Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Mallet most likely won't go in the first round or anywhere close. Like Lebanon points out, the dude is fallible. Immobility is a huge concern as is his ability to not throw a 10 yard pass 25 yards.

I was just saying that if I was looking for a QB like Crompton and willing to waste a 3-4 round pick on it, I'd wait for Mallet next year. You may not get him, but if that's the case, at least you aren't wasting a 3-4 round pick on a guy that has a very questionable future in the NFL.

But, Mallet, yeah, I can't express how excited I am for next year. He made some throws that were downright [expletive] ridiculous. At the end of the 1st half in the FL game, AR had the ball on like their own 20 with a minute to go. Everyone in the world knows a deep ball is coming, including Florida. Mallet drops back to around the 10; FL is in a cover two I believe with the safety deep. Childs, I believe, runs a straight go pattern right down the right sideline and Mallet hits him on Florida's 35 yard line or so before the safety could get over. It was a frozen rope! I wish I could find it on youtube but alas it's nowhere. One of my favorite moments of the season.

Addressing the arrogance claim, right after that pass, they show a replay of Mallet. He throws the ball and knows it's good so he puts his hands up signaling touchdown. The receiver caught it and somehow got tackled and Mallet waves his hand like wtf just happened.

So....do you like Mallett or not?


I only see him falling to the third if he regresses horribly, gets injured, or both.

After watching Mallett in his bowl game, I'd be scared to even think of asking him to throw a pass in the NFL. He looked just awful to me, but I realize it's one game.

He seems streaky to me and his numbers are inflated due to him wrecking some lowly teams.

But he has competed admirably against some big time SEC defenses so I'm holding out hope.

He must improve his accuracy, somehow. Make better decisions or something. Take away some of his games against piss poor opponents and his already average completion percentage plummets.

QB Ratings against lowly SEC teams (and a Big II team):

Georgia: 184
Alabama: 76
TX A&M: 186
Auburn: 140
Florida: 126
Mississippi: 108
South Carolina: 188
MS State: 167
LSU: 95
AVERAGE: 141

What I meant was you shouldn't be blown away by looking at the stat sheet. I was looking at the 5 TDs against Troy, the 3 TDs against Eastern Michigan and whatnot. I said he performed "admirably" against good SEC defenses anyways.

NCAA QB ratings are different than NFL QB ratings (both are garbage, by the way). Those numbers aren't very impressive.

Besides, look at Tebow if you want to see how worthless college production actually is.

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

I'm not making the argument college production equals NFL success.

I'm simply saying that Mallet's numbers stand up even against good defenses. On average his QB Rating is 152 counting the Eastern Michigans and Troys and MO States. Against the SEC/BigXII, it is 141. Regardless of how useless the stat is, it's not as if he's putting up 300+ against the pooie teams and 25 against the good teams to get that 152 average.

21 TD passes in SEC games alone against 6 INTs with a 51% completion % at 139/275 for 2400 yards or 17 yds a reception. And they played Florida, Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss on the road.

[Lebanon]

I'll admit, it was the wrong thing to say. All good college players, definitely QBs, "get theirs" against poor competition. It all evens out.

21 TD passes in SEC games alone against 6 INTs with a 51% completion % at 139/275 for 2400 yards or 17 yds a reception.

There is a discrepancy between the completed passes and the total yardage, as you pointed out. Barely completing half of his passes but making up for it with big plays. Something to think about.

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

Thank goodness, I was starting to get off track with work looking up more stats.

[Lebanon]

and with that, I'd like to announce that Ryan Mallett has broken his foot.

Out at least 3-4 months.

Bad news for a guy that needs to better his foot work.
