That's Mr. Riff-Raff to you!
I hate to admit this, but he seems to be cut out of the "Dan Marino" mold...I hope someone else drafts him so we can't look back and say we shouldn't have drafted Suggs...

Leftwich lack of mobility makes me wonder if he can avoid the hits in the NFL.Add the lingering leg injury and it throws up a red flag for me.All that being said i think IF he can stay healthy he can be a fine QB.Seems like most of the top players all have a red flag about something or other.

I see our line providing enough protection for Leftwich, coupled with a legit running attack offsetting much of the "run for your life" style we've been used to in recent years.
Just how quick is Leftwich's release?

Hey, I'm tired of all these 'he's too slow to avoid the rush' bs arguments. There have been hundreds of successful QBs that couldn't run away from the blitz. They're called pocket passers. Gee, Dan Marino was really horrible because he couldn't avoid the blitz, right? No, wait, he was one of the best QBs EVER! Just because it isn't 'in vogue' right now to be a pocket passer won't necessarily make him a failure.

Who gives a Sh#t if its "in vogue" right now.I think its just voicing a legitimate concern about his lingering injury and lack of mobility.The guy has a tremendous arm and quick release and is a leader.The point is that NOBODY among the top players is perfect.Every one has some flaw or another.

I would think that you would know that his lack of mobility wasn't much of an issue after you watched him avoid Louisville's blitz and make Dave Ragone look like a future NFL practice squader.
