Astrobot Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Quarterback Guru Bob Johnson is preparing Colt McCoy, Sean Canfield and Zac Robinson, and was interviewed recently. I've added my own info. Johnson says Jimmy Clausen will be the best QB in this draft. Pro style set, coached by Weis, can work under center, strong arm, pretty accurate, good intangibles, is he a one year wonder, toe injury prevents workout until pro day, improved on TD numbers, reduced INT's this year, hard throw when more touch is needed, wrong foot sometimes, not that tall (he's not 6'2" and combine will show this), a lot of completions made outside the hash marks, may have difficulty in traffic over the middle, some coaches will be enamored with the arm strength and underemphasize the potential INT's resulting from difficulty over the middle (see Jamarcus Russell). Sam Bradford, better height, more NFL-ready, heady field general, quick decisions, quick release, 6'4", wide frame, room to get bigger, get stronger, amazing accuracy (better than Stafford-Sanchez), shoulder injury cleared medically but will injury flare up again in real fire, mental makeup better than Clausen Washington can't and won't pass up on one of these two above, according to Johnson. LeFevour will probably be 3rd QB picked. System QB, manages field, cool in the pocket. A four year starter, RB in high school, good fit with a West Coast Offense, won ropes competition in QB competition, Dual threat, pass-run, throws well on the run, did well under center, most likely early 2nd rounder. Ball placement, elusive when he tucks it in. Pike didn't help himself in the Sr. Bowl, above average arm, 2nd rounder. Can get bigger. Colt McCoy could be 4th picked but needs to come back from injury, , Ball placement, elusive when he tucks it in. Take him over Tebow. Didn't do well against Okla or Nebraska, questions about Arm strength for long throws, underrated athlete, quesitons about size and whether he can get bigger (thin frame and has alwready bulked up), not weaker arm than LeFevour, below Pike and LeFevour, not a starter from the get go. Johnson thinks Tim Tebow is the Great question mark, 3/4 delivery and holding ball down the side, doesn't anticipate, a project, won't make an impact at any position (Hback, TE, RB, QB) in the first year. Fluttering passes. Athleticism wasn't there in Sr. Bowl with all NFL ready people around him. Will be covered well at the combine b/c he's one of the best college players ever. Wacth agility testing at combine to see where he'd slot in, particulary in a Wildcat-type formation. Jevan Snead 20 TD 20 INT this year but better (2:1) as junior, could profit the most from coaching him up, all the tools physically, great potential, needs to get head up, rifles the ball at <20 yards, totally missed the landing area in QB distance competition, good mobility, no supporting cast at his school, needs a great QB coach and more conifdence, good on ropes (2nd to LeFevour), needs 2 years of coaching up, was higher last year but had bad season this year and scouts need to ask about why that happened. Could drop to 4th round with the wrong answer. Good arm but bad mechanics, not good under pressure, has trouble lobbing a pass over defender, 6'3" 220 . Sean Canfield - a southpaw (role of RTackle critical and we just lost ours), 68% pass completions, Pro Style but no under center experience, a backup as a junior, not as good on the run as LeFevour McCoy and Robinson, passes often are low, missed target at 40 yards yard line in QB competition. Sleepers in 5th or later: Jarrett Brown --ton of promise at Senior Bowl, outperformed Tebow, steps into throw, strength, speed, one year wonder, needs reps, team with no need at QB should take him and mold him, needs a good QB coach and time to develop. Skelton--big arm low accuracy, Shrine Game didn't impress, may not be drafted, suffers from Jay Cutler Disease, takes chances and suffers as a result, needs more touch or arc than the bullet, use feet more, needs lots of harness and discipline to not throw into tight coverage. Jonathan Crompton--NFL arm, mechanics are there, needs seasoning, get mechanics to next level, didn't get combine invite, all the ability and footwork, body in right position, good leadership abilities, NFL arm, can make all the throws, very inconsistent, 27 TDs as senior after only 9 combined from the 3 years before, not a good game in Chick Fil A Bowl or Texas vs Nation, needs a good QB coach to take him further. Hiller--big arm, prototype NFL build, needs to get up to speed, could be a project, get in 5th round, less accuracy, Kafka--hard line drive down the seam , good tight window, air under throws, had poor receivers, good backup potential, Wildcat ability, less upside as a starter, but a Jim Sorgi type who could be long term backup. Canfield--not showing good arm strength, may not be drafted or drafted in RD7, needs weight room, lanky, one year wonder, impressive vs USC, hit receivers in stride but suffered in inclement weather, sometimes not anticipating well, Ironically Zac Robinson wasn't mentioned by Johnson. Works from a spread offense, exceeded expects at Senior Bowl, good in Wildcat, won the distance competition but inaccurate on bombs, handles pressure well, great Junior year but off in his senior year, a Denver native used to cold weather, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Read about Colt McCoy. Consider whether his negatives prevent him from being a good NFL QB. He may not be THE franchise, but I liked his bio for a non-1st round guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 I am a fan of the "build the lines and wait a year" philosophy, but if we brought in Bradford-Clausen, Zac Robinson, Dan Lefevour, or Colt McCoy, I would support them 100%, hoping that they get time to develop under our QB coach. I'm not too big on the others, and least sure about Pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
