This. Big Ben is excused because he is proven. NFL teams do not like investing 1st round money (plus the opportunity costs of the pick itself) on someone who has drug problems. Casual drug issues as a broke kid with coaches and trainers on your arse all day tend to become much worse when you throw millions of dollars and less oversight at it.

Why is Kyper dropping him out of the first? Obviously its not his "off field issues" but rather his on-field issues....

simmer on that a bit

I think it's a combination of both. Too many rumors of drug use by Mallet for there not to be some truth in it, but that would have been mitigated somewhat had he won the Sugar Bowl.

IOW they are definitely piling on the alleged off field problems because of the very real on field problems, but that doesn't mean there aren't real off field issues.

virtually EVERY NFL expert who is on record as saying that Locker is the most complete QB to come out of college in the last 3 years, at least,


wtf??? link???

most experts don't even expect him to go first in THIS draft, much less say he's the "most complete QB in the past 3 years."

Who here has not heard about drug rumors associated with RM? I have, and not on the message boards either.

That was my bad, I was thinking of Luck when I wrote that post.

I still believe it's Luck,Locker,Mallet,Gabbert.

Luck's not in the draft.

ed: my guess for draft order would be Gabbert (don't know why he's getting so much hype, but he's getting it), Mallet/Cam, Locker

Yes I realize, doesn't change the fact that I think he's more ready than the others.

I've only seen what was started on TD.com...

The Leadership stuff is bullshite too because anybody could see he was our leader...it was spoken by every player on the team ever interviewed...

Once the combine happens and meetings w/ GM's he'll go earlier than draft experts predicting...

I actually believe Mallet, Gabbert, and Locker will all go before Cam.

Just something about Gus's offense which I don't think NFL scouts are looking at his QBs and thinking there is a guy ready for the NFL. Obviously Cam will get his chance, but I don't see him being a first round guy.

I've heard things around the nam. I don't share those b/c they're definitely hearsay.

I could see it happening. Ryan Mallett = Jimmy Clausen.

Please...Jimmy Clausen wishes he had Mallet's physical talent. However, they both come across quite douchey and have a sense of entitlement. However, I believe Clausen has a triple digit IQ (something Mallet is not in possession of).

oh and a few other things:

yet you continued to argue that Locker (not Luck) is such an awesome quarterback that every hog fan was being a dumbass homer for calling you out on that being false.

and you continued even after someone posted the stats and team of Locker ("we both know that numbers don't tell the complete story" ).

basically, you're a troll. the board would be better if you just went away.

I'd take Gabbert over Mallet and Mallet definitely over Locker


Big 12 defenses are wayyyyy better than SEC, so I agree with this.

I just can't see Mallett dropping past late first round. Pat White, Brian Brohm, Chad Henne, John Beck, Drew Stanton, and Jimmy Clausen were all 2nd round picks and I look for Mallett to have a better combine/pro day than all of them.
