1:03 BULLSHIT: Which NFL QB do the top QB prospects most compare to in skill-set...

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Seen these comparisons thrown around in all the QB threads. I find them entertaining to see who some of the posters think these prospective QB’s best compared to in the pros.

Example: Some see Geno’s game resemble Aaron Rodgers while others see his game resemble…RG3? Tyler Wilson is suppose to be Cutler or Rivers…. And so on.

I just wanted to get them all in one thread…and you draft gurus…go beyond Smith and Wilson. Who does Manuel, Bray, Glennon, etc. all resemble?

Are any of these guys going to be the next Flacco…? He has turned into a decent QB.

Yeah but Matt Ryan did it playing for Boston College.

Glennon did it at freaking NC State.

NC State is a suckass school with no talent on offense at all outside of the QB.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

How would you rank arm strength in this class?

I think we all agree that Bray would be one...then who would your next 3 be?

I assume not reaching his full potential would mean he never got control of his lower body as he drives throws, giving him only adequate arm strength. In the NFL, that will get you pretty far, but it will also not allow you to perceive what's around you in the pocket and step up when you need to. Schaub's problem is also that he just can't hit those timely completions the right way when he needs to make them. I can see Geno being that type of passer if things don't go as planned.

If that happens, he's a less douchy Phillip Rivers.

I have no idea what distinction you're trying to draw here.

If anything it would've been easier for Ryan at BC.

I don't agree with the comparison, but it's an intriguing set of statistics for sure.

IMO, it's Bray Glennon then everyone else.

I don't see the Barkley/Ryan comparison. One of the key problems with Barkley is his size. If he's 6'2 at the combine it's because they haven't made him take his heels off yet. I'd probably say he's probably closer to Drew Brees, for that reason. Not that I expect him to play like Brees as a pro. But then again I didn't expect Brees to play like he has, either.

I see Rodgers and RG3 as ultimately the same kind of QB, and I think it would be valid to compare Geno to either/both.

Bray is half George, half Sanchez.

Wilson is more Rivers than Cutler, I think.

Glennon is Osweiler 2.0. Which would be why I've called him Brock Glennon for months.

I've never been this excited about a draft, I might actually go to the combine this year and watch some men run around in underwear.

Barkley was on the Herd a week or so ago and Colin said he is 6' 1-1/2" and that Barkley was clearly taller than him.

From the Barkley thread:


Barkley next to TJ McDonald (6'3")


Barkley next to Te'o (6'2") and Barrett Jones (6'4")

Romo's probably an okay comparison due to their similar release (speed) and ability to move within the pocket. I think Romo's probably a little heavier.
