No thank you on Allen. Either sign a QB or draft Lamar Jackson and Saquan Barkley for the Browns. And get a sicker O-Line to give wide holes and all day. K. THNX.

Allen's not ~bad~ per se. He can throw monster deep balls and there's good zip on his throws. Problem is he throws wobblers due to his feet placement when he's constantly scrambling behind Wyoming's line. He's also not the smartest guy on the field and makes a lot of forced boneheaded throws, but this is Wyoming football we're talking about. Their stadium seats less than 30k people for a reason. Losing to Iowa and Oregon isn't completely out of the question even if you have a NFL quality prospect at QB, and that QB performing poorly in those games isn't necessarily all on him. He seemed to clamp down a lot this year which resulted in way less INTs but way less flashiness.

Allen also lost his unsung star RB Brian Hill to the draft last year (went to the Bengals I think) and they replaced him with two dinguses that couldn't establish a run game to save their lives. Their playcalling also got way worse and I remember turning off Wyoming games a few times earlier this year.

But ya anyway he's not a first overall because of his accuracy issues and the lack of production this year but I can see a team falling in love with his arm strength. I'd say he's solidly top 50 right now.

Kizer. Writers and scouts are pumping him up despite poor performance.

Kizer was a good QB prospect. Just because he flamed out on a historically bad team doesn't change that he threw a really pretty ball in college. Most people blamed all the inconsistent play on Kelly and Notre Dame graduating a ton of people in 16, among them his star LT, WR, and RB.

I like Jackson a lot, he seems to be one of the better passers in terms of delivery and speed, also compared to some of the other dudes I like the way he sees the field.

But he's black, skinny, and not tall, and he can run, so I guess he'll end up like Watson.

one big thing i remember before stafford was drafted was talking about how no QB who had failed to get to 60% completion in college ever ended up improving above it in the pros. i dont know if that stat is actually true but i remember a big deal being made of his fairly sub 60% rate.

College stats mean nothing obviously or Mike Leach quarterbacks would have been ruining the NFL for the last 15 years. But has anyone been as dogshit as Josh Allen was in his final college year and done anything in the NFL?

Jake Locker was the poster boy for "well his team let him down" and he sucked. And he was decently better than Allen in a much better conference. Josh Freeman sprang to mind too but he was far better than both in college, I guess I just remember him as really disappointing (I'm sure Jordy Nelson helped in that case).

There were more horrible Hackenberg gifs but I couldn't get them to load, that was a relatively minor one but was funny cus he probably wasn't trying to throw the ball way and the whole dinging the guy in the face.

There was a weird goon rally around the Fever when he was coming out mainly because he was one of those do it all QBs and had a great college statline in the MAC. It was really evident that he had no arm strength and never completed downfield passes. He was king dump off and his scrambling wasn't that good either. All that made him predictably drop in the draft.

Raku posted:

We all watched a lot of Clemson thanks to ESPN and Watson really didn't look that good. He floated passes, had bad footwork, and didn't have the greatest combination of accuracy and arm strength. I didn't think he'd be good at all, much less a ROY/Franchise QB candidate after 8 games. It is kinda a crap shoot sometimes unless your name is Christian Hackenberg.

I don't even hate Hackenberg I just hate that he exists solely to undermine the faith in NFL decision makers.
