That's really sick man, I am so happy I got that Friday off. I might not even go in on Thursday.. Just help volunteer with my Mom's work instead.

I cannot stand this prime-time set up for the Draft though. Not going to even joke.

Also, you could tell how much respect every single player on the Washington football team had for Jake Locker. Everyone on that team loved the guy to death, and the on-field celebration after the Holiday Bowl win was extremely emotional. Locker is a genuine guy, and a true fucking leader without question. I want him. I wouldn't be at all upset to get him at #10.

Love the fuck out of Locker.

 

[Mooche]

I am still having a tough time slotting in Locker in my latest Mock. I really believe Minnesota does like the kid, but if a Bowers is there, they can't pass that chance and talent up.

I think I am going to keep him at 25 to the Seahawks. Keep him in Washington.

 

[TTN2810]

I do love Locker, but not his accuracy.

That's the kinda shit that got Tebow picked in the 1st

Different.

Tebow had a terrible throwing motion, horrible, cant really change that.

Lockers problem with Accuracy is his workout. You can change that.

Aaron Rodgers had horrible Accuracy coming into the NFL, he changed his footwork and look at him now.

 

[Elite]

How can you not change a throwing motion? That's probably easier to change than accuracy. Some guys just are just simply inaccurate, it takes time, but a throwing motion can definitely be changed.

 

[TTN2810]

I've tried to change my throwing motion and simply cant.
Totally messes with my power and accuracy. I'm not a QB, but I was training to be one in the summer.
Just not my thing.

Because with throwing motion, you have to change everything. It makes you think more whenever you go to throw the ball too because you're trying not to throw with your older throwing motion.

With Accuracy, 9 times out of 10, its footwork. Which is easier to fix. If your footing is off, you can overthrow a receiver by 5+ yards. Thats what is wrong with Locker, he never really had good enough coaching like that. NFL teams are gonna make him change his footwork.

Lockers Ceiling: Donovan McNabb (Or Aaron Rodgers if we're just talking about the QB style, not the athletic side.)
Lockers Floor: Kyle Boller.

Christian Ponder > Jake Locker.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Christian Ponder > Jake Locker.

You go to hell and die.

Kaepernick wants to be a Jag, ftmfw.

Says the Miami Hurricane fan..

Anyways, I still am not changing my thoughts on Cam Newton being the best QB in this class. I've felt strongly that way from the start, and I have kept that opinion. I just don't feel THAT confident on this QB class in general. A lot of talent, some that must be harnessed, but it's really not that strong top to bottom. I think a lot of the name factor (Newton, Locker, etc.) makes this class appear to pop out at you at first, but really it's just not that strong.

CBS Sports draft analyst Rob Rang reports that the Titans and Jaguars are "exceptionally" high on Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick.
This goes along with several previous reports, particularly about the Titans. Rang believes that either of the AFC South clubs could use a first- or second-round pick on Kaepernick. Rang notes that numerous other teams have Kaepernick rated as only a second- to third-rounder, behind many of the signal callers from schools with bigger names. Jacksonville might be a best-case scenario for Kaepernick, where he could study under David Garrard.

YESH.
I would do backflips if we took him in the first.
I don't even care if it's high, I just want him.

The report of Mallett being too hung over puts a damper on my hope for him at 8. Still like the player though.

 

[TTN2810]

As got QB's my list goes as follows:
1. Ryan Mallett, Colin Kaepernick, Blaine Gabbert
2. Christian Ponder, Cam Newton
3. Jake Locker, Andy Dalton
4. Ricky Stanzi

Those are "tiers" for the QB's.
Throwing in potential, character concerns, and pro-readiness, I can't have a set in stone order. All I can have is levels of guys.

But yes Kam, on the field, Mallett is still my #1. That hasn't changed.

SMH

Mallett isn't ranked high on real peoples board for a reason.

After height, arm strength.. hes just not that good.

 

[TTN2810]

It's just his character.
Everyone knows he has top 10-15 talent. He's not just tall with a strong arm.

My QBs =

Gabbert
Kaepernick
Newton
Ponder
Locker
Stanzi
Dalton
Mallett
