PSU_Mouse Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Ok Penn State fans - What are your thoughts on drafting Michael Robinson. Definitely not in the 1st, but 3rd-4th Round??? I'm not sure what his future NFL stock is, or what position he'd be good for. But I think that he might actually have a chance as an NFL QB - provided he has time to learn and get better. And I think he might not be a horrible 3rd stringer while he learns. Before you say I'm crazy - I think coaching and getting reps is critical to a QB's development. and no matter what you think about sam wyche and MM's work with JPL - its gotta be better than one year under Jay Paterno. And if it doesn't work out??? Well, he might be a good strong safety - just ask that Minnesota DB how hard he can hit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 "Illinoise" (isn't that how it's said, Coach Zuck?) game notwithstanding, I have serious concerns about Robinson's accuracy and poise in the pocket. Maybe now that he has more talent around him, and he's been able to concentrate on one position, this will get corrected, but I just don't know. I still see him over/underthrowing wide open players @ times, and waiting a bit too long to release the ball instead of just taking off and using his God given ability. Hmmm.........holding onto the ball too much; where have I seen this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 i love the guy and root for him every week. but i don't think he's got what it takes for the NFL. That said, if he's there in the 7th or UDFA, give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 As a QB? Doubtful, for the reasons Rich mentioned. If he's inconsistent vs. the better Big 10 teams, I don't see him being any better at a higher level of competition. I'm thinking CFL (if he wants to stay at QB), or maybe a Slash-type role in an NFL offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
