Really??? Its not like he even pretends to run. It does help that Mallet is a pretty big guy so will be more of a Big Ben guy in the sense that he wont be dodging guys but might make them bounce off him. but again thats why teams have running backs to run those 40 yards

Brady also went in the 6th round, as the 199th pick overall in the 2000 draft. Brady also is one of those diamond in the rough style players that doesn't show what he has until he was put in a system with an amazing coach. Brady-style players don't come around all that often.

Now... if someone wants to say Mallet is one day going to be the next Brady... that's fine. But I could say that about any QB in the draft, and get pot-lucky correct.

But don't expect him to go in the first round of the draft, or expect we even have him on our radar.

Every QB in this draft is more than likely on our radar, including Mallett.

Or Marino. :)

He doesn't have Marino's quick release, and I have seen this kid fall apart in the pocket too many times. Gabbert is about the only QB in this draft who has anything close to a Marino-like release, IMO.

By all means though, if you can guarantee that his first read will always be open or that the pass rush won't be in his face by the time he goes to option #2 or 3 and that he will never have to move, then Mallett is your guy.

On the other hand, if you believe there will be times when your QB has to move around and buy time to make a throw, make a throw with people in his face or at his feet, or even (God forbid) have to run the ball (gasp!) then you better be looking at Newton or Gabbert.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
