RG all in

[Hikohadon]

Not sure if you mean it or are trying to be tongue-in-cheek about 1st Round QB's, but regardless:

Early 1st Round QB's have won 6 of the last 7 SB's. The only exception was Brees, who was a high 2nd Round pick (at #32, he'd be a 1st Rounder today).

Of the 27 teams that we can reasonably say have "known" starters, 22 of those have 1st round or high 2nd Round picks. The only 5 "known" starters outside of the 1st and early 2nd are Tom Brady (6th), Tony Romo (undrafted), Matt Cassel (7th), Matt Schaub (3rd), and Ryan Fitzpatrick (7th).

That would be with counting Andrew Luck as the starter in Indy, which means there's a Peyton Manning floating around that one of those 5 teams with "unknown" starters will likely snatch up and make the number 23 of 28.

And if the Browns get RG3, it'll be 24 of 29. Hell, the Fins might draft Tannehill and start him, that would be 25 of 30.

I counted the Cardinals, Seahawks, Browns, Dolphins, and Redskins as teams with "unknown" QB situations. Since Chad Henne (2nd round) is a FA, the Fins HAVE to do something. But there is a slight possibility the other teams could stand pat, which gives us: Kevin Kolb (2nd-36), Tarvaris Jackson (2nd-64), Rex Grossman (1st-22), and Colt McCoy (3rd-85).

No matter how you look at it, the number of teams with 1st and high 2nd round QB's is staggering.

[mattvan1]

I was officially on the RG3 bandwagon before SD, don't front.

Maybe.... But I'm not standing next to you anywhere. Good way to get fragged.

And I was there before you. FACT.

Anyway, let's not squabble. Let's just sit back and laugh at the post where SoulDawg called RG3 (paraphrasing here) some snot nosed kid still wet behind the ears and crappin in his underoos

Or something to that effect. To SoulDawg's credit, once he realized a couple of white boys were all in on a black QB he jumped on the RG3 bandwagon as fast as he could.

Being on a bandwagon in your own head doesn't count matt... not my fault I happened to catch the TCU - Baylor game and you were afraid to make any preseason declarations...

I stood in the hair salon JTA was opening with his wife on a Friday night late August/early September and listened to JTA talk about the improvement in RG3's touch, mechanics and trajectory while he put up walls and waxed floors (I brought beer so I wasn't useless).

Don't let that stop your two-man circle jack though

Never claimed that I was some type of uber draftnik and way ahead of the curve. Just that I was there before Lee and we were both there waaaaay ahead of SoulDawg. That's all that really matters.

Besides, JTA is like the resident draft expert and I'm just some guy who happens to live in B12 territory.

Anyway, what type of beer did you bring? And what's a bald dude doing in a hair salon anyway?

Yes- you guys were all there before Souldawg. I just did the search...

Points well taken and I concur.
We are all on the same team, we need a fucking franchise QB and some more talent around him if we are ever going to get off that sad short list of "never been to the Super Bowl."

I did check the stats and was surprised Bart Starr, Johnny U, Roger Staubach, Ken Stabler, and Brett Favre were not 1st rounders. I knew Rypien, Warner, Hostettler, Montana, Brady and Brees weren't. Which does put the Super Bowl winning QB 1st rounders at 25/45=55%. I thought it would be higher.

Luckily Dilfer & Doug Willams were in there to surprise me they were 1st rounders. :)

Okay screw it, I am jumping on the bandwagon, that's about 1 3/8 inches taller then I thought he would come in at.

I don't so much worry about the system he played in at college , as much as I worry about the ability of the Browns coaching staff to adapt to his special talents, but that's what those guys make the big bucks for.

As long as he is half as smart as everyone says he is , he should get a good Wonderlic score and be a shoe in to abide by the 26-27-60 rule.

If the Browns have to trade up to get him, I would still prefer it be a 1st and 37th, as opposed to 1st and 22nd

For those wondering:

Here is the gist of it: If an NFL prospect scores at least a 26 on the Wonderlic test, starts at least 27 games in his college career and completes at least 60 percent of his passes, there's a good chance he will succeed at the NFL level.
There are, of course, exceptions. If NFL general managers always could measure heart, determination and other intangibles, then Tom Brady would not have been drafted in the sixth round.
But short of breaking down tape, conducting personal interviews and analyzing every number and every snap of every game, remember the Rule of 26-27-60 the next time a hotshot prospect comes down the pike.
Since 1998, these are some of the NFL quarterbacks who aced all three parts of the Rule of 26-27-60: Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Stafford.

Love him even more now. Now I have zero doubts about trading up to get him. Get it done Heckert.

[Gradysmanldy]

If you thought the hype train was rolling before, whew. Going to gain some massive steam now.

Also: I can't help but think this is the best position to make the choices they need to make the Browns will ever get. (Shurmur confirms that they can basically do whatever they want in this draft, sans make a play for Luck) Any guy they REALLY want is available.

Going to be a hell of a ride.

[peeker643]

That's one concern alleviated for me.

Still really want to hear about the ability to add to frame and still want to see what comes of his interviews. Not going to know what's valid vs. what's smoke being blown up asses, but still, should get a better idea than we have today.

And if you think hype train is rolling now, wait til he works out, runs 40, etc. It'll be outta control.

