Clowney vs Bridgewater
|
Quote:Russel Wilson was not "incorrectly scouted and valued." The value was exactly correct. You draft a guy as low as you can. The red flags were real, it's just that you never know if a player will be able to transcend those negative traits that don't seem favorable in NFL projection (such as being short... not having the strongest arm as in Joe Montana, etc., etc.) Red flags? What "red flags" did Russell Wilson have other than his height? His arm strength was never a major concern, and Wilson was off the charts mentally. He was only a third-round pick because he was two inches too short. Tom Brady is an example of a guy that was correctly scouted and happened to transform himself in the pros; Wilson was always a stud. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Quote:most likely the pick will be teddy, but i'm sure if clowney does something towards the end of the season dont discount him being considered. I can't even imagine what could happen to make a GM of a team with Gabbert and Chad Henne say "We will wait for a later round QB instead" as opposed to taking the best one in the draft. Short of Clowney moving to the QB position and dominating.

Tom Brady is an example of a guy that was correctly scouted and happened to transform himself in the pros; Wilson was always a stud. That was the red flag. In the NFL, height is a HUGE red flag. As stated in his draft profile, if he were three inches taller it would have been a completely different draft. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2011/profiles/r...id=2532975 Height isn't a simple, superficial like/dislike factor. It's very difficult to overcome.

You missed the whole point of my post.

Quote:If we pick first overall we wont have pick #33. We'll have pick #34 You have been told this before...but that is only if two teams have the same worst record.

Barkley has been bashed for his weak arm since he got his first start.

Quote:hindsight is 20/20 :whistling: I'm not talking about hindsight. I'm talking about during their respective peak seasons. I don't recall anyone ever saying Barkley or Geno were better NFL prospects than RG3. You see it all the time with Bridgewater.

You see it all the time with Bridgewater. Yep, ....I'm more worried about the Jags screwing up the process of getting the #1 pick, i.e. winning some meaningless games down the stretch, than I am worried about Bridgewater panning out into a great NFL QB.

Quote:i havent seen any articles/scouts/media comparing teddy to luck or manning as have a lot of people here. if you can provide some i'd luck to read it. I bet you've looked for ages. Also Geno is looking like a first round QB so far tonight. And OptimumScouting is pretty garbage when it comes to prospect sites. They are Josh Norris on BR are ridiculous when it comes to QBs. They thought Fales would be the top QB this season.
TEST
Geno Smith tonight: 8/9 134yds 2tds with 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. 5th game of his NFL career.
Looks pretty first round to me.

Quote:So, wait, you still believe Geno Smith is a franchise QB?Nothing he has done this year would suggest otherwise. He has been quite impressive with very subpar surround talent. |
