Yeah, 'cause that's a huge different in height lol You're clinging onto a losing argument, Bucky.

I'd luv to know how, when zero QBs above 6'6" have done jack in NFL history & only 1 at that height have been better than pedestrian & thats Flacco. I know there's always a first to buck the odds but history is highly against the Memphis kid based on his height.

Stupid stat as to proof they never will. Players keep getting bigger and faster over time. As the players get bigger so will the QB's. At one point a 6'2" 250 linemen was ideal. Let's get more than 5 in history trying before we come to a conclusion.

i do not watch college but based on your description, he sounds like a guy with huge potential that will need a red shirt year and he would be red shirted with us anyway. How is his accuracy?

I personally look at one thing, accuracy. It cannot be improved on any significant level and is the most important trait a QB can have, then has to come intelligence and leadership skills (hence the mental aspect). I think guys when they improve on their accuracy in college, it is more about their completion ratio going up because they can understand how to read the defense or know their offense than being able to put the ball better where they intend to throw it... if a guy has mediocre accuracy in college or even average, I would not want him as a professional QB in my opinion

That is based on completions, which does not mean exactly he is accurate if he is playing in a offense where WRs are wide open with a give to adjust to the passes. In the NFL, the windows are smaller and do so real quick... how does 60% in his college system translate to the NFL, would he still complete his passes is the question, this draft will be interesting :)

If Lynch is available at 29, the Cardinals will take him. However, I don't see him being available. Too many teams need QBs.

He's perfect to groom. Get him under center everyday in practice for 2 years. Still has the frame to improve his arm and his lower half is already strong. 36" vert at 6'7" 244? Damn... Big hands too.

Prescott and kevin hogan could be target for us
Linch today added he has interview with arizona cardinals, but in the same time i assume all 32 teams interviewed him

Hogan has a massive mechanical flaw in his delivery that Stanford tried to coach out of him for his entire time there. Maybe an NFL team can do it but with that motion he'll never be a good deep thrower.

Tough kid, runs well, smart, but that hitch in his motion is career limiting.

This is so ******** lol. There's never been a red headed center in the nba over 7'5". They're always blonde, brown or black. I guess if one enters the draft, nobody will take him because history proves he'll fail.
