Not so sure that I personally agree about Ryan Mallett as of yet. As another poster pointed out, 'that is just my personal opinion' for whatever that's worth
Arkansas ran a pro-style offense, and as of right now, there has not been any substantial proof of his 'drug use' or whatever issue has people scared. I agree that he may not be a great QB, but I think his raw skills, size, and yrs played give us a decent look at his potential. I don't think there's any question that he had a pretty good showing (not sure if it was the combine or pro day), and he certainly can wing the ball. Now his personal issues can certainly hold him back, if he doesn't grow up, or if indeed any of it is even true. Let's keep in mind the pot smoking and jail issues of Randy Moss though, so if we're choosing busts I am not going to put him at the very top of my list.
Now Cam Newton, OTOH, has only played one year, seems more immature and coc*y than anyone else, and I am not sold on his pro-style abilities. I've never been totally sold on Gabbart either.
