Agreed, but I'd be happy with that. I think Mallett is suffering from an expectations gap based on pre-draft hype, rather than draft-day reality. If you just take him at face value as a mid-round pick with excellent size and arm strength who has held down the backup QB job at short money, it's hard to complain.

Not to diss your thread but really this ought to be about expectations vs what was shown. To that end, Tebow's performance really wasn't a shocker by any means. On the other hand our kicker and backup QB blows and our secondary has fallen off from last year, if that's humanly possible.

I know that Cole is a special teamer / bubble player and all, but he didn't stand out to me as having a poor game. On the contrary, he made a few nice pass-breakups and i thought he held his ground.
Our bakup QB does kinda blow however....Or the problem is Brady has spoiled us for so long anyone you put in there is going to look second rate next to him.

yeah, i don't follow the draft very much anymore because all I end up doing is getting mad when the Patriots pass on David Terrell to pick Richard Seymour.
So I just come here and read the varied opinions and there was nary a negative word said about Ryan, I remember a number of people felt like we got back on track after the 'horrible' Harmon pick.
Now all the 20/20 hindsight types show up with their history eraser buttons and suddenly the Ryan pick was the worst thing since Chris Canty.
I missed a chunk of the game that corresponded with most of Mallett's snaps. Based on feedback here, I expected ugliness. So I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw on rewind: a reasonable-looking NFL backup quarterback. Strong arm, decent mechanics, didn't look flustered or overwhelmed. Field vision and timing/accuracy were just so-so, but he was also under more pressure than Brady, playing mostly behind o-linemen who will be out of work in a few weeks. And count me in the camp that puts most of the blame on Boyce for the endzone miss. He looks better to me than Cassel ever did in preseason, at least.
