in TN....

Can you even imagine how cool it would be to go to Atlanta and beat them with Vick? LOL

Id say Lefevour is the most NFL ready. He needs a good coach though because his footwork is still all over the place.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
