Good morning everyone! Forgive me if this has been posted recently, as I did not find it on the first few pages...
In our playoff bye week, I thought it would be fun to ask: What do you think of our backup QBs?
Ryan Mallett: 23 years old, 6'7, 250 with a mega rocket for an arm.
Brian Hoyer: 26 years old, 6'2 215 and has proven dependable so far and seems to be a better decision maker then Mallett.
Mallett reminds me a lot of TMFB for many reasons (including his draft position, throwing style and pocket presence)
Check out Mallett's highlights against the jags:
Ryan Mallett 8-11-11 Pats vs Jags Preseason - YouTube
... and analysis on his draft position...
NFL Videos: Perfect fit for Mallett?
Edit: Quick side note, Jacksonville, Washington and San Francisco could have both drafted Mallett (among many other teams) and whether or not he plays better then their current QBs remains to be seen.
From this highlight video, you can see he can locate the open receiver and has great throws, especially in the middle.... 12-19 for 164 and 1 touchdown in the game, and although he also had an interception, if that was gronk or welker catching the ball then he would of been 13-19
I believe Hoyer is a smarter guy, but I believe Mallett is the potential future of our franchise. Anyone have any cool stats on either of the two? Any thoughts on the future of our QBs 5-10 years down the road?
