Quote:If you re-read that, I never said that Mallett > Dalton. 

 

What I said was Mallett has the kind of tools and game that if he reaches his potential can be a SB caliber QB. 

 

He's an aggressive downfield QB. He goes out and makes plays (albeit in college but thats all we have to go on as of yet)

 

I'd take a chance with a QB like Mallett before I'd waste time with an Andy Dalton, Alex Smith or Nick Foles type. 

Call me crazy but there's a lot more than just whether or not has the tools... Jamarcus Russell and Blaine Gabbert have all the tools - they didn't reach their potential though.

 

I think it would be very foolish to go with Mallet instead of guys you mentioned.  With the guys listed here, you know they can get you to the playoffs.


Mallet could become a huge bust.  He could be worse than Gabbert.  He could also be injury prone once he starts taking hits.  I could say that with just as much certainty as you can claiming he has superbowl winning potential.
