Saint Doug Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 It's interesting that Chan isn't the one at auburn. Isn't Chan supposed to be the QB guru that can identify and pick good QBs? But, Nix is checking out Mallet instead. Perhaps Chan has seen enough of Cam already. Or, this is just more, get ready, smokescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Mallett is a pure pocket passer, can make every throw. He has some problems resetting his footwork in the pocket but under Chan`s tutelage he should have that fixed. I wonder u say he is a statue and i agree, here`s some other statue`s that he reminds me of Phillip Rivers, Jim Kelly, Dan Marino. Pocket awareness is easy to learn. Tom Brady was the same way. These are the type`s of QB`s that win SuperBowl`s not those Runner Type`s Here`s my prediction Mallett will be the best QB in this draft class. And he will make multiple probowl`s Good observation - the only reason I woudl not touch Newton is he is NOT a pocket passer - his career will be 6 years if he thinks he can run in the NFL like collage. Todays NFL greats are all pocket passers - Brady, Manning, Brees, Rothlesburger...that is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NastyNateSoldiers Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You may be right, I don't know. But regarding Buffalo drafting him, how can you possible use a pocket passer when you have no pocket? Seems like putting the cart before the horse to me. Mallett wont be ready for at least 2 years, that gives our OLine time to develop properly. I think were gonna have one of the best Olines in the NFL by that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correctamundo, I dont know why everybody is trying to find the next Arron Rodgers, He is the complete package, and players like him do not grow on trees.. I guess its because the NFL is a copycat league, but usually the teams that are copying never get it right. WE need to start to create rather than copy, otherwise we are gonna set ourselves back years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hopefully Newton tanks it today. Actually, we should all hope that Newton has a great workout. That improves the chances of his going 1-2, and means one more player falls to the Bills at 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hopefully he'll be there to watch Fairley and not what's his name. I'm guessing he's there to watch both... So Chan is in Arkansas today, I really hope Mallett lights it up again. Second round pick would be excellent value Hopefully Newton tanks it today. I've never subscribed to the idea that Mallett will make it out of the first round, and I'm even moreso convinced now that I'm hearing that the Vikings are strongly considering Jake Locker with the 12th overall pick...somebody (Seattle?) is going to take a QB in the bottom half of round 1. All this means is the man is doing his homework....lets hope he doesn't fall asleep while doing it. Agreed. Are you kidding me? He went for the chicken and waffles! Mmmmmm...I love chicken and waffles; havent' had 'em in a few years, but man they're good. It's interesting that Chan isn't the one at auburn. Isn't Chan supposed to be the QB guru that can identify and pick good QBs? But, Nix is checking out Mallet instead. Perhaps Chan has seen enough of Cam already. Or, this is just more, get ready, smokescreen. Personally, I think it makes sense to send your QB guru to the workout where you're primarily interested in the QB, while your GM attends the workout where you're likely scouting multiple prospects (Newton, Fairley, etc.). Good observation - the only reason I woudl not touch Newton is he is NOT a pocket passer - his career will be 6 years if he thinks he can run in the NFL like collage. Todays NFL greats are all pocket passers - Brady, Manning, Brees, Rothlesburger...that is what we need. I respect your opinion, but Roethlisberger is anything but a pure pocket passer.

sven233 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Can I watch ESPN3.com with Time Warner Roadrunner only? I don't have Time Warner Cable, just their internet. I read online in a lot of cases that you have to have a Time Warner Cable TV package with ESPN in order to access it and that Roadrunner-only customers are out of luck. Please help!

That is most likely the case, but if I were you, I'd click the link anyways. Its really the only way to find out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Pro Day review "I think that if you're not careful sometimes, you'll let the percentage of completions fool you with a quarterback because most of them are zero- to 9-yard passes," Nix said. "You'd like to see him throw the corner routes and the deep routes and see what kind of accuracy he's got with that." Newton powered through 60 scripted throws and then took special requests from some of the league's top coaches. Overall, he completed 54 of 65 passes. Another review Many of the throws were high-percentage. Some were designed to showcase his footwork in the pocket before passing to stationary targets.

ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well he was accurate today in a very windy stadium.... Now I wonder what the anti-Cam Newton crowd will say.. *Shrug* I'm thinking they'll go back to the footwork (that even improved)... Thats the anti-Cam's fall back line...

Thoner7 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Its the main story on Buffalo Rumblings. Cant say Im too happy about it, I think he is gonna bust, but at least it would be more entertaining. Id like to see what Gailey dreams up with this HB/QB hybrid. I think its very likely that we take Newton, because the Bills clearly went after Tebow hard last year and with Gaileys comments, I think he wants to run a full-bore college spread offense.

Bangarang Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Nix should be meeting with everyone that he may draft at #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Bus Cook is the agent for Newton. That's just awesome, maybe Nix can ask about Favre's availability next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Nix should be meeting with everyone that he may draft at #3. Which should be a short list of Bowers, Dareus, and Fairley period. Others including Newton need not apply. Don't screw this up Buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
