ajzepp Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 This really caught my eye Often regarded as just a thrower, Mallett also has an innate ability to read defenses. Wright recalls that Mallett once told a scout-team linebacker that he was out of position and that he needed to move over prior to the snap. “Ryan is really smart,” Petrino says. Fox Sports-Mallet *ahem*...uh, sorry. :lol:
707BillsFan Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Too Tall. No QB taller than 6'6" has ever succeeded in the NFL. He better find a way to shrink a bit. I wouldn't risk it. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1208/is_10_229/ai_n12935001/ (old, but still relevent as I heard several comments about this today on sports talk)

BillsRUs Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 hmmn...Ark run D reminds me of our very own Bills
LancasterSteve Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 My friend, Mallett doesn't win big games. He starts off looking strong in the first quarter, maybe first half, and then he craps the bed. There is no mystery about this kid. We shall see. Big time arm no doubt but I keep thinking this kid is Bledsoe lite...real lite. His accuracy went out the window with a pass rush pressuring him. I also did not see much if any escapability or roll-out ability to avoid a sack. Behind this Bills offensive line he would look even worse. No way in hades will Nix have this kid rated high enough for the 3rd overall pick.
BillsRUs Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 damn...Mallet has absolutely no protection at all..
BuffaloBill Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 damn...Mallet has absolutely no protection at all.. He'll feel at home on the Bills then.
NoSaint Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 It is truly amazing watching how bad his receivers are. ive seen a few games and been unimpressed by them but jeeeze. Amazing his completion percentage is that high!

I call BS. Edited January 5, 2011 by Zulu Cthulhu
Beerball Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 GREAT td throw Yeah, he's got the fade & back shoulder fade...might have even made something of James 'Frankenstein' Hardy.
ajzepp Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 That throw was definitely big time...could he be mounting a comeback???
mrags Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 His demeanor for the rest of the game will tell a lot. This next 30 minutes of football will have a huge impact on his immediate future. So far, even with some bad recieving, he is showing he can pull his team back from being down. I really hope he wins this and gives everyone a little something to think about.

I really hope he wins this and gives everyone a little something to think about. I hope so too (just in case we do draft him)...but what is far more likely is that Mallett will yet again tease the faithful, and then throw a killer pick-6 to end the game.
Virgil Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 So, if I had to make an evaluation of him right now, I'd say a Bledsoe/cutler hybrid with a touch of Leaf crazy
Zulu Cthulhu Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Christ it's difficult to judge when the guy has had no time to throw and SO many drops. I agree with the Bledsoe comparison tho. Footwork sliding around in the pocket is a bit stiff.
KD in CA Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 btw...there are people who think Terrell Pryor can be an NFL QB?? The guy has been afraid to throw a pass the entire second half. The running thing works fine in college, but his future is in Canada.
