26CornerBlitz Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) One crucial question about each top QB in the NFL DraftThe quarterbacks are the talk of the 2018 NFL draft—it's very possible that we'll see four drafted in the first five picks. But they’re far from a perfect group of passers. What does the tape reveal about each player?By ANDY BENOIT April 04, 2018It’s an unprecedented draft when it comes to the quarterback position, with possibly four passers being drafted in the first five picks, and maybe five or six going in the first round. But maybe the most shocking of all? There’s no clear front-runner.Each quarterback comes with a significant, complex question. Examining those questions takes us to the heart of great NFL quarterbacking philosophizing. Edited April 4, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Wait, all of these QBs have FLAWS!? Good read, thanks for posting... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 "Another way to look at this: If the Panthers re-did the 2011 draft knowing what they know now, would they still take Newton with the No. 1 pick? (Maybe it helps Allen that there is no projected Von Miller, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Tyron Smith or J.J. Watt in this draft.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Seeing the Allen comparisons to Cam Newton combined with Beane's description of what he thinks a franchise QB is... looks more and more like there's fire with the smoke that the Bills have Allen as their top target... interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newton won the Heisman and a National Championship and was an absolutely dominant college player against the highest level of competition. Allen is a far cry from that. This just all feels like NFL coaches and GMs trying to get some other team to bite on Allen so another prospect falls a little further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksilver Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 After reading that it's hard to believe 4 will go in the top 10. Good read. Hopefully NYG and Denver FO's feel the same way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newton was a transcendent college player who carried a mediocre Auburn team to a National Title. He just dominated and took over games by himself. He scored 51 TDs in 14 games for Auburn. Josh Allen is just an athletic guy who struggled in the Mountain West Conference. The comparison is absurd.

Hey, *I'm* not comparing him to Newton, but others within the scouting community (both in the league and outside it) have made those comps. As standard practice during this time of year, I'm just playing connect the dots. Scouts compare Allen to Newton... Beane's personal description of a franchise QB sounds an awful lot like a Newton or an Allen... of course it could all be conjecture/smokescreen still. But as we're getting closer and closer to the draft we keep hearing more "Bills dig Allen" stuff from different sources. Either they actually dig him or they're trying to bait another team into taking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 All the speculation back and forth daily hourly by the minute about the top 4 or top 6... it's going to be funny if/when one of Lauletta or Falk becomes the best QB of the class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam was more accurate, athletic, and more fleet of foot as a runner. -I really don't see it at all. Edited May 10, 2018 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
