gumby73 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 We talked late last year about Kizer, so we all miss. Or they missed on coaching a kid up? Am thinking the card reads Darnold..Unless Haley & Hue want to take on the Rosen mind challenge game..agree on Allen's potential, but Hue may never see it in time..maybe Dorsey does?

Agree on the start of your post... you can't mix in outputs like "accuracy" with inputs like footwork. That said... The big issue I have with your analysis is that Allen footwork isn't bad... in fact on most throws it's quite good so long as he targets his primary in rhythm. If he doesn't, or can't, then Allen tends to twist his torso rather than move his feet in the direction of the ball's new destination. Put another way his feet are not connected to his eyes and that creates problems. He's much better off on the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach up plan A - OK kid we know you had two years as QB in college and we were a 1-15 team last year and we have no real WRs and you will lose your #1 OL guy (oh didn't know that yet).....so here's the ball and we'll figure it out as we go.

jrb12711 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 You know someone was talking to mr the other day and it really got me thinking. We keep saying we want a guy like big Ben, and the comparisons to Allen are obvious. But when you think about it, since ben and before Wentz how much guys like big Ben have actually turned out to be franchise guys? It's an interesting thought experiment cause in my head I got no one. I think, as I've noted before, is a signal of how the game is changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, as I've noted before, is a signal of how the game is changing. It was mentioned previously but probably the best comparison to Allen in the pros is Cam Newton. Though Camshaft is 1" taller and 25 pounds heavier. Career 58.5% completions and 85 QBR. As Tour pointed out (and I knew all along) comparing Roethlisberger's accuracy to Allen's in college is a joke. If Josh was completing his passes at a 65% clip, he'd be in the Andrew Luck lock #1 category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it mean Hue and whoever drafted him in the second round should have waited until the 4th? It's the same crazy thing I'm seeing with Allen. Josh's one special trait has him being touted around 90 slots too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Speaking of thought experiments, I’ve been floating this one around the office. Apologies if it’s been discussed, I’ve been gone. This is a year where there’s really no consensus #1 but four or five potential first round guys with either great resumes or abnormal physical tools. What is holding each prospect back from being the consensus #1? What I get is: For Rosen, he’d be the consensus #1 if not for his personality and concussion concerns. For Darnold, he’d be the consensus #1 if not for an elongated windup and a less-than-stellar final year. For Allen, he’d be the consensus #1 if his career completion percentage was 5% better. For Mayfield, he’d be the consensus #1 if he were three inches taller. For Jackson, he’d be the consensus #1 if he were heavier and slightly more accurate.

Today Ben's pretty much alone when it comes to a history of defenders hanging off of him as he throws. Even the Camster goes down if he's wrapped up. Culpepper was very much in the Ben mold (or Ben's in his). Wentz (who I overlooked) may be there, but he has more elusiveness that Ben ever did and may be more like a young Dante. The other QBs with size don't play that big. Actually surprised me to see Rivers is 6'5 and 230-ish. And that's the vein in which I mentioned Flacco and Bortles.

Been discussed piecemeal, but not as an organized experiment to my recollection... Rosen's concussion has been more of a universal thing while personality has been ~32%. Darnold? At least for me it's general mechanics. Allen... for me a combo of issues that don't add up to NFL-grade QB. Baker... height plus a hint of a$$hole. Jackson... a running QB.

Welcome to the 2018 NFL QB Draft, but with all of the teams in the hunt for warm bodies wearing the small uniform numbers they will go quick.....I guess. Ironically it is a pretty loaded draft outside of that. Too bad the BROWNS have to waste, blow, throw away use a #1 pick on one. I need a new dead horse, mine has turned into dust.

It wasn't that long ego (pre-hindsight 20/20) there was a HUGE "Fail for Cardale" contingent when he was only 3 starts old leading the Buckeyes to a National Championship. Outside of the enormous difference in competition faced, he had a lot of similarities to Josh Allen in the ideal arm strength but accuracy issues. Cardale wrist flicked some of the most beautiful deep passes I've seen without the need for ideal feet/mechanics at least within that short span. For those with their hearts set on the bionic arm with no need to worry about accuracy kind of QB - we can prolly get Cardale in the very near future at the NFL price equivalent of an Aldi's box of Cheerios if this is all we want again. He's also used to backing up Tyrod Taylor. In the whole scheme of things - is it really any more outrageous than people refusing to bigger picture why Josh Allen has never exceeded mediocrity in high school (as depicted in Major DI scholarship offers) and in college? Now Allen is being pushed all the way up to upper first round consideration/temptation where bad NFL teams are allegedly offering him way easier success? Make sense? It shouldn't. And if he's a project somebody has to wait a year or 2 before there's any comfort starting him - is he really any different than Cardale? Based on what I've seen, coaching up accuracy from someone that has never been accurate is about as easy as seeing a tiger change its stripes. Like him or laugh at him, the biggest thing I ever saw Mel Kiper get right was "beware the last minute risers that surface especially when the football stops being played."

Which of those concerns is the easiest to fix at the pro level? No one is getting taller. No one's personality is going away or is getting a clean concussion chart. Accuracy is one of the hardest improvements to make when you jump to the pro level (I think we can all agree at some level on that ... my first foray in this thread, I assume that is the core of all this discussion). Darnold needs some tinkering, some ball security improvement ... Ok ... Meet Hue Jackson, Todd Haley, Mike Zampese, Drew Stanton ... watch Tyrod Taylor, one of the best ball control QBs in the league for a season. Darnold is a gunslinger with a gunslinger mentality ... NFL coaches' job to refine that without losing what you like about him in the first place. He's got a lot of Favre in him. Cool. Personality: He's a dirt dawg ... teammates will love him. Health: Pretty clean Accuracy: 65% at Major program Size: Tall and thick In my opinion, he is the cleanest prospect, and, also in my opinion, the Browns are going to call his name #1. We are breathing a lot of smoke right now, but by the day before the draft it will be written on the walls. Best QB on the board. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
