Quote:I saw Mallett sling the rock all over the field in college. High YPA, beating tight coverage.....not sure where the inaccuracy thing comes from, he looked pretty accurate to me when I watched his QB play his final year in college. 

 

I get that he hasn't yet shown much as a pro, but I'm far from ready to assume that he can't cut it in the NFL. 

The first game he started this preseason, he couldn't hit a broad side of a barn. He had a good makeup game the next week, but his overall performance in the preseason he has done nothing but check the ball down and go through the motions. He has done nothing to even warrant being on a roster as long as he has since he's been drafted.

 

College is a different wolf as far as making risky throws goes. Teddy Bridgewater is a huge example of a guy who we know can make all of the throws, yet in his first game insisted on throwing checkdowns and was generally afraid to make those throws. I'm not sure I've seen anything from Mallet that leads me to believe he can be a productive starter in this league.

 

You've had your moments as far as predictions go, but I'm pretty confident you're gonna miss on this one. We'll see.
