He said he likes Cam as a prospect, and he also said several times that if you violate your principles, that's when it comes back to bite you in the ass. He said Cam would be violating mostly all of his principles. Similar to Pat White. Parcells seemed to indicate that there was no QB prospect in this years draft that had prototypical size and met all of his criteria.

Stanzi does actually I think... but I guess he has other red flags.

Don't take this the wrong way because it isn't directed at you, but I fully expect a lot of people to applaud your post... but I'm going to wonder how many of those very people will curse Hurney if we pass on Cam Newton.

The same people that praise Hurney for taking Cam Newton will be demanding his head in 3 years when/if Cam Newton flames out.

I really like Stanzi as a prospect. I don't think Parcells talked about him though.

He didn't, at all.

I would be happy with Stanzi in a later round because I think he could surprise. It may just be due to the fact I've seen more Big 10 games than any other conference, but he can really make some nice throws under pressure. He has really improved his mechanics this last year, too; he had a bit of a windup last year. He is so much more polished this year.

I wouldn't want him starting early, but then again, we wouldn't be starting Cam or anyone else early either.

I think Gabbert would be an instant upgrade over Clausen and could start right away. I don't feel that way about anyone else in this draft besides Mallett. But, I agree with you about Stanzi could be a steal in this draft.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
