Blowing up the QB rankings

Verifies everything I told my wife when we returned from a visit to N.O. before Katrina (#2 on that 2015 chart). I told her to never take me in that warzone again. That place had more damn self preservation antenna pickups going on than any place I've been since Vietnam. But she's so oblivious they could have every corner drug dealer armed with AR-15s and she would not have seen a damn thing.
EDIT: And even worse now.

Are we doing a Browns Board road tailgate in New Orleans this year? They do play there. I was scheduled to go to Houston last year...with side trip to NOLA and other parts of Cajun Cuntry.
It would be cool.....but I am leary of it being hurricane season.
We shall see when the schedule comes out. When does that come out? Mid April? (to me...they should be able to come out with it in early march...nothing is going to change...what can change?)
And note....the murder rate in NOLA has gone down from 94 per 100K in 2007 to 41 per 100K in 2015. So..that is something.

Usually the schedule comes out the week before the draft. We already know the Eagles will have the first game Thursday night against a TBD opponent. Hmmm looking at their opponents- could be the Cowboys.

Jackson's biggest issue is his mechanics, particularly footwork. It has gotten better but not ideal. He has a very skinny base which you would think will lead to inaccuracy. He seems to overcome it, but Im sure some NFL Defensive minds can conjure up a way to make that an issue.
Darnold has a slow delivery, which can cause major issues with the defensive speed of the NFL game, particularly with consistency as he forces himself to be a second faster in his decision making.
Allen is all over the place. His arm is strong but there is not much else to like. His footwork needs to improve as does his pocket awareness. His arm talent reminds me of Kizer, in that he forces some throws which cause him to miss the mark.
Rosen's body is not ideal. He has good mechanics (you can tell his parents sent him to a bunch of camps growing up) but I wonder about his instincts and intangibles. The sped up NFL game could be overwhelming if he doesnt put in the film work.
Mayfield... if he was 2 inches taller he would be a no-brainer 1st pick. I said the EXACT same thing about Russell Wilson a few years ago, and he turned out alright. He didnt play against good D often but when he did, he performed well. Arm is good enough which is all you really need.
1. Mayfield, 2. Rosen, 3. Darnold, 4. Jackson, 5. Allen
I think 4 of 5 of those guys have a good shot at being quality starters. I just hope at least one of them is... the one the Browns pick.

good post..spun some Allen tape the other night. reason was, After seeing Allen's percentage of completion field chart. shows he misses almost everything he throws to the left side of field. for the life of me it looks like his feet & hips finally work together throwing left, but his release point shows he only has 1 gear.. like Kizer.."R" for Rip it in & behind WR's..

After reading this thread, I noticed a certain someone flip flopping. That's it. That is how the genius uses to say he gets everything right. I remember in another thread he said that the top QB was Mayfield. So before the draft, Allen, Darnold, and Rosen will all be mentioned as the top guy by the same person

It's impossible to be wrong when you back every single player as being the best player in the draft.

That way they can say AH-HA I told you he was the one.......and hope nobody remembers the other stuff. Even the so called media experts can't agree on the top 5 quarterbacks this year in any order.

He has learned the art of deflection away from his buddy Paxton Lynch. He got burned by picking just that one so now it's cover all bases.

Or then turn around and say: "I told you all that this guy would be crap...I predicted it."
It would be like me saying: "I told you that the Browns should have drafted a skinny QB out of Michigan as the #1 overall pick in the draft instead of that Zumba instructor of a DLineman out of Penn St.."
When....the fact is....he probably said qabout 2007 beforehand: We should trade up to draft that monster QB out of LSU....and not waste our time with like an OT out of Wisconsin at #3....trade up and get the best talent". That would have been more his style.
Fair to say?

Yep.
And then certain players are the biggest bust in a decade before they step on the field, while others who have been in league longer and seen the field need and deserve more time.
AND even when wrong multiple times about the most decorated QB of all time (Brady), it's still I was right about him. If he does anything, it's the other team being cheated and when he loses, he's done I was right. 1 out of 5 is good average right? That's 100% accuracy.

Walter football has Lamar Jackson the #1 QB in the class and the #10 overall prospect.
After that it's Rosen 11, Darnold 12, Allen 21, and Mayfield all the way down at 49.
I don't agree with the rankings but it's nice to be the only one in the Jackson corner

LOL, neither do I. Um, that's not Walter- it's Charlie Campbell's ranking. Here's Walter's QB rankings . http://walterfootball.com/draft2018QB.php
FWIW, both Charlie and Walter have Jackson going #28 to the Steelers. I won't argue with Gipper anymore about rankings\ mock draft. To me it's inconceivable you can rate a QB prospect #1 at his position, and then post a mock draft where 3-4 other QBs get drafted before him. http://walterfootball.com/draft2018charlie.php If you're going to do that- put a disclaimer on your rankings saying it's based on future potential.

Isn't EVERY ranking and mock draft based on future potential?
And I am right in saying that basically EVERY publication fails to follow its draft prospect rankings in their Mock drafts. Because they are generally done by different writers employed by the same company.
HELL.....even when the Mocks and the rankings are done by the same writer......they don't follow their own rankings. Look at any Kiper or McShay ranking....then look at their mocks. Nothing alike!

Mock drafts are about rumors and trying to project where the player will land.
Lamar is obviously a unique prospect. If someone thinks they can continue to develop him as a passer, they would be crazy not to pick him up.

True.....in the 3rd round.

What makes him so unique? It's not like we haven't seen QB's with his skill set try to make it in the NFL before.
That said, if it means Lamar going to Pittsburgh then by all that is holy, I hope he goes 1st round. They're due for a bad stretch of drafts.

He broke a bunch of ncaa records. Mike Vick is the closest player that could do what he does and even Mike Vick said he's better.
Go do your scouting on him and you'll see most of his problems are pretty coachable.

Oh I've watched him in passing... didn't see Vick at all. Reminds me of Vince in a way though.

I generally think that they go by the position ranking though (aside from AN, SOMETIMES). So even if the Nelson kid is rated as the top player on the big board, they don't have him going #1.
Unless I am mistaken, which is certainly possible, the mock drafts try to predict what a team is going to do and needs. So while you may have Darnold as 1, and someone else has Rosen as 1, and Slugger has Jackson as 1, Kiper may think the Browns will take Allen or Mayfield. People may think these guys are idiots, and they may be, but a lot of it is for entertainment purposes, and while possible idiots, they have A LOT of access to the teams

The one I referred to Gip ranking\ mock was done by the same guy. Charlie Campbell- Walter Football, sorry- wrong on that count. Sure, the reason rankings\ mocks get screwed up and skewed is to a large part the mocks go out the window on rankings because of the huge premium for Quarterbacks for teams that don't have them. Jeremiah has Darnold and Rosen ranked #6 & #7, but I wouldn't bet against them going 1-2 in the draft.
& please, will you kindly admit that the CBS ranking of Randolph as the #1 QB prospect is an outlier? Sure, some rankings go seriously wrong- but most of the time, they're at least close to how the draft position actually falls. That doesn't mean a guy ranked & drafted low can't succeed. Hindsight is always 20\20- you can bet that 2007 the rankings and draft order there would have been a lot different. A lot of those rankings go on measurables and college production. Why IMHO Allen is ranked so high- he can throw the ball out of the stadium. I'll trust Jeremiah- who actually worked in an NFL teams scouting department- where Mason isn't even in his top 50 prospects, over some guy at CBS with a keyboard and Internet access.
