Patriots QB Ryan Mallett Recently Threw At Arkansas' Pro Day

[primetime]

Mallett's issues were always with bad weight.

And cocaine.

Everyone is saying a 2nd for Mallett. Is that just wishful thinking or does Mallett have value?

It's wishful thinking on drugs.

I luv fans who are as dumb as a post, and certain of their erroneous assumptions.

Brady is a scrawny guy who can't run worth a damn. They were always trying to sit him down at Michigan. Besides we have Bledsoe. Cut his ass!

Cassell could never play in the college so how can he play in the pros? He looked terrible in preseason. Except he took the Pats to an 11-5 record, and was voted to the Probowl once with the Chiefs. Still Cut his ass!

Mallett is terrible. He can't run. Everyone says he is a LAZY dope, and doper, even if he has a rocket arm. QBs need to be mobile, even if they can't pass worth a damn. Cut his ass! I don't care if BB gave him Blackshirts; and awarded him a parking spot for his off season hard work. Cut his ass!

I have a suggestion,good sir. Go be a fan of the NYJ, and add your opinions to Gangrene and JI, where they will be appreciated as the font of all wisdom.

So.... butthurt because your binkie only got an "OK" for his troubles?

Mallett *was* my binkie when he was in college. I was thrilled that the Patriots drafted someone who, given time, could throw the ball with amazing power and precision.

Like everyone else on this board, I haven't seen him in serious competitive action since then, but I have seen him look good in pre-season and the best coach in the NFL has made him the sole backup to his franchise quarterback.

I get it. Now that we don't have Steve Gregory to dump on (easy system: watch TV, see opposition complete pass, don't see safety in shot, blame safety) what is easier than to make a back-up quarterback the whipping boy?

But tell me: why do sports fans need whipping boys on their own teams?

Touche`

Well said, DI. Trouble is the end is coming for TFB; and then what are you going to do?? Wallow in self pity for a decade, awaiting a savior??

While you drag in rag-armed guys like Weedon, or recycled Limburger like Sancheeze ?

What evidence do you have that Mallett won't suck like the others?

You're making the assumption that Mallett's the savior. I've seen him play. Here's my suggestion to you:



Stop making that assumption. He's no savior.

 

[moosekill]

He is what he is, and no one here knows what that is. Why? Because other than a few preseason games, no one here sees him practice every day. He was never going to beat out probably the best quarterback to ever play the game, so because he doesn't play he somehow sucks?

I have no idea what he is worth, but I sure do see an awful lot of high draft picks wasted on qb's who suck for one reason or another. Houston's Coach saw him practice every day, he knows how good he is. BB sees him play every day, he knows how good he is. Probably there are other people in the NFL who know how good he is. But jeez stop being such morons.

Wow there Cousin!

If you read the article they talked about is gangly look and physical thin appearance.

Mallett isn't my best of best, but please re-read this.

Despite his less-than-ideal build, Mallett remains a talented thrower. His most impressive passes on the day, according to the source, were deep outs and go routes -- two of the more valued throws in today's NFL.

Your reporting like the Liberal media (or any media). What you want people to think your way, not the actual facts are how you portray it.

He has a better arm than all of the three kids and has a few NFL camps behind him. He was a better player to have O'Brien and McDaniels teaching him. He is only 25 and healthy. And now you want to nail him? Teddy B. has the same issue in gangly and frail looking, Manzeil has no where near the size or arm and Bortles you can say is just "O.K.". So why does that make any of them a better QB as the face of your franchise?

O.K. I am the Texans, Jags, Browns, Vikings or Raiders. The Browns missed with Weedon (weak arm and older than Mallett), The Jags missed with Gabbert (he is just scared. Mallett is not scared), Ponder from the Vikings? (Very short tape of one year, weak arm) and they Raiders? They just shotgunned to find a QB. The Texans have a coach who coached him.

If I am B.O. I have to go Clowney. Now I decide at the top of Round two, do I want Carr or Jimmy Garapolo in the second or take a shot with the more pro ready Mallett.

The Jags need O.L. desperately. A QB is a bad choice in Round 1 with some great OT's available.

The Vikes need D help and the Browns might wait and be in the 26th pick for a QB.

The Raiders need a QB but the talent rated ahead might be to tempting like a Kahlil.

I read the article. Where does it say he did not throw great? Where does it say he threw fastballs into the dirt? Where does it say he overthrew or underthrew? Maybe I missed something.

Kind of the same report that Tom Brady had before his Draft? Frail? Weak looking? Now add that Draft report Tom Brady threw crappy balls as in not a tight spiral.

Do I have my facts correct sir?

I'm not surprised that someone who thinks the media has a liberal bias also thinks Mallett will fetch #33.

Both are symptoms of a total detachment from reality.

Anyone who thinks the media doesn't have a liberal bias probably doesn't watch much news.

Wrong Arkansas QB - that was Matt Jones - Mallett was a stoner.

Arkansas was so bad they had to have someone draw in some scouts - they certainly do not have much worth looking at - hope that changes.

I had to laugh when I read one poster say Mallett throws with precision - that is someone who was NOT watching Mallett. Mallett would have EXCELLENT precision if he has 12'-tall WR's.

Cocaine is one of the rumored drugs for Mallett, and some people around here seem to have overlooked items like the following:

One GM said Mallett was the first quarterback ever to admit his drug usage to him in interviews, and his willingness to be honest about his past and acknowledge issues is viewed as a positive. Concerns about his history of use could impact his draft position, though. Although Mallett did not produce an official positive test at Arkansas, he has been arrested for public intoxication and carries a reputation as a "big party guy," per sources who have interviewed him. How much teams believe he has matured will weigh into his draft status. "I would not take him at any point," one executive not in need of a quarterback said. He still figures to be drafted in the second round.

My prediction is that the Patriots will trade Mallett on draft day for a 3rd round pick,

They'll then use that 3rd round pick on Johnny Manziel, who, like Mallett would represent to high a value in the 3rd round NOT to take

And then several Patsfans will promptly declare the franchise quarterback post-Brady era.

(I like to be specific in my predictions)
