That's why they always fall in love with guys like Croyle or Stanzi. Maybe that's finally our guy! Gotta keep drafting those offensive linemen, so we can keep on running the ball, and we'll have great protection when our middle round quarterback savior finally arrives, or when we finally land that next great costoff backup from whatever flavor of the month team we're emulating. God forbid we use the highest pick we may ever have on the most important position. Find a bargain instead. Or even better trade it for some value!

I remember people saying we couldn't select Ryan at our pick if available cause we had to give Croyle a chance ROFL We have the number one pick and can have any QB we want, but they would rather wait and take the 4th or 5th ranked guy. It's disturbing and disgusts me.

Glennon's throwing motion and decision making isn't even close to Ryan's.

Bray has a similar motion/release point to Stafford and Cutler but hoping he's got Brees' decision making is beyond optimistic IMO.

RunKC 01-22-2013 02:23 PM

Glennon has all the tools to be a good QB. It's his Blaine Gabbert-like nervousness in the pocket that has me worried about him.

RunKC 01-22-2013 02:30 PM

"Mike Glennon of North Carolina St. is clearly the best quarterback at the game this year in my opinion, at least so far. Now Glennon wasn’t perfect but the positives far outweighed the negatives and he’s an easy guy to fall in love with. I think Ryan Nassib of Syracuse was better than any of the quarterbacks that I saw from the South team yesterday too."

He seemed like he had a slow throwing motion to me in his bowl game but that is the only game I've watched live.

I don't hate the guy but when Geno and Wilson are still on the board, it doesn't make sense to me to take that guy.

That's true, but right now he's looking far better than Wilson at the Senior Bowl according to the tweets and NFL Network.

He seems to be the QB that will rise the most after the Senior Bowl. I think he'll be a top 10 pick.

I think he's a definite 1st rounder and it wouldn't surprise me to see him go in the top 15 given the QB needy teams.

I'll wait until Nightfyre posts his thoughts before I really examine the SR Bowl reviews.

Did you really just compare Bray to Mallet in a negative way?

Mallet, the guy sitting behind Tom Brady, the best quarterback to ever play the game.......

Luck would sit behind Brady, RG3 would sit in his wheelchair behind Brady, as would Geno, as would (arguably) every QB in this league.

Mallett has got all the physical tools to be something special, and he gets to hold the clipboard for the greatest QB to ever play.

Yeah, nothing about Bray and his uncertain future reminds me of how GOOD Mallet has it right now, and how GOOD Mallet might actually be going forward.

In my opinion, you basically lose all credibility as a poster when you try to compare someone in a negative fashion, to a QB of equal or greater talent, sitting on the bench behind the GOAT.

I realize you're grasping at straws, but there's about 75 QB's you can compare Bray to, that have taken a snap since Mallet was drafted, and you choose the one guy who is given the most glorious seat in the house, to negative portray the comparison?

So dumb.

That's true, but people change. I mean, I know I was a bit of a party guy when I was in college.

Dan Marino changed. He's in the best place possible for him to learn discipline. I think he has a lot of potential after sitting on the bench for a few years.

Drew Bledsoe played himself into a super bowl as a starting QB with his slow feet. Mallet is WAY faster. Vinny Testaverde and his slow feet and slow everything has been in the playoffs a few times, didn't really stop him from getting there.

Point is, you'd have to be an idiot to think there is anything negative about the Mallet situation right now. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Favre and took over the reins when he was done. I believe the Pats have their guy when Brady is gone, and like any "follow up" to one of the greats, Mallet will never have the "luster" that Brady had. Won't stop that team from being a perennial playoff team. Which is more than we can say.

I'm not saying he is a shit QB and maybe he has all the tools to become a quality QB or even better, but as of now that's all just bullshit speculation. Which is why I find it funny you slam anyone else's take on Mallet when your only ammo is just more speculation about a guy that's accomplished as much as Stanzi in the NFL.