According to this rule of thumb, Colt McCoy was to be the greatest QB in the history of QBs.

ETA: did they bump the Wonderlic to 26 to get out from under Colt & his 25? I swear I remember Colt supposedly being the superest example you could be of a QB prospect according to some set of measurables first put in place, IIRC, by Bill Parcells, and I thought these were maybe them?

Now I'm confused. Maybe ESPN did some hybrid 26/27/60 & Parcells standard prior to Colt's draft or something.

Shrug?

You didn't have access to the height and weight measurements either. But lookie here!!! Holy shit, there it is.

And you didn't administer Colt's wonderlic or Jamarcus Russel's and yet ya know what they are. And you don't have a HIPPA release for Richardson's meds yet you know about that too!!!!

Miracles!!!!

Tool.

And Lee, unless he just gained 7 lbs after breakfast they just said he's 223. That ain't 230. Quit skewing the numbers to support the pov. That's a statmasta/Pros trick

He has a sprinter's frame. Given he was a sprinter that makes sense. Weight and frame ain't the same shit and you know that. No more so that Love and Sullinger having similar height weight makes them the same.

No. I want to know about that pesky 'reading the defense/blitz recognition/adjusting in real time' thing. Although I'm close to standing up on a table with you and Hiko in Panini's and leading a soccer-style song if they take him. Then we can cry and get more beers and go home because they won't have any more picks til 2016.

Is it wrong that I actually look forward to Gruden sitting the kid down and seeing what comes of that? Really looking forward to that.

I barely even read the post on it and thought 228, MY BAD.

as for weight and frame, feh. Lean muscle holds joints together and is the single most important thing. If you want him to fatten up ahead, but 223 pounds of pure muscle is pretty damn good. When you get hurt you focus on building up supporting muscles, not gaining more pounds. Just is what it is.

But it's still easier to put muscle on a frame that supports it, no?

Maybe it's not a concern. He's just a guy with slender hips/build. I don't know if that portends to durability issues. I do know I want a guy who's durable. Does me no good if he's Jesus Shuttlesworth but only for 9 games a year.

But hey, you can look at a guy like Kolb at 6'3" 225lbs and one of his strengths in most reports was his build and durability. That hasn't exactly translated either.

[e0y2e3]

In this day and age a running QB isn't going to get hurt because of his frame, he is going to first get hurt by being concussed and second have some fat fuck land on him wrong, neither of these things are frame issues.

Dude wasn't allowed to throw in the majors until he was eligible to collect social security and at 102 years old he could smoke anybody in the World with his heat .

RG3 has the same type lithe musculariture .

It allows him to throw a pass 50 yard bullets with the seamless effort of tossing a five yard pass .

Effortless power , from long sinews and a body fat ratio so lean , he'd probably sink like an anchor even with a Life Jacket .

Two things I KNOW they weren't doing:

1. Accurately measuring how effing tall he is since no one knew until this morning.

2. Talking to a kid who hadn't declared for the NFL draft about NFL blitz packages and defenses that they were showing him personally.

They also weren't permitted to medically go through that kid with a fine tooth comb and look at the past surgical site and anything else that came up.

If y'all want to claim y'all knew back two years ago that this was the guy that's fine. Apparently there's a race of some sort.

I'm betting no one takes him until the end of April and that they know more about him in the next week than they did before then.

Or maybe not. Maybe no one's there looking at him and talking to him at all given they saw the TCU game.

What a bunch of Johnny-Come-Latelys in this thread. If you would have heeded e0's words five weeks ago—like I did—every one of you would be RG all in.

e0's wisdom trumps all.

Bannable offense. Just sayin'...

Somewhere Matt has the quote of SD ripping RG3 to shreds when Matt, myself and DOODOO had already started taking serious notice.

That is the funniest thing to happen in this Browns board in some time.

SD has to have whiplash from the bullshit turn around he made.

At the Dr.'s last week, I came in at 6'2, 223 lbs. And I need to lose about 10.

Seems to me RG3 is plenty packed together to survive - he's Safety size.

SD:

My post are here , when I made my first comments on RG3 , they circled around maturity issues because of his youth and my research wasn't in on that area yet .

I wanted to know for sure if there was man behind the athlete or just a fuckin knothead with talent .

The limited film looked like Madden which was almost too good to be true , which required further due dilligience as the kid came out of nowhere totally bypassing my radar , because i knew naught of him the year prior after concentrating on last years draft class especially and particularly Cam Newton who i pitched the browns trading up for long before it became envogue to do so .

and while Cam was clearly the bigger more physical prize , my notes on Griffin had him as the superior passer from jump , likened his touch to the silky smooth deliveries of Warren moon , while noting his release was quicker than Dan Marino's and more in tune with a Cobra strike ,when in truth its much faster and probably more on the speed of a Black Momba .

this kid took me by surprise , but he took me by storm , once i was all in .

Rg3 at the NFL combine. Did great in his podium interview. Browns fans would love this guy."

Is there anyone in Berea/CPD still on Team Colt?

RG3 must be talking specifically to Peek...

Griffin also said he's eager to get on the grease board with teams and show him he knows schemes. There is a perception the Baylor offense is simplistic and RG3 might have trouble picking up NFL concepts.

Not true, he said.

"I can't wait to show teams what I know," he said.
