    I know his mechanics are off and whatnot, but his size is too important to look past. I am sick of the Browns having undersized QB's, and this guy has good enough skills to be drafted late in the 1st round, according to Todd McShay. His fundamentals can be tweeked but I am quite high on this guy. What does everyone think?

      I brought his name up a month or so ago. A lot of people (meaning draft experts that I read) thought he was a late round...4th or later, type guy.

      Certainly he has a whole different kind of game than an RGIII would have.

      But, he is big.

      How about arm strength?

          If you can get him in the 4th or later why not? Any sooner than that is ridiculous

            Not in the first round. He seems to be a little bit of a project. I would much rather have a stud defensive player that is ready to contribute then another project QB.

            I wouldn't be opposed to him late in the draft though. I would roll the dice on anyone with top self upside late.

              If we pick him up in the later rounds such as no earlier than 4th, I'd be content with that. He had a pretty good season, but it was his only season starting. This could go either way. He could become a solid qb or he could just be another terrible qb that came out of college a year too early.

                He is a weird one for sure. As big as he is, he is still pretty mobile. All his mechanics are awkward too, but he doesn't take long to get his throw off and he still got it done. No sooner than 4th.

                  This guy eerily reminds me of Derek Anderson. I'm not going to really say much cause I haven't looked into his highlights and throwing motion etc, but it seems to me like people are enamored with his size alone. That's a clear advantage sure but I think Derek showed its not enough to be good.

                    Funny how everybody hates the only quarterback that gave us a winning season in recent memory.

                        How can you put DA and LeBron in the same category? Nobody can touch LeBron when it comes to douchebaggery.

                          I think the resentment is over the fact that we felt that he should have continued to play at the level that he showed in that one season. But he didn't. He choked up a furball for the rest of his time here (and for the rest of his career), yet his potential seemed so high.

                          It pisses people off when players underachieve so badly.

                          The same sentiment exist toward Braylon, and maybe a little against K2.

                          We felt they should have played at 2007 level for the next 3-4 years. But they sucked big time.

                            To be fair, it's not like we drafted DA in the first round and he had all this hype, then came in and totally shit the bed. He was a 6th round draft choice that we got off of someone else's waiver wire. I mean, what are the expectations for a 6th round quarterback NOT named Tom Brady? We got one winning season out of a 6th rounder, I would say that was bonus. We drafted McCoy in the 3rd, and we are getting whats expected out of a 3rd round guy. We got more out of DA than we got out of McCoy so far.

                              DA, commonly called "dumbass bigfoot"....

                              didn't care about football, and wasn't too smart.

                              Big arm, who cares. Had a good year going, then sucked

                              and blew big losses by throwing ints under pressure in the playoff game?

                              And was laughing on the sidelines?

                              He was a loser, and not smart enough to beat out any qb that BALTIMORE had on their roster?

                              I don't know anything about Osweiler, but the DA comparison might be valid.

                                Okay people this isn't a thread about Derek Anderson. Stay on topic.

                                And watch film of Osweiler. His style is completely different to Derek Anderson, both in college and pro.

                                Todd McShay and Mel Kiper said on SportsCenter this morning that Osweiler is projected late first round. Thats where I got the speculation.

                                Whoever drafts him is gonna have to call him B.O....lol.

                                  Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona State

                                  Height: 6-8. Weight: 240.

                                  Projected 40 Time: 4.70.

                                  Projected Round (2012): 4-5

                                  1/9/12: Osweiler is big-armed pocket passer who has surprising mobility. The former basketball player has good athletic ability for being so tall. Looking at him, one would think he would be a statue in the pocket, but that is definitely not the case. As a junior this year, Osweiler completed 63 percent of his passes for 4,036 yards with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He also ran for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Osweiler set the school record for yards, completions and attempts. In 2010, he had only two starts, but played well throwing for 797 yards and five touchdowns with zero interceptions. He also ran for 168 yards and a score.

                                  Osweiler has real arm strength and the gun to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. He is very raw and needs some work. If Osweiler goes to a good coaching staff that can develop him for a few years, he could turn into something. It wouldn't be surprising if Osweiler's stock rises during the lead up to the draft. He should have stayed in school and improved before going pro.

                                  PS Heard Kiper & McShay in the PM edition, and said his mechanics are a mess.

                                      First question... what's his football IQ?

                                      I don't care if he's 6'6", if he's a football dunce, any pick would be a waste... On the other hand you might be able to convert him to TE... 😁

                                      As for DA... he was a dunce. Got away with being a first read wonder for one-year, then it was all downhill.

                                        I think the resentment is over the fact that we felt that he should have continued to play at the level that he showed in that one season. But he didn't. He choked up a furball for the rest of his time here (and for the rest of his career), yet his potential seemed so high.

                                        It pisses people off when players underachieve so badly.

                                        The same sentiment exist toward Braylon, and maybe a little against K2.

                                        We felt they should have played at 2007 level for the next 3-4 years. But they sucked big time.

                                        To be fair, it's not like we drafted DA in the first round and he had all this hype, then came in and totally shit the bed. He was a 6th round draft choice that we got off of someone else's waiver wire. I mean, what are the expectations for a 6th round quarterback NOT named Tom Brady? We got one winning season out of a 6th rounder, I would say that was bonus. We drafted McCoy in the 3rd, and we are getting whats expected out of a 3rd round guy. We got more out of DA than we got out of McCoy so far.

                                        My 2 cents why people dislike DA is the reality that he was only good for about 8 games in 2007. Once the league figured out he couldn't hit anything but the deep passes, or read a D to save his live, they started playing cover 3 on him and he was done. Even with all that CLE then over paid him, rather than moving him when his stock was higher than his actual ability. I guess in the end fans should be more upset with that management than DA.

                                          I think the bottom line for me anyway is that I'm sick and tired of taking project QB's. Sure, on occasion they turn out great but the browns have a terrible track record of making that reality.
