Ryan Mallett's 'pass placement was awful'

SI.com draft analyst Tony Pauline believes that Ryan Mallett's 64.7 completion rate is not indicative of the Arkansas quarterback's accuracy.

"His pass placement was awful," observed Pauline, who believes Christian Ponder is a better prospect. "Ponder puts the ball where not only his receiver can catch it, but he hits them in stride." Mallett would seem to have a much higher ceiling of the two, but Ponder is the safer and more NFL-ready pick. Mallett is perhaps the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the draft. Mar 17, 11:46

Ponder is too injury prone IMO. He's a solid QB, but doesn't have much of an arm.

Chad Pennington if I had to make a comparison. That's not necessarily a bad thing as I think Pennington was pretty darn good when healthy, but I think we'll see Ponder also struggle to stay healthy and never really achieve his potential due to that.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
