Small hands, weird delivery. When was the last time a USC QB won the SB...exactly!! I don't think he's gonna drop. Unless he drops his drawers and pisses on the table at their interview (or equivalent), Browns tune out the Allen hype and take Darnold. Edited February 28, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan 1

aristocrat Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 reminds me too much of bortles and winston. will throw for yards and tds but the picks will come with it and the fumbled. just don't see him lasting unless he goes to a serious qb whisperer. even then not worth the risk top 5

The worst statistical record of any coach who got to see their 40th game. The Browns had a 1 percent chance of going winless in 2017 yet he managed to do it. He is horrible. Until he is gone they are still on the wrong track. Dorsey can blame Sashi all he wants but they did add pieces and still regressed.

oldmanfan Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I guess I don't understand why someone would not throw. If it's to protect himself from looking bad, what kind of signal does that send to teams? I understand it may not really affect things that much, just seems odd that guys who have played football since they've been little kids are concerned that for a day or two they'll forget how to throw.
dollars 2 donuts Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) I know I am late to the party on page 5 with this and I get why Darnold and others guys would do this, but I still think this is such a cop out by top prospects. If you are a QB (supposedly a great one) and you are healthy you should always be ready and willing to put the ball in the air. As a matter of fact and I may be going too far with this, if you show up at the combine and you are not injured I would make it mandatory that you participate in all facets of the combine, including the workouts.

That's difficult though If somebody has a minor injury that teams are aware of then probably not good to make that mandatory He's also scheduled to throw at the USC pro day Let's also remember than many of these guys have tape people can watch I think the biggest combine gain is physical performance (40, etc) Even that is crap though imo, it should be run with pads on A stronger guy might only lose 0.1 off his 40, vs a skinny burner losing more with pads ? 1

SNYfan I hear you, buddy. However, I do stress that they don't have an injury and I know there are other ways to see them, but the main thing being they should always. be ready. and willing. to throw. If they are church goers and someone grabs them after Sunday mass while they are in a button down and wearing loafers and asks them to throw I want them to say, "give me the rock, the pancake breakfast can wait."

I agree and with all the high picks they have this year, I think that they will show great improvement in 2018. I think they could get to 8-8.

I'm with you on all that!! I think making it mandatory might cause too much push back

This is a big red flag that he won't throw! Then I look at the teams past history of very highly touted failures at QB with Carson Palmer as the only exception and he has never played in a SB much less won one. A Heisman trophy winner with two pro bowls and three playoff appearances in a Thirteen year NFL career. He is the best the NFL has seen out of USC. Then you have Mr. Butt Fumble Mark Sanchez. Three time all American Matt Leinart, Cody Kessler, Matt Barkley, John David Booty, Todd Marinovich, Rodney Pete, Sean Salisbury. USC QB's have two great things going for them at draft time. They posses the physical talent and potential to make it and play in the NFL and they won enough college games to keep them as the starter. The biggest thing that USC does is with their great recruitment that the supporting cast around the QB is usually excellent and usually is enough to give their QB a big advantage. So far that hasn't equated to success in the NFL at the highest level. The odds that the Bills find a franchise QB out of this years draft even with the second pick in the draft is only less than a 30% chance of success. If they are smart the bills would go big into the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes unless they have supreme confidence in their new scouting dept.
