Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 There are only four QBs in the draft that are worth drafting, all others are a complete waste of time: 1. Colin Kaepernick, Is the most raw but the best upside, looked good in the games I saw rocket arm, wheels, stays calm under pressure, Similar to Vic but not quite as explosive. 2. Blaine Gabbert, Good Athlete can make plays on the run reminds me of Roethlisberger but better runner and not as big. 3. Ryan Mallet, BIG arm, good decision maker, more mobile than given credit for, not good under pressure will need a good line for protection, like Bledsoe who was a great QB for many years. 4. Andy Dalton, 4 yr starter, good at everything great at nothing, next Eli Manning. I am going with Kaepernick anywhere after first and Robert Quinn at 3.
Shamrock Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 2. Blaine Gabbert, Good Athlete can make plays on the run reminds me of Roethlisberger but better runner and not as big. Hmmm. Maybe a roughie, how about Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State. Remonds me of Michael Vick, except White, or Steve Young, except Right handed or John Elway, except not as durable, or Jim Kelly, but not as tall... sorry, but, you were open...
JStranger76 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I am starting to lean towards Quinn myself. Play him at OLB or DE, I don't really care. Get one more NT and ILB in free agency and round two and that is a solid foundation for a great defense.
papazoid Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 i seriously believe the Bills will use their 2nd round pick on a QB....Colin Kaepernick.

And it ain't Kaepernick

Is "given credit for" what they are calling Frankenstein these days?
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Ponder is going to be in the conversation for some team in the top two rounds. I don't think Kapernick is going to hype himself that high in the draft, unless a team with a semi-established QB wants a 2 to 3 year project.

dollars 2 donuts Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I don't want anything to do with Mallet anymore. I just am too worried about him being Ryan Leaf 2.0.
ieatcrayonz Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I don't want anything to do with Mallet anymore. I just am too worried about him being Ryan Leaf 2.0. His mood swings may be able to be managed by adjusting the bolts in his neck.
NoSaint Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I love when people take 4 mid round qbs and compares them to or calls them all the next big ben, Eli, Vick and Bledsoe. You know, 3 guys that went #1 and one that fell to about 10. Other then Gabbert it's wholly possible that 3 of them are on the board still on day 3. Edit: I know Gabbert isnt mid round. Probably mid first. Edited February 9, 2011 by NoSaint
Bangarang Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) IMO Colin Kaepernick is too raw and needs a ton of work on mechanics and throwing motion to use our 2nd round pick on. I do like that his completion % improved with each year. However, he doesn't play against the stiffest of competition. During the Senior Bowl week, he showed very good velocity in his throws and had good mobility. His throwing motion is just a mess. Because he's probably a 2-3 year project, I'm not taking him before the 4th round. The upside is there, but we need to get some instant starters with our 1st couple of picks and he's not one of them. Also, of the 4 QB's listed, I think Gabbert is going to be the better NFL QB of them all. Edited February 9, 2011 by Bangarang
showmeSP Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 3. Ryan Mallet, BIG arm, good decision maker, more mobile than given credit for, not good under pressure will need a good line for protection, like Bledsoe who was a great QB for many years. I was under the impression that Mallet's decision making is one of his biggest faults. Maybe it's just me?
Bangarang Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I was under the impression that Mallet's decision making is one of his biggest faults. Maybe it's just me? You are correct. Mallett gets bashed for making bone headed decisions a lot. He relies too much on his arm at times.
nodnarb Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The waste of time in your list is Mallett. You're leaving out one very good prospect who I believe will be a guy described as "shooting up draft boards" just as there always is. Delaware QB Pat Devlin.
NewEra Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 i seriously believe the Bills will use their 2nd round pick on a QB....Colin Kaepernick. If Phil Taylor is on the board, that won't be happening
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I'd only count 1 on that list. And it ain't Kaepernick it ain't Stanzi ... unless a team with a semi-established QB wants a 2 to 3 year project. Fitz I was under the impression that Mallet's decision making is one of his biggest faults. Maybe it's just me? when he is not under pressure. The waste of time in your list is Mallett. You're leaving out one very good prospect who I believe will be a guy described as "shooting up draft boards" just as there always is. Delaware QB Pat Devlin. Devin won't make it in the League.
Maddog69 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 just curious why the OP left Cam Newton off the list. He is on every list of first round graded QBs you find by all of the draft experts. He has unique physical skills and has won 2 national chanpionships and started every game over the last 2 seasons. I would be interested to hear why you would not even consider him 'worth drafting'
Turbosrrgood Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I am going with Kaepernick anywhere after first and Robert Quinn at 3. I'd be ok with Quinn i guess, better than VM. Kaepernick scares me as a JP Losman type... Hmmm. Maybe a roughie, how about Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State. Remonds me of Michael Vick, except White Uhh, what? Not seeing it, Ponder is somewhat mobile...but Vick? Ponder is one of the most average QB's being talked about in the draft, and he was on a historically good FB team with solid recruiting. Vick at least looked good in college, watching ponder reminded me a lot more of Trent Edwards....
