You take that back
- gerbe75pts

Weaknesses Durability is a concern. Carries slight build and has had injury issues dating back to high school. Carries ball low in pocket with slight upward pre-throw hitch. Too casual in pocket set-up. Decision making and post-snap reads are inconsistent. Refuses easy throws at times. Arm talent and strength are below average. May need to make greater effort to drive field and seam throws. Poor career deep ball completion rate. Excess air under ball allows challenges. Lacks gun to challenge safeties with rip throws over the top. Needs better anticipation. Poor mobility. Struggles to elude early pressure. Completed just 42.4 percent of his throws when forced to move. Too much hero ball. Extends plays and takes unnecessary chances rather than throwing it away. Scouts question his passion for football and whether he will be a willing student.

AFC scout: "I don't like him. He's a clone of Harrington and Boller. They all throw the same way. What have those guys done? Nothing. If you take him in the second round, fine. Heady guy. They do a marvelous job of coaching quarterbacks there. I don't think he's as good as the top quarterbacks coming out last year."


AFC scout: "I don't think he's in the class of the quarterbacks that came out last year. Strong arm. Pretty good athlete. Still has some holes in his game."


AFC scout: "He's a system quarterback. 3-, 5-, 7-step guy. Can't create on his own. Panics under pressure. Gets flustered easy. I don't think there's a quarterback in the draft worthy of a first-round pick. I'm dead serious. None of them are worth it

NFC scout: "He fit right into the Cal system. He probably executed that as well as anybody. He doesn't have as strong an arm as Boller but can make the same reads and play the scheme as well as Boller did.



Damn you might be right

That was a rex pick? Not sure if he fits the current regime. He has that 5th year (1st) round pick value.


Especially if have someone in mind.
The Bills really need to put some pressure on the qb.
Hughes if he's still here, that's about it.

Star and td machine Kyle probably will have a handful. Between them

- Boss34



That's why they went out and signed a DE

I think Lawson is on the block

I just got back from a cruise with my phone off for days.
Who did they sign at de?

I agree if they can package him to move up, Hughes probably too.

Not part of the process.

Yeah ok. I think you copied 80% of that from Sam Darnold’s biggest critic’s scouting report. There is nothing to not like about Rosen’s throwing mechanics. Best thrower of the football since at least Luck

Analysis
Strengths Tennis prodigy with impeccable footwork and delivery balance. Plays with excellent coordination between eyes and feet. Gets head around quickly on play-fakes. Has experience under center. Anchors in pocket and doesn't creep around needlessly. Trusts his protection and doesn't take eyes of targets when pressure mounts from the edge. Climbs pocket when appropriate. Willing to stand and deliver in face of pressure. Completed 63 percent of his passes when blitzed in 2017. Accuracy totals negatively impacted by 31 receiver drops this year. Holds his water in pocket. Mechanics are terrific. Rarely over-strides and throws with consistently bent front knee. Throwing motion and follow-through are effortless. Extremely confident and intelligent. Throws receivers open. Might be best back shoulder thrower in the game. Shows ability to speed up operation time for move to next level. Very good usage of shoulder fakes and hitches to move defenders or buy additional time for receivers to uncover. Touch passer who can throw feathers when needed.

Sources Tell Us "He wasn't the guy everyone rallied around in college and you don't have to dig around for too long to find people who said he was hard to coach. He's definitely talented. Nobody questions that. But he's going to have to get grown men to buy into him as their leader. That is not a given." -- NFL Executive

"Trusts his protection and doesn't take eyes of targets when pressure mounts from the edge"

and

"Panics under pressure. Gets flustered easy."

Don't exactly jibe with each other.

For the record, he's the 3rd QB I'd take after Mayfield and Darnold.

Some of the best QBs ever got atrocious scores on the Wonderlic.

Dan Marino got a 15. Ryan Leaf got a 27. Roethlisballs got a 25, just one point higher than "average"(for a QB). Blaine Gabbert and Drew Henson got 42's. McNabb got a 14. Jim Kelly, Cunningham and Steve McNair got 15's. Brett Favre got a 22. Kaepernick got a 38.

It's pretty irrelevant.

I'll do my best.

Worked from home, son has pink eye. I got he and I a pizza for lunch. Wife came home found the box. I own a duplex so when she asked I told her it was the neighbors.

When she asked what I had for lunch I told her a Kale salad with raisins, cranberries, and a vinaigrette.

Think I may have overplayed my hand.
