Damn I was really looking forward to watching him play. His stats looked very good but wanted to see him in person. He had good coverage on that play though.

Yes, and unlike shoulder or leg/knee related injuries, this one is really not as big of a deal or as hard to overcome. He could play with a cast on his hand if it wasn't too bad of a break. It shouldn't hurt his stock too much, because it doesn't impact his coverage ability.

So guys, what about the questions about accuracy.

I don't see it here anyway. He's been spot on from what I have seen.

No?

I can see him under Harbaugh. If anyone can get this kid to learn the WCO, it would be him. Mallett, Gabbert, and Luck all have impressed this week. Next up, Newton.

Wouldn't that be something! The first time we may have four QBs in the top 15. Right now, I wouldn't be mad with any of those four even Mallett who was the last QB in my rank of the four (like that says anything).

#7 Looking good for QB! I know it's early, but damn!

Nice accurate throw on the run. Plenty of very good nfl QB's are slow as molasses but the question is if he can move his feet enough to be able to move in the pocket. So far so good.

I really don't know where the accuracy issue comments came from for Mallett.. I think people just like to take a few instances from an entire season to try to prove a point that is completely invalid.

Mallett has never really had an issue with that. What his issue has been is questionable decision-making, especially under pressure. There are also some questions about his attitude and whether or not he's much of a likeable player, etc. .. but that's really less of an issue.

This is in my opinion up there with the 2004 draft in terms of QB talent. It's going to be hard to top Rivers, Roethlesberger and Manning in terms of production but the talent is up there.

Ryan Mallet looks blah--I want Andrew Luck !

His line is getting freaking manhandled. He's a pocket passer who isn't terribly mobile. There's nothing he can do about that.

This game is quickly getting out of hand -- Pryor launching bomb after bomb for TD's. They clearly have zero respect for Arkansas DBs. This game is basically over.

Pryor looks amazing. I can't imagine him coming back to Ohio St. after tonight.

All you have to do is rush Mallet hard and not worry about him running just like the announcer said. I don't see Arizona or any other team drafting him over Newton or perhaps even Gabbert.

Good 3rd down pass while flushed from the pocket. Then followed by a bad pass. He's not fast but he's also not Drew Bledsoe out there.

1.the arkansas' WRs are morons.
2.heyward is a beast...seems to have some merriman-roids in the veins.

Even though they're losing by 18, I'm really impressed by Mallet. His receivers are dropping passes left and right and his line is getting manhandled. But the guy is showing ability to move around the pocket and even when flushed from the pocket a little is still able to make an accurate throw. The guy has good feet.

And Pryor has been up and down imo. He's made some really good plays but also some bonehead ones and hasn't been all that accurate on many throws, thereby limiting his receivers YAC.

Basically, get him a great OL and let him develop, and he'll be a star.
