Rosen and Darnold declare for NFL Draft
-
Interesting how you have two different standards at the poly board vs this one
️
Edited after Mark replied, I missed this other Cal gem... Get it though your head Cal!!!
Apparently it's OK for Cal to call Rosen:
"blech. a hateful arrogant sombeithc mumbler, and a fumbler.
whatever."
"can't coach up stupid arrogant asswholeness."
Maybe I'll have Zombo autocorrect Allen to "Bowlegged hick Cowboy".

You forgot inaccurate as a QB in a very weak conference. 56% in the Mountain West ain't gonna get it done at the next level. He's a project at best. Maybe you can get Zombo to put Cals love for Allen (and unhealthy level of hate for Rosen) and PoG (stalker level) love for Hogan and just combine them all in one place so it stops mucking up the board.

1. Darnold has the best accuracy of the top 3 candidates. Nice quick reads and throws well at all 3 levels. He has decent mobility and throws well on the run. His footwork needs to get better and he seems to be little nervous about climbing the pocket. I see a ot of Aaron Rodgers in his game.
2. Josh Allen is very raw. He has a crazy strong arm but he throws like a pitcher. He maybe 6'4-6'5 but he drops down to about 6 foot when he throws a ot of times. His throwing motion reminds me of a baseball pitcher. His accuracy is hit or miss but it maybe correctable with a better throwing motion. He is a flame thrower and needs to show more touch. He is big bodied and isn' afraid of contact. He has good straight line speed but he won't make anyone miss in the nfl which may land him on IR if he doesn't learn to get down. Hard to compare him to anyone but I see a more polished version of Kizer.
3. Josh Rosen has the best fundamentals. He has the best all around game as of now, but he is limited athletically. The personality issues are a red flag but the real concern is his injury history. He can't help the team if he's not on the field. I think he's Jay Cutler mixed with Peyton manning legs and Sam bradfords toughness. He scares me but he is a solid passer.
Don't sleep on his athleticism (Rosen). He was a highly ranked national tennis player before switching to football. Just because he is more of a pocket passer doesn't mean he can't scramble to keep plays alive. You can't be a great tennis player without having quick feet and good movement.

Is there tape on this tennis savant? I was already a fan of rosen but if he spuns in a good kick 2nd serve i might be a sprung little bitch for him now. I mean such translateable skills right? Maybe someone should throw novak or nadal a football at the next u.s open, see what they got.

Darnold got killed in the cotton bowl against a very good defense and crappy line play so anyone making a decision on that one game is foolish if anything i would be interested in is his hand size
Jameis Winston got killed in the Rose Bowl a few years back and still went #1 overall. No team is going to base it's entire decision on one game.

I may have been hard on Rosens athletic ability, because I have only went over a handful of his games. I haven't seen anything yet that says his tennis skills translate but I've got plenty of tape to watch.
. I haven't seen anything yet that says his tennis skills translate but I've got plenty of tape to watch.
I read he had one if the best backhands in d1 collegiate tennis. Solid resume builder for the nfl.

& those California schools field some bad a$$ tennis teams. I won a couple letters on the collegiate level. Played one match against a guy who made it to the NCAA quarterfinals, and he hit serves at me the likes of which I had never seen before.... Of course I got smoked 6-0,6-0.

Maybe the Buccaneers should have...

WSS
Maybe....but Winston is still better than any QB we've had since 99.

I've already suggested to Cal that he start a Camp Allen thread, so we can keep the Allen love and Rosen hate in one place....

blech. a hateful arrogant sombeithc mumbler, and a fumbler.
whatever.
Josh Allen is the qb to draft first.
Wanna make a bet? A bottle on my Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum vs. equal value of whatever you like. The bet is Josh Allen will not be anyone's winning starting QB in his career in any season he plays. 9-7 or better and you are rewarded, 8-8 is a push and anything less is my win whenever he leaves the league. You get all those season for him to do it even once as the starter. Being on the bench during wins will not count for you though, so that is my only advantage.

I am going to go get a bottle today, bro. I have long been a Zaya fan, and I don't know if it is just my taste buds or that the rum has changed since the ownership changed, but recent bottles have not seemed as smooth to me. Some say that the new version is sweeter but It doesn't strike me as so. I think it is a little less sweet and less smooth. It is still my favorite rum, but I am going to give yours a shot. I will let you know what I think.

Taste 'em side by side. At some point I'll get the Zaya and try that test out. I've had a side conversation going with Hoorta with side by side tastes of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva (don't get their lesser bottles they make), Plantation Barbados 20th Anniversary XO, Cartavio XO from Peru, El Dorado 12 year old, and another Venezuelan one Pampero Anniversario.
The Cartavio was a close second to the Diplomatico to my taste buds, but they are all very good except one other forgettable one which I used as a mixer and finished off over Xmas. Don't even remember the name on that one.

Keep a good thought, Princess...
Not a Rosen Groupie by a long shot. I'll wait for the QB gurus to analyze the Big 4 and Little 1 (Rudolph). Right now I have Darnold ahead by a nose (like his accuracy, and more mobile than Rosen, heard he has an elongated windup though) Josh UCLA has raised durability concerns in my mind. I think you know my opinions about Mayfield. (uber competitive, crazy accurate, plenty mobile- but not quite the arm of the first two) also Josh Cowboy needs to be way more accurate before I'd be interested.
It could get real interesting at the top of the draft. The Jets GM went on record if his qb is there he may want to move up. Assuming (and I think it's almost a forgone conclusion) we're taking a qb with the #1 overall, and almost as likely the Giants will take the qb we don't- The Colts #3 comes into play, and our #4. If the Broncos and Jets want to trade up. I'd have no problem moving down to #5 or #6. Just none of this trade down into the 20s again crap.

In this draft, I get the feeling that we might be seen 3 QBs gone even with first three picks: Rosen-Mayfield-Darnold (idk the order). What other QBs could show up in the top 10? Lamar Jackson? Maybe another QB which in other circumstances wouldn't be a top 10?
I plan on doing a thread of teams looking for a QB. I think this year's is pretty long.
