greeneblitz Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 agree with the OP 100%, he has Ryan Leaf written all over him, great talent but terrible personality and attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaista2k Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Just to reiterate I'm not totally against Rosen. I did seem him make a lot of nice throws and do some good things. He's just not quite as good as I was expecting based off what I've heard people say about him. Combine that with his durability issue's and I think he's a risky pick. If the Bills pick him I'll trust it but I'll just be a little nervous about it. Edited March 13, 2018 by Klaista2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 9 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: Rosen's the least likely to bust imo. Darnold and Mayfield may have more upside, but I'll believe Rosen will have an Eli Manning type career. So just two Super Bowls during a Hall of Fame career? Shucks. Rosen had a bigger comeback than Reich when he was in Miami. It's called foreshadowing people. Plus he's really the only QB that I've seen that can alter his throwing motion and deliver an accurate ball. No broken mechanics, accuracy problems or size issues. He completes over 60% of his passes when facing the blitz. Sign me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked robotic in the pocket, threw some very ill advised passes. Looked awkward under pressure. That wasn't a highlight reel. It was just 1 game. He went 35-59, with 491 yards and 4 touchdowns. They were down by 34 points near the end of the 3rd quarter. He led 5 straight touchdown drives (of 66 yards or longer) to score 35 unanswered points and win the game. It was the 2nd largest comeback victory in NCAA history. He was absolutely brilliant. I would highly suggest watching the game on YouTube sometime for anyone that's interested (or at least the 3rd and 4th quarters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was his worst game of the year, but it looked worse than EJ. I’ve also seen him look amazing at times. I must say, the video of him not only missing pocket 1, 2 or 3 in the net.....but the ENTIRE NET was eye opening. I’m not saying he’ll be a bust. I just have serious concerns and don’t want to get carried away based on measurable. The one guy doing the video analysis made me laugh with “can you imagine if the NBA rated players on how hard they could throw the ball at the rim?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did college completion percentage become the main criterium for NFL success? 56 percent is really low, and completion percentage doesn't tend to go up a ton between college and the NFL. If you think you're okay with an NFL QB throwing in the mid to high 50s percentage wise, I suggest you take a look at completion stats in the league last year.

Most college QB's below a 59% career completion percentage drafted in the 1st round are a bust. Michael Vick being the outlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have arm strength but poor ball placement, you can play in the NFL and it's possible that you could be decent, however unlikely. But you can play and even succeed. See Tyrod Taylor. If you lack arm strength you cannot play or ever succeed. Daniel Jeremiah March 12, 2018 More Lessons I've learned after studying my mistakes: QB-Accuracy/touch > arm strength OT-Need core strength & awareness OC/OG- Anchor > athleticism TE-Short area quicks needed WR- Game speed > timed speed Edge-Effort & Finishing matters LB-need to run/cover Secondary- MUST FIND BALL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Dirty B Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 1 hour ago, Ittakestime said: He is a train wreck, I 'm not sure why people are all over him. His combine was a huge awakening for a lot of media and scouts. I was listening to the Simms and Lefkoe podcast today and they were destroying him. They didn't understand how a QB go 1 for 6 on out routes in shorts. Simms has turned into a hot take diva. I like some of his analysis, but he has became completely hyperbolic to get attention and I think it's working for him. He's entertaining, I just think he goes a bit over the top at times.

Scouts will put more stock in game tape of Allen than his bare completion percentage, especially at a school like Wyoming, where he’s throwing to a bunch of one and two star guys.

I'd be happy if we drafted him. That said, there are two or three dropped interceptions in that game - one inexplicably that went right through the hands of the defender into the arms of the receiver for a long TD. Could use that mojo on the bills amirite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 1 hour ago, DFT said: No issues. There was a study done a few years back that brought to light that the average college athlete comes to the NFL with an average of two concussions (documented or not). He’s shown no ill effects and has elite mechanics, with incredible football acumen. No reservations on my part. I know of 3 WRs who had 2+ concussions at OSU this year. One sat a game but the rest got “cleared” ... not saying I take it lightly but i guarantee he’s not the only draft prospect who has had concussions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
