Join my Luke Falk Cult!


Roundybout

Recommended Posts

I want in this Cult. When it's all said and done I think Falk will be ranked 4th or 5th in this draft. In my opinion Falk could end up being the best QB in this class. From the articles I've seen he is obsessed with being great. We would be lucky to get him

I was a Mahomes fan, but Falk seems to be a little more composed (no "hero" plays) and Falk reads the entire field. Falk knows when to put touch on his passes and is extremely accurate. Mahomes was a "gunslinger"

Falk has a much weaker arm.

 

However both from the shotgun easy read air raid system

The Bills could use their firsts on skill players then take Falk later on. I believe that he will be a mid first rounder, which means the Bills shouldn't have to trade anything and therefore maximizing our stockpile of picks.

I'd be in favor of taking Falk in a later round and still going with the "stud" QB up high in the draft.

 

Take a few of them all the time until we find one that can play. Then build around that guy at that time.

Are you looking for solidarity in these trying times?

 

Are you expecting a QB high next year but don't know which to go with, or if several prominent names will declare?

 

I believe there is one man next year that will be better than all the rest. His name is Luke Falk, quarterback of Washington State, and I am inviting you to get on the bandwagon right now.

 

"but why should we believe you? Darnold, Allen, and Rosen are the next big things! Who is Luke Falk anyway?"

 

I wanted Luke Falk in last year's draft, but he decided to stay on his senior year. Points right there. He's smart and should be a good leader.

 

He has an NFL body, standing 6 foot 4, weighing 225 pounds. While that is no Big Ben, he's plenty large enough to see the entire field.

 

Speaking of which...

 

Falk operates in the shotgun and he is quick to scan and throw with anticipation. Although he plays in an Air Raid offense, he does read the entire field. He has a very quiet lower body (calm, firm base) and a smooth release. He has tremendous touch at all three levels. Leach gives him a lot of responsibility in the offense and he has handled it extremely well.

Daniel Jeremiah's report glows over his read skills and touch on the football. While he may not have the best arm, he is perfect at short-to-medium range throws over the middle of the field. While not a mobile passer, he can move around the pocket as needed. Perfect for our system?

 

I want you guys to take a look at this tape against Arizona State.

 

 

 

 

Right off the bat, notice how Falk keeps his head moving and scans the whole field. He hangs in the pocket and finds the open man cleanly.

 

1:41 and 2:27 shows he can run with the ball too.

 

He is almost picked off a couple times, something to keep in mind, and I am a bit concerned about decision making at times, but throws such as at 2:52 show his skill at anticipatory throws over the middle.

 

3:18 again, watch how he hangs in the pocket even under pressure.

 

I'll let you guys watch the rest. This is one of his rougher games. Arizona St. was bringing a lot of heat this game. I still think there is a lot to like.

 

 

To conclude, I think the Bills might be wise to take a good, long look at Luke Falk. A big man with great touch and field smarts seems right up McBeane's alley. Look for this guy to rise up the draft boards in 2018.

 

GhostOfBillsPast: I want to see fifteen QB's next year who could be NFL franchise level, but this tape had me like :sick:

Our future QB has a great drive to win too:

the senior from Logan, Utah, just doesn’t get the same attention as the others. Much like Brady was many years ago, Falk remains overshadowed among rivals — a nearly permanent condition for him since joining WSU as a non-scholarship player in 2013.

“That’s because of media base,” Cougars head coach Mike Leach said of Pullman’s much smaller media market. “Through his career, he’s done more with less, and he’s by far the most productive. And he’s starting to get a better cast.”

Right or Wrong he is going to get downgraded and knocked for the Air Raid Offense

Just like Dak for never taking a snap under center/that DWI thing or Wilson for being too tiny. I just hope that the powers that be can see the good and not draft another TJ Graham.

I am not knocking him, but I also don't think he is graded high enough at this point to be taken were I think we are taking a QB, yet anyway

As of right now I could see Falk going second round, maybe late first depending on the QB rush. There may be a lot more interested in drafting a QB high, like the Steelers or Chargers.

 

That said, I am not going to pretend to know anything about "draft grades" or rankings or whatnot.

 

McBean might want to use those 2 firsts on WR/OL help then grab Cool Hand Luke with one of the seconds. Risky game though.

QB should come first then the WR and other players. Outside Zone, WCO OL can always be found all over the draft you do not and really should not draft them high

I agree with your statement.

 

I've been a fan of Falk's since he was a sophomore, yet I think he's more of a second round pick than a first, unless there is a run on QB's.

 

That doesn't mean that Falk cannot become a successful NFL QB. I think he is a player that you have on your team as a rookie to watch and learn for a year. It would be a big mistake to have him be a starter right away.

Do this mean the Bills have to keep Tyrod then?

Not ready to join the cult. But is moving up in my rankings

He might not be my first choice...but he might be the one we can get...I'm curious about his leadership qualities...I have seen some of his interviews, and while seemingly intelligent, he doesn't seem to really strike me as a "take charge" type of leader- very soft spoken, mild mannered, and "boring" according to his coach...the Bills will have to find out if they think he can command a huddle...I would luv if he had Peterman's intangible qualities of leadership.
