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.

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.

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.

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 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

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
