    yeah, me too. SO...

    I think I want to study the qb's, wr's and rb's most of all the positions in the combine.

    I'm looking for Mike White, Darnold and Allen to light it up.

    and I keep wondering about Eq? St. Brown - and a few others, like D. J. Chark to light it up.

    and Ballage. we'll see.

  • ...and here I thought this thread was about the combine.  Silly me.

    The Dilfer article is clearly in favor of Rosen. You contradict your own innane ramblings. 

    I saw the video of that interview.

    College QB have and will improve in the NFL because of the right offense, coaching and talent around them.

    No.

    No, no, no.

    This is a direct example of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

    If this was true, Josh Allen cannot fail - he can only be failed.  But the reality of life is that "right" NEVER happens.. and people in all phases of life will always need to overcome bad something-or-other within their team to achieve.  If you don't think that's true -- suck it up, snowflake.

    During the season is probably not going to happen - rather, during the offseason Allen could see any number of QB people such as Adam Dedeaux [Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Dalton, Wentz] on his own to improve.. and even so far this offseason you can find articles on each of those 4 spending time with Dedeaux.

    People will improve because they are self-aware enough to BOTH recognize and internalize their own flaws AND summon the desire to overcome those items - simply to be the best player they can be. They're adults - they won't do anything just for somebody else and will definitely half-butt it if improvement is phrased as a "requirement."

    Notice those last 2 sentences had nothing to do with athletics... that's how personal growth happens to everyone throughout life.

    First off, I aint a snowflake. Secondly, Allen will be overcoming something in his life.

    My statement is FACT. QBs have improved from labled with low completions numbers and they became stars in the NFL.

    But, but, but, but...the stats. His completion numbers are HOF material.

    Like Mariota and Winston have?

    Which is the "right" offense, might I ask?   You're just spouting words at this point and about to be put on ignore.  

    Also...  John Boy had 3 future NFL players in front of him, a top 20 receiver and for all that "best conference in the NCAA" cowpoop... of the 3 best teams in said conference, he beat only 1 of them...    once.   Bama' in 12.   Couldn't get by LSU twice, Florida or Bama the second time and a defensive deficient Mizzou his final year.

    Stop using that Shmucker as any type of comparison for anything otherwise you're just trolling.  

    I don't support Rosen because of his "stats".    I back the kid because he's flashed high level traits and moments in nearly every game I've watched that would point to a quality NFL starter.

    The right offense is not one where Allen is rushing the ball. Look up his rushing attempts and figure it out for yourself because I dont have time to explain to you.

    That doesn't have jackshit to do with anything and is a terrible argument to make. 

    Would I select a HoF'er today knowing how they played? Of Shmucking course.    In 2000 would have I selected Tom Brady because, Gee-Shmucking-whiz, he'll improve on his completion % and command because that just "HAS" to be the norm.

    With a franchise in the state the Browns are, you make the sensible and pragmatic picks that make sense based on numbers, interviews, tape and evals.   That player is Rosen.  

    Only thing that worries me  Tia is the concussions. Another couple and he's done before gets going.

    Sure, some QBs have improved. You're quoting exceptions to prove the rule. Most of them don't. The fail rate in the NFL says so. It's possible Allen could improve his accuracy and have an Elway level career. Odds say a Blaine Gabbert, Derek Anderson outcome is more likely.

    Everything needs to be viewed in proper context. Allen was NOT in a Pro style offense. The talent around him was sub par to say the least.

    Teams are looking at Allens potential. What steps they can take to bring up those passing numbers. The Spread offense does wonders for some QBs.

    He wasn't in a pro style offense????  Cal has been telling us for months that he was in a pro style offense that's why his numbers aren't as high as the other QBs?   So can you Allen humpers get your story straight?

    Based on nothing concrete, just a hunch, I think the Browns turn in Sam Darnold's name with the #1 pick.

    Comparing Allen to Jamarcus Russel is no compliment, but Mayock brings up an excellent point about Haley and the type of QB that excels in his offense. When I look at Allen I see another Ben. 

    The comment about footwork is a good one too. People underestimate how important QB motor skills are like footwork. The wrong stance can effect your throws. Brady still has a QB coach that he works with to this day. Several years ago, Brady was telegraphing when he would throw under center after he had won 3 Super Bowls. I believe that Allen rusting the ball had an effect on his passing too.The whole proper throwing sequence can get off so easily, just like a baseball pitcher or hitter. They have played baseball their whole lives good enough to reach the big leagues, but are suddenly doing something wrong.

    So you think the positioning for carrying a football is the same as a QB's throwing motion?
