Mallett's QB Camp with Gruden a Flop?

Sounds like Mallett is going the Clausen way of throwing teammates under the bus during Gruden QB Camp. Oops.

RT @davidpollack47 Mallett blamed Oline on several blitz pickup issues. His arm is better than almost everyone .. but that's not the concern

Interesting. RT @davidpollack47 Gruden Qb camp w/ Ryan Mallett reinforces a lot of the concerns teams have with him. Not a good showing

Oh BTW, you want to talk about character issues.

Peyton Manning while at Tennessee, sat on the face of a female trainer with his bare ass. Look it up. They paid her over 300 grand to keep it hush hush. He forced her down and did that.

I bet only a handful of people on here knew that. You guys wouldn't be concerned with that would ya?

Didn't Peyton Manning throw his o-line under the bus when they lost to Pittsburgh? Does that make him a "bad teammate" and a "head case"?

Throwing his oline under the bus doesn't make him a headcase. His anger issue does.

Am I questioning his talent...no...I'm questioning his ability to keep calm under a stressful situation. Last thing this team needs is a QB that blows up because things aren't going the right way. Watching all the pregame stories about him "learning to remain calm" before the Ark/LSU game this year worried me.

:rofl: I totally forgot about Peyton teabagging that ho!

Edit: link

Court documents add graphic body-part details, which we shall omit because you certainly can get the picture.

I watched it and he didn't really come off very professional to me...I just do not like his personality or demeanor. Maybe that shouldn't factor in but he isn't a likable guy like Jake...he reminds me of a Jay Cutler or Phillip Rivers but with less talent. Gruden's pretty much showed his weakness in recognizing the blitz and lack of athletiscm and he seemed to shrug it off. I do not like him...if we could put his arm on Christian Ponder's body then we might have something...but I don't want any part of Mallet. That's not to say he won't be successful but me personally I don't see it.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
