 Peyton last year, Flacco, Wilson, Kaepernick, Sanchize, Cutler, etc..

RW had excellent pocket awareness even in college at UW-Madison, great speed on his feet, & he always understood how defenses tried to neutralize him even as a NFL rookie. 

 

Flacco even at the University of Delaware was tall, strong, had long arms, & very accurate on vertical passes. 

 

Peyton even in his final yr in Denver was superb at killing teams with running plays when most secondaries believed he was gonna throw the ball. It's like he had a knack for doing the opposite just when DCs thought they figured his strategy out. 

 

What made CK so potent in San Fran was that his long legs gave him an incredible stride when he ran like 1 step was the equivalent of 4. My dad always had that gift too. He could cover so much ground in such few steps & that distance allows you access to shorter 1st down conversions & enough room to fit the ball into tight windows before safeties & DBs could close the gap on WRs & TEs. 

 

Sanchez is your best example of a mediocre QB that flourished because of LT's great running ability, Bart Scott's thumper hits, & Reevis Island. 

 

Cutler can make any throw from anywhere even if bad feet placement. His leadership skills suck, but the guy is as tough as a box of rusty nails. 

 

I think Bridgewater has the potential to be very good, but not great. I like the kid, but he doesn't instill fear in me like Brady or Big Ben does. I just don't believe that Teddy can win a must have playoff game in less than 20 seconds right now. Sorry.

I was telling this one to my brother the other day.

 

Mark Sanchez wins the starting job in Denver, and finishes the season with a 2:1 TD/INT ratio. Throwing for over 30 TDs and 3500 yards. Piggybacking off that defense, Broncos go on to repeat as super bowl champions. 

Whoa. What did you smoke?

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
