The Ryan Mallett Bandwagon

I bet Mallet has bigger hands than Alex Smith too

The SEC is by far the most overrated conference in college football. Outside of the Manning bros. and Cutler what current NFL QBs are there? As many come totally nowhere like Roethlisberger (Miami, Ohio) Flacco (Delaware) and Romo (Eastern Illinois). Brees and Brady are from the Big 10. Rivers and Vick the ACC. Sanchez, Palmer, Cassell and Rodgers the Pac 10. Bradford and Freeman the Big 12. But face reality folks, you are no more likely to get a great QB from an SEC school than anywhere else.. the conference has no advantage in developing QB talent.

Well, there's also Stafford and a few others, but that's not really the point.

No one ever claimed that the best QBs come out of the SEC, but defensively, the SEC is loaded with pro talent. Consistantly playing well in the SEC means something.

^ I know people get tired of hearing about the SEC talent, but you can't deny it. By conference, the SEC constantly has more players drafted each year, including 49 players last year. Performance against their defenses are probably the best barometer we have.

Mallet may be the guy we look for at QB in this draft, if Luck is gone or does not come out.
Look at the highlights. Looks like a Aaron Rodgers/Roelisberer type

Please put in your resume for the GM position. If that's not the best way to analyze a prospect then I don't know what is.

I see lockdown on this thread

Please explain to me (either in this thread or through PM), why this could not be put in the Ryan Mallet bandwagon thread?

im starting to like the idea of drafting him

If Luck doesn't declare, I could see him going #1 to Carolina. They desperately need a QB and he's the best option after Luck.

I'm hoping we land him though.

Dude really? Dont get me started. Im guessing you dont watch much college. And you live on an iceberg, where all you watch is Cannadian Football. To say the SEC doesent produce a massive amount of talent is hysterical...

Ryan Mallett's concerns really worry me. Issues with accuracy and how he acts away from football remind me of Ryan Leaf. Strong arm and can make all the throws but accuracy isn't quite there with the top guys and he's a cocky ass.

Maybe he's just a young kid and is improving and growing up but concerns like that make busts out of top qbs.

He actually has a really good work ethic and has completed 66% of his passes this year. I feel like you're just saying a stereotype made by ESPN.

I've watched several of his games and his accuracy is not as good as the number indicated. I see his receivers having to adjust to the ball too often to consider him an accurate qb. It's not terrible but it's not something that makes me confident about him getting the ball into tight spots consistently.

As for the work ethic as I don't know him personally I'm going by what I heard. I also don't know where you got "work ethic" from my post. From everything I heard about the guy he's not the nicest guy around and is a cocky ass, while that's not always a bad thing I don't want to draft a guy who would be withdrawn from the team.

I have watched him play a lot and read on some sites that he's percieved wrong, his teammates like him a lot and he works really hard. I'm also not sure where people are getting the idea that he's such a jerk? It's not like he's gotten punched in the face like Jimmy Clausen or been acting like Matt Leinart.
