Ryan Mallett

[k-oneputt]

He looked pretty damn good to me this past Sunday beating Cleveland.

Hey we could have taken him in the 2011 draft over Kelvin Sheppard.

I know, I know he had bad attitude.
He has a cannon for an arm and he showed it in Cleveland, not that it would have helped playing in Buffalo.

So I guess we can keep developing EJ and hope.

I will say it again. Draft a qb every year until you find on to develop that has upside.

2015 NFL draft, 2nd rd. the Buffalo Bills take Conner Cook.
Let him sit a couple of years learning behind Orton/EJ mess and move on.

Re: Ryan Mallett

If we had drafted Mallett, we never would have been able to trade Sheppard for Hughes, which means the D wouldn't be as good.

And Mallet is even more flat-footed than Orton. He's be a sitting duck behind this Swiss cheese OL.

Re: Ryan Mallett

Ok. I guess we will keep on keeping on with the EJ program.

Wake me up in 3 years when we draft another qb.

Re: Ryan Mallett

Cook says he's going back and if he goes out some are saying he's possible the top pick at QB over Mariota. He's got the best pure arm of any draft eligible QB.

Re: Ryan Mallett

i'm done with over-reacting about QB's performances both good and bad in a small sample of work.

Mallet will reveal his true self over about 10-15 games of regular play. once people have a feel for him, if he doesn't respond to their adjustments, he'll disappear. if he gets better, then good for him

Re: Ryan Mallett

If Mallet is a future franchise qb, why did the Pats let him go?

the word on him in NE was yes big arm but questionable work ethic, resists coaching, slow feet, gets rattled under pressure. He basically never played in NE so we will see, he gets to play now. But my guess is he fails.

Re: Ryan Mallett

he had the strongest arm coming out of college i've seen since Bledsoe. i mean those type of guys are in a class by themselves. there are plenty of strong armed qbs... the number of qbs who make the rest look weak is pretty small. Elway, Jeff George, Favre and Bledsoe all managed it. Mallet's arm definately should be included in that group. In terms of pure strength mind you. I wouldn't start putting him at the level of accuracy or talent of a number of those guys.

You must admit though when the comparison is Tom Brady its hard to measure up.

Re: Ryan Mallett

The next great young QB...who fizzles after a couple games.

Greg Cook and James Harris.

Too bad Cook was injured when surgery wasn't as capable as today. He would have been phenomenal...

But, wait....

Nighttrain told us Mallett was no good.

Re: Ryan Mallett

I like Mallett because I won a lot of money betting for/against him when he was with Arkansas.
