He slings until the game is over, there is no quit in him. Guys can get behind that. 'It' gets ruined when you try and define it. It just...is. That's what makes 'it' so special!

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 6 hours ago, Doc Brown said: It's just another word to describe intangibles that aren't measurable (leadership, charisma, toughness, swagger, strong work ethic). I'm cautious of that word too as Sanchez and Manziel also had the "it" factor associated with them. I never once considered Sanchez a guy that had the "it" factor. This coming from a USC fan. Darnold certainly has more "it" factor than Sanchez ever had IMO. The thing I like most about Mayfield is walking on two different programs and performing as well as he did at both. He had the confidence to turn down scholarship offers at smaller FBS schools because he believed in his abilities. Throw in the fact that he actually might just be the most accurate passer in this draft as well and you have all the more reason to love him as a prospect. He could be the closets thing to Drew Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Bills are not targeting Mayfield IMO. I think they might even take Allen ahead of "the most accurate passer in this year's class" if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Does this guy have good tape? Or are people hoping he "wills" himself and the rest of the team to championships? All I keep hearing is how he has a will to win, but so did EJ Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In assessing risk people are forgetting that there is a significant possibility that he is a scheme baby whose skills will not translate to the NFL as a long term starter. It's easy to see the risks associated with Allen. It's easy to overlook the risks with Mayfield. All of these guys are risky picks, but for different reasons.

This has nothing to do with how i feel about Mayfield hes a good QB but im just sick of people saying the IT factor. With one guy he has the IT factor..With another guy hes a spoiled rich kid. When you’re talking about “it factor” with a qb it’s very simple. There are some guys that just flat out know how to do it. There are guys with a strong arm, there are some guys that can run and escape a sack. None of that means anything unless they have it. Im assuming most here have played football at some points in their life whether it be in the sandlot, high school, or even college. You knew that guy that was always qb. He wasn’t always the best player, but the best at placing a pass. Knowing where his receivers would be, take those few steps to buy time with the rush coming down on him. A lot of those guys don’t make it very far because there’s always someone faster or stronger. Just as some guys just have soft hands and can catch anything. You can’t teach a guy to catch like that and you can’t teach a guy to have that qb sensitivity of everything going on around him. Imo, you have it or you don’t. Mayfield has it. It’s as easy as that.

Mojo44 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Yet another drop in the ocean as far as opinions about these quarterbacks are concerned. They just keep coming.

JinxedBill1 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) I want Rosen. I like mayfield but I just think Rosen is the best QB of the lot. Edited April 22, 2018 by JinxedBill1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
