Still, Peter admitted on film he has seen Luck's arm strength as not his strongest suit, so one day of throwing at Stanford won't change my mind. I'm sure Luck has been throwing everyday, but he has to realize on Sunday he won't be throwing 75 yards straight down the field and he'll have to make a strong throw across the field or something like that. Talk to most young QB's coming from college and they tell you there are three big differences in the NFL and college. <br /><br />1. The complexity and terminology of the offenses. <br /><br />2. The complexity of the defenses. <br /><br />3. Passing windows close a lot quicker. All of a sudden a pass that isn't an INT in college is one in the NFL. So while arm strength isn't necessarily greatly important, if a QB has average arm strength he will need excellent anticipation to offset this. <br /><br />I'm not a Tannehill guy. Many of the same ppl who like Wright like Tannehill, so there may be something to it. I'm just not sure he's a guy I draft in the Top 10. If I'm Seattle, I stick with Matt Flynn. <br /><br />Maybe I'm wrong about Kendall Wright, but I've read too many people talk about him favorably to think he couldn't possibly be the best WR in this class. His 40 at the Combine isn't his playing speed. If he were 6'3" he would be the top WR in this class. Mike Wallace is 5'10" also, by the way. <br /><br />It's nearly impossible to know if a player is rising or falling. We don't know team's draft boards so we don't know if the players are going up or down the draft board. <br /><br />I think you mean Gruden won a SB with Brad Johnson, not Rob Johnson. Still your point stands. Tannehill didn't beat those other QB's. It was a team thing. Jason White beat a lot of other great QBs. <br /><br />I didn't take what Thomas said as being critical of Tebow. He was stating the truth. If Thomas had said great things about Tebow then everyone would use this evidence of how good of a QB he really is. Because Thomas is negative, some tend to dismiss his comments by saying he's being overly critical of Tebow. A person simply had to watch a game to see Tebow didn't throw the ball well. <br /><br />I don't like it when Peter talks baseball. He took a look at ONE lineup and makes a decision on the Phillies team strength without even doing research or wondering if that was the team's everyday lineup. Very frustrating.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-18078685869875239052012-04-17T22:37:21.946-04:002012-04-17T22:37:21.946-04:00unearthed this tidbit from his March 21 workout on...<b>unearthed this tidbit from his March 21 workout on the Stanford campus.</b><br /><br />Any team functionally retarded enough to ignore years of actual game film because of one (or two) good or bad practices is stupid. If the guy lights it up for three years and then has a bad practice, guess what? He probably just had a bad day. He didn't just magically start to suck. <br /><br />Same with the guy who sucked for three years and then busts it open at the combine. He didn't magically stop sucking.<br /><br /><b>loves Blackmon and that would be his pick; president Mike Holmgren is still trying to decide with finality if Tannehill is the franchise quarterback worth taking here</b><br /><br />Tannenhill is rising is stock at a hilarious rate. He's gone from third rounder to potential top 3 pick because? No games have been played, so what the hell happened?<br /><br />I mean, if I'm Holmgren, I steer clear of Tannenhill given that you'll have fantastic OL and DL players available at that slot.<br /><br />But hey, you draft another fringe QB way too high Holmgren, I'm sure it'll work out much better than Colt.<br /><br /><b>Because teams around the league know how much Seattle loves Tannehill.</b><br /><br />Holy shit, is there a team that doesn't love Tannenhill now? Seattle just dropped decent coin on Flynn, why get another "who the fuck knows if this guy is good" QB?<br /><br /><i>Kendall Wright may be end up being better than both of these guys.</i><br /><br />Unfortunately he went to play in an offense that decided to not use him... at all. I think Blackmon is the safer bet, but if I'm sitting with Floyd or Wright, I take Wright.<br /><br /><i>How do we know these players are falling?</i><br /><br />This. All of this. Unless they have an exceptionally bad interview, i.e. tell them they love dog fighting or don't show up on time, then how are players rising or falling? They literally haven't done anything football related in three months.<br /><br /><b>He beat Robert Griffin 59 to 24, he beat Andrew Luck in the Fiesta Bowl, he beat Landry Jones, he beat Ryan Tannehill.</b><br /><br />He beat? Shut up Jon, it's a team game. You won a fucking super bowl with Rob Johnson at QB, you should know better than anyone the bullshit of QBs beating each other.<br /><br />Oh and I would hope Weeden could compete with those guys seeing as how he's <i>almost 29.</i><br /><br /><b>Imagine what Thomas would say if he wanted to be really critical of Tebow.</b><br /><br />In a previous interview, Thomas talked about Peyton and said his arm strength was still there and how he got every ball in the chest. It was about as clear a dig into Tebow's underthrown wounded ducks as you can get.<br /><br /><i>tend to skip over the open receivers he missed and the fact the offense was very much dumbed down for him.</i><br /><br />At the beginning of that game, Tebow went to throw a 5 yard wheel to his RB along the sidelines. He threw it 20 feet over the poor guy's head.<br /><br />It was a pass so bad that I actually had to call a friend to tell him to put the game on to catch the replay. <br /><br />In that game, Tebow went 10 for 21 for 300 something yards. That means he's inaccurate and his receivers were getting open.<br /><br />Think of it another way, take away that last catch and he's 9 for 20 for 220 or so yards. That's a piss poor game.<br /><br /><b>In other words, a little gratitude toward the departed thrower of that biggest reception of your NFL career might be nice.</b><br /><br />Hey Peter how about this: Tebow should show a little gratitude that Thomas was able to go 60 impressive YAC after an okay throw.<br /><br /><b>3 through 8 in the order Saturday</b><br /><br />::cracks fingers:: I'll take it from here Ben.<br /><br /><i>this isn't the normal Phils lineup, even if Howard/Utley aren't in the lineup.</i><br /><br />::uncracks fingers:: <br /><br />damnit.richnoreply@blogger.com
