Dude, where does all this s**t about Mallett come from? He was extremely impressive in his interview. He was polite, he was great on the whiteboard, he was really listening to what Gruden was saying and was invested in it...Ryan Mallett is going to shock some people when he makes it to the league and his character concerns melt away and he keeps balling out of his mind!

I think it's a matter of haters trying to nitpick on every single little thing. Just like with Locker's episode. To me, he looked decent. He explained plays pretty well, and he was active on the field. But people don't like him say that he sounded dumb in the episode

Absolutely. Coaches, GMs, and scouts do enough homework on a prospect to know whether they want them on the team or not. They know way more than what we fans see on television.

OK, I watched both Dalton and Mallet's last night. I don't get at all what any of you are saying negatively about Dalton, just seems like a regular ol' Texas boy to me. Maybe that comes off differently in other parts of the country. Mallet though would scare the hell out of me. Very Leafish, I don't think he'll handle media scrutiny well.

you got a link for Mallet's? I missed that one.

The more I see of this QB class the more I think of the 2006 QB class. That class had Young, Cutler, & Leinart at the top & Kellen Clemens, Tarvaris Jackson, Charlie Whitehurst, Brodie Croyle, etc. in the later rds. So out of that draft you have 1 borderline Pro-Bowl level QB, some busts, & a few solid backup QBs. I see about the same results coming out of this draft.

Ha! I like that comparison.

Newton = Young
Mallett = Leinart
Locker = Cutler
Dalton = Clemens
Kaepernick = Jackson
Ponder = Whitehurst
Stanzi = Croyle

Not sure where Gabbert fits in.....

So essentially the only thing similar is the # of qbs.

Yeah seriously, because none of those were good comps.

Good read. I'm still surprised Ponder wasn't invited
