That is a very well written article. He brings up some interesting points.

The only question I would have, is where on the "Petersons Scale" he would put past QB prospects coming out of college. I would imagine that Ryan and Stafford would have been around 2.5.

I know, from when Matty was playing and also from being a State fan, that TOB's offense makes use of 4-5 soft reads and 2-3 "progressive" reads on most passing plays. And, from what I can remember, Georgia's offense was pretty similar in that respect.

There are still some question marks, some missing links. However, this supports Gabbert as well. These QBs are coming out early, so the importance of the additional year in college cannot be understated. Probably why Locker made his decision. I mean, we all look at him as a moron for staying in, but if he was the second QB taken in 2010, his salary would be millions higher for being the first QB taken in 2011. Bad gamble.

THis is closer to the info that the scouts would consider. However, the fact that 4 out of the last 9 QBs to be drafted first overall is still scary. Which QBs taken #1 overall since 1998 became consistent starters?

The biggest concern to me is the Jump the junior QBs have to make to become a successful NFL QB from being an underclassman. Check out this article on the Junior (or sophomore) QBs making the leap to the NFL in the past 20 years or so. Sobering:

Here is the list:

Successes

•Ben Roethlisberger

•Drew Bledsoe

Failures

•Alex Smith

•Rex Grossman (yes, he made a Super Bowl, but does anyone really consider him anything other than a failure in Chicago?)

•Michael Vick (if maturity is what keeps underclassmen QBs from succeeding, then I think Vick has to be considered a failure despite his flashes of success.)

•Tim Couch

•Ryan Leaf

•Heath Shuler

•Tommy Maddox

•Todd Marinovich

•Jeff George

•Andre Ware

add: Jamarcus Russell, Vince Young

Borderline: Trent Dilfer (I say failure for the most part)

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
