Quarterback Scouting Thread

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Haven't been around for a minute. But, please enlighten me as to what makes Allar even a consideration in the 1st. Are we talking about his strong arm and that he can make any NFL level throw? So could Jeff George, and a host of strong arm college QBs who had better success in college than Allar and were either "meh" or "OH MY GOD!" terrible. Decision making and processing did not seem to be a strong point of Allar"s in any season.
First round ... God I hope they don't!!

Jeff George was the #1 overall pick. That's my point. Guys with Allar's size and arm talent go in Rd 1. Whether he's successful is a different matter.

How many times do we see guys get drafted high on arm talent alone? Trey Lance barely even started at North Dakota State. The 49ers spent a high pick on him. it happens all the time.

Bears took Mitch Trubiski over Mahomes. Browns took Baker Mayfield over Josh Allen. Baker and Mitch were "pro ready". Allen and Mahomes were seen as projects. Give me the possible star rather than the safe pick.

I get it that all the draft sites have him as a 3rd or 4th rounder now but I really think that will change when he throws at the combine. Most of the other top rated QBs are small with mediocre arms. Allar's size and arm will stand out. I'm already seeing draft analysts starting to talk up Allar

In this draft, I think it's Allar in the 1st

You have to be Drew Allar's uncle or something. There is no other explanation for the undying love you continue to profess for this mediocre player.

Jeff George - #1 overall pick. Barely had a decent career.
Trey Lance - Sucks
Mitch Trubiski - Sucks
Baker Mayfield - has put together a decent career, but, it's not like he's on a HOF trajectory.
These are the first round picks tha were "Meh" or "OH GOD NO" ... These are the apt 1st round comparisons to Allar. 3 of the 4 are the perfect cautionary tale for why you don't draft a kid "just because" he looks the part.
Allen and Mahomes? C'mon man, those guys might have been seen as projects, but they were better decision makers, and more mentally tough than Allar coming out of college. Allar is not the same type of prospect those guys were. Not even remotely.

Tom Brady should come up with some sort of qb iq test. Something that can assess decision making. He could then sell it to nfl teams.

Tom, you owe me money for the idea.
