why the hype behind this guy? Some people are talking about this guy like he's going to win the Heisman. Anyone think he may not end up as good as advertised?

Petrino and pro style quarterbacks go great together. I think he will live up to expectations finally.

<====This guy.
Dont get me wrong I think that he will be a good SEC QB. But hes not the next Peyton Manning. If he was really that good he wouldve committed to Bama out high school.

highly recruited player out of HS with good size and arm strength, has some freshman playing experience at a top program, now under a coach known for developing great QBs in a system that puts up big QB numbers. Not that hard to understand.
I think he'll be pretty good, but it would be hard for anybody to live up to the hype.

I only want Mallet to be better than what we've had in the recent past and to be as good as he is capable of being this year. If it's significantly better, then that’s great. You have to remember the numbers Dick put up last year with 3 true freshmen WR contributing heavily and not much depth at the RB spot, especially when Smith went down.
I’m not trying to belittle Casey Dick’s abilities, but he was no Division 1 QB. He just didn’t have the arm strength or the ability to quickly read a defense and call the right audible. Mallet has both and then some.
I’ve heard NFL analysis predict Mallett will be one of the top QB’s taken in the NFL draft when he comes out. Talent, potential and Petrinos’ coaching make for great optimism among Razorback Fans and rightfully so. I think Mallet will have some great games this year and will absolutely torch some SEC defenses but he will probably have a sub-par game or two as well. We can only hope his level of performance is against the right teams.

He'll be pretty damn good IMO.
