Under a lot of pressure and still very accurate. His WRs kept dropping balls that night. Crazy that the Sugar Bowl was statistically his worst game all season, and his QB rating was still 110.36. He’s really good.

On pure talent alone, this kid is the best QB in the draft, easy.

The good lord only made so many 6’6″* 240 lb men that can hurl the pigskin like Mallet.

2 things: One – if a bad lockerroom team snaps him up, it could be terrible for him (looking at you, Cincy), and Two – he has all the talent in the world, but he needs to sit for at least a year and quicken his release, not to mention refine his delivery.

* – At the recent College All Star special, Mallet looked closer to 6’8″.

Of course my Bengals will overdraft Cam in round 1 probably so there’s no need to worry about us taking Mallett in round 2.

I really hope Marvin shocks everyone and takes the kid out of TCU later – but that’s way too much to ask.

Dan Marino was reported as having a score of 16, while Benjamin Watson was reported to score a 48…

Think about that for a second.

There are plenty of desperate that would take him in the first. Hopefully my Dolphins will land him. Then again, they are mentally handicapped enough to pass on him.

Meanwhile, Silva continues to underwhelm with his cryptic, lost-child-at-an-amusement-park style of writing about what the possible reason for this slip could be.

I’m OK with Big Ben Jr on the Bengals. It doesn’t matter how smart he is as long as he understands when a woman says “No”.

2. If Mallett is there at the start of the 2nd round, no way the Panthers, Bills, Bengals, Cards, or 49ers ALL pass up on him.
3. Draft analysts never mention the fact that it only takes 1 team to like a guy and to reach, or “take a chance” on him – e.g. Tim Tebow.
4. If Mallett throws at the combine, someone will fall in love with his arm.

And he went to a place where zero brains is the number one job requirement- Congress!

If memory serves, Donovan McNabb also scores in the single digits.

No, a QB with that size, a big arm and no mobility would remind me of one Dan McGwire. Anyone remember him?

Aside from a college kid getting drunk, he hasn’t
done anything that’s known, and if it isn’t known
it shouldn’t be said, cause then that makes it bull
crap. Ryan Mallet goes 1st round easy. Real
issues that should be talked about are his
footwork, leadership ON THE FIELD, and his
knack for getting injured.(could be based on
horrible pass protection from 0-line) I bet on him being taken by a team that has a good veteran QB, so he can mature and learn how to be a leader. Cowboys passed on Randy Moss due to off the field issues..Turned out great huh

Good for them. While they don’t need to be saints by ANY means, if your QB has no leadership potential, you will never ever win a championship.

Also, realitypolice, Jamarcus Russell got a 24 on his WonderLic, so I don’t think that was the issue.

Furthermore, what it has to do with playing QB in the NFL still hasn’t been explained to me since I’ve seen just as many 30+ guys flame out as the low end guys…not to mention that Marino and McNabb, two of the best quarterbacks of the last 25 years scored 13 and 12 respectively on the test.

He has a cannon and throws a nice deep ball, but his wind-up makes Byron Leftwich look like he has a quick release.
He’s Dan McGwire 2.0
