Zac Dysert - QB - Miami of Ohio


Recommended Posts

I watch alot of MAC football. Dysert has good size and range. I do think he has upside to develop. He is not NFL ready. From what I saw in his last game against Ball State he needs the get with a good QB coach and work on reading defenses. The kids is worth a look in the late 2nd or early 3rd round.

Could you elaborate more on where you see the connection? I don't see it.

 

No real connection. Just sayin that if Kurt's situation were current (ie... just graduating from college now) that a lot of folks here would say...no thanks, just like Dysert and other qb's mentioned on this board. Understandably so. Sometimes there is a diamond in the rough ......we just gotta fine em. Maybe its Zac.....maybe not. Who knows? Lets hope the staff can figure this out. We've got a real mess at the position.

I would not mind taking Dysert in the 2nd round. The kid is a player. With that being said, why is everybody on this board down on Barkley? I mean what more did you want this kid to do in college? 4 year starter, thrown for over 12K yards in his career, his stats got better every year, can win on the road as his win in one of the toughest venues in all of college football Autzen Stadium against a top 5 Oregon team proved in his junior year, had a QBR of 148 for his career, threw for 148 TDS & had a 64% career completion %. Same with Murray. I know he is not coming out until next year but he has done it for as a 3 year starter. If Barkley is there @ 8 I would not be disappointed at all to see his name called.

 

& before anybody says that USC was not very good this year record wise, their defense stunk & cost them in most of their losses.

I watched that video and I see a first read, dink and dunk college system QB. He seems very good at it, but so was Blaine Gabbert. I worry that the Bills would be hanging their hats on a guy with a "low ceiling". The question I have is if he could ever be any better than an Andy Dalton. I see this guy and that's the type of ceiling I see. If the Bills want to win a championship then they will have to face Brees, Rodgers, Manning, RGIII, Newton or Kaepernick in the Superbowl. I would much rather the Bills pick a guy with a "high ceiling" like EJ Manuel. He has the Newton/Kaepernick "high ceiling" skills we need to look for when we draft our elite QB of the future. We need to roll the dice on greatness, not "he's good enough to get you in the playoffs". I look at guys like Dysert and Nassib and worry that they simply just don't have the "high ceiling" needed to get the Bills a Superbowl win.

I would not necessarily lump Dysert and Nassib together as I think Dysert is considerably more athletic. But I do agree that Manuel is a physical freak in the Griffin- Kaepernick mold.

To me he's the only QB coming out with the total package in regards to skill sets. He's got excellent footwork and throwing mechanics (near perfect), good pocket presence, not a runner but can scramble, good size, experienced, quick release, and a very strong arm. He's got that quick flick strong throw. He takes too many risks probably from a little over confidence in his arm strength or maybe he's just trying to make something happen on a team that needs him to do that. I think that can be coached, where many of the other things mentioned really can't. His pro day is March 21st and I'm sure the Bills will be there. I'd take him in the second round and wouldn't blink. I've debated a few folks around TBD as I understand I'm in the minority. Beyond my eyes (which do decieve me often), I have a gut feeling about this kid. I think with a mentoring type of coach like Marrone and with his skills he's the kind of QB we're looking for. If you haven't familiarized yourself with Zac check him out. Below is a highlight link, but I'd recommend the ohio state game and boise game.

He's definitely not the "talked" about QB prospect this year, but in a class with no standouts he' my favorite QB in this years draft. I think there's a small contingent of fans who are well aware of Dysert, especially after John Murphy had Josh Norris on a couple of times from Rotoworld.com and he gave Dysert some serious props. I recall him saying that Dysert was a top 40 prospect, but this was back in early November. When it comes to judging a QB, I place a huge emphasis on pocket presence, and the ability to make plays in a muddies pocket. I think Dysert is the best of the nuch in this years class at doing just that. I'm also big on accuracy, and hile his accuracy isn't off the charts (which I though Andrew Luck's was last year) I think it is decent. I'm wondering if Josh Norris still thinks he'll go in the top 40. I believe there's a better than 50/50 shot he'll be there for our 2nd round pick, and would love to have him.

Dysert scares me a bit for one big reason. When you watch him try to drive the ball on both inside and outside routes (i.e. those that require zip and not touch), he really has to torque his body to get that mustard on it, which causes him to lose accuracy. It didn't hurt him a lot in college, but in the NFL, when the pace of the game is magnified significantly, he's going to get a lot of those throws batted and/or picked off.

 

To me, he's a guy that is probably a great NFL backup. He can come in and win a few games for you, but if you've got to rely on him to get you through a whole season, he's not your guy.

 

But that's just my opinion...

I've got to disagree with you here on the arm strength. I see very little torque needed or used. He's got a quick release with natural speed on the ball. He stays on top of the ball where you see a guy like Landry leading with his elbow either to much or too long. Also if you look at Geno he has to crouch down to generate velocity, to me Dysert can generate the velocity and still stand up.

 

The evidence of what I'm talking about his he still throws very hard on the run where Torque works against you.

I would take him in the third or with a third pick if we traded back. I have this weird dream that the Bills go bat **** crazy, grab 2 big fast WRs and then find a QB that can get the ball down field. I would not mind picking him up as long as it's not our first 2 picks

I like the kid. Don't think I'd take him in the second though. He doesn't seem to be talked about all that much, so maybe he'll still be around later. Maybe the sleeper QB of the draft ? Could well be. I'd be real happy if they took him. In a later round than 2....after drafting EJ, Matt, Matt, or one of the other prospects. Or, take a FA, and draft Zach. That'd work too I suppose.

 

You can't overlook a kid like this in a year with "questionable" QB talent.

 

Frankly I hope Zach has a horrible pro day. Maybe then we could grab him in the 5th ! LOL !

All your pros/cons indicate Losman Version 2.0 (especially the inaccuracy part).

 

He's not like Losman at all except for maybe arm strength and mobility. But his footwork is light years better and more importantly his pocket presence. I don't think he's inaccurate either. His receivers drop a lot and I mean a lot of balls. He takes gambles so maybe there's another JP similarity, but I don't think I'd draw any conclusions from it.

From what i read, he was on a team with poor receivers and a poor O-Line, and had to be shifty and try to make things happen. I wonder what it will be like if he has at least a semi decent Line to block for him. I'd say something about receivers but we only have 1.....

Care to elaborate? Or is it just the hair?

 

Here's a thought, what if we took Patterson from UT @ 8, then traded back into the mid first round and snagged Dysert? That is of course if Geno and Barkley are off the board.

 

The thought of us trading back into the 1st to take Dysert makes me want to vomit.