And ya the guys an off field red flag and I don't think anyone is going to confuse his training and study regimen with Payton Manning. I'm glad he's kept his nose clean so far, but its hardly the case that he is or should be considered a can't miss heir apparent in waiting for Brady

If there was a winner from the quarterbacks group on the day for the North squad it would have to be Mike Glennon. He threw three perfect fly routes that all went for TD’s (Two in 7 on 7 and one in team drills). They were right on the money and perfectly timed throws.

KCUnited 01-22-2013 06:13 PM

Benjamin Allbright from Draftmonsters.com was on 610 reporting from the Senior Bowl, said he was concerned with how thin Glennon is, adding he would likely need to put on 15/20 lbs. He said Glennon looked good with a clean pocket, but his passes became wobbly when forced to move his feet.

That alone scares me. This is the NFL and the speed dictates intelligence and anticipation. There's already been talk that he can freeze up and get flustered if he is feeling pressure. You just can't rely on saying you're comfortable with a guy that can't create when protection breaks down. A lot of guys can look all world in 7 on 7 - which is basically the same as a clean pocket.

He was considered by many to be a 1st round talent. Some thought he was the best QB in the draft, like Belichick.

I didn't say he was Matt Cassel. That doesn't mean I give a rat's ass about him.

I'm still waiting for a successful backup from another team to get traded to a team as a potential franchise QB who wins Super Bowls. I've never ****ing seen that happen. And I doubt Mallett's going to change that. He's not exactly Russell Wilson with everything but size. He's got all that, but he's also a smelly shitass who freezes in the pocket.

Even Matt Schaub recently has shown that he can't be anything more than a game manager. If Houston wants to win anything REAL coming up, they should strongly consider drafting a QB that might fall to their spot in the first round. Worth the shot.

Matt Hasselbeck WOULD count had he won. I will count that as a successful attempt, though. Seahawks certainly did some good things with him. That was a case of a team PAYING for another team's backup with the intent of turning him into a franchise QB.

The greatest one occurred with Brett Favre. I can't name many others, though. Two is all I got.

I'm not sure if Len Dawson was acquired by trade with the Chiefs. I don't think he was.

This. Not very often a QB like Drew Brees gets on the market.

I still think Trent Green was a successful trade and QB for us. We just ****ed it up with the defense. So much talent wasted. :doh!:

We're talking about teams who acquire other team's backups via trade with the intent of them being the franchise QB. Young, Brady, and Warner don't count.

well technically farve would be out too as he wasn't looked at as franchise QB to start either. He was a backup in GB for awhile. I don't think anyone really picks up a backup to be a franchise QB. I don't know much about Dawson but did he come here strictly to be #1 or to compete for #1?

Bullshit. Wolf didn't acquire Favre for a first round pick to have him dick around as a backup.

Majkowski was actually an okay QB. He threw for 4000 yards in a season a couple of times. He just wasn't franchise QB material. The fact that it took three games for Favre to start for the Packers doesn't mean he was viewed as just some Sage Rosenfels prospect.

NC State QB Mike Glennon looks even better today than yesterday. Top QB at Senior Bowl - hands down - in my opinion.

Len Dawson was targeted by Hank Stram when he hit the open market, because Stram knew him well, and knew what his abilities were from their days as player and coach, respectively, at Perdue.

But that was an entirely different era.

There were 20 jobs then.

Evidently, he agrees. This was one of his Halloween costumes:

Not crazy about the dude as the Chiefs potential pick, but at least he has a sense of humor.

So you compare him to Elway?

No, that's not true -- Don Majkowski suffered a season ending injury (ankle tear) and Favre was thrust into the starting QB position, finished the season very well, of course.

correct.. Yes GB gave up a first for farve but they were apparently planning on grabbing him with their first before atlanta took him. He may have been thought about as the future during the draft but once he was taken, he was still a backup in atlanta and came to GB as a backup until Majkowski got hurt. If he was brought in to be the franchise QB he would have came over and started immediately. It's been known that holmgren wasn't to high on farve cause he was a gunslinger and holmgren wanted to try to coach him up to be more of a finesse QB, but when majkowski got hurt holmgren didn't have a choice so he thru him in and the rest in history.

Yep.

That's why I quit my job and started playing powerball every week.

I figured that was a more sure-fire way to make sure I can put food on the table for my family.
