Pre-Combine QB Poll V1.0

[Exoter175]

Simple Poll to see where the fandom sits as a whole.

I honestly only think there are 4 that matter at this point, but I'll add a fifth in for the sake of the most recent mock thread.

Option A: Geno Smith, Duh.
Option B: Matt Barkley, because his name is Matt from USC, and we love Matt's from USC
Option C: Tyler Wilson, Because CP Lexicon
Option D: That one guy Glennon, because bad mock draft
Option E: Tyler Bray in the 2nd round, because it is a safe move and you get BPA in round 1.

This is my first poll, I'm going to mess it all up!

I'll definitely watch more of Nassib over the next few days. I've been eating my weight in Geno film lately since the mock draft thread. I like what I see from a potential WCO perspective if Reid lands here, but I hate the McNabb comparisons for better and worse.

I really think Geno would be best in a Coryell base that utilizes PA down the field, double moves and a zone run scheme that incorportates PA off of the stretch play, as he has enough speed to get to the 7 (which isn't a huge deal but it helps) and then effectively run PA off it.

Ideally, I think Kelly + Norv would be a great fit for him. The intriguing thing about Reid is his tendency to use PA and stretch/inside zone plays when he has a rookie or backup QB.

Indeed, call me crazy but I think Wilson is the safest pick between those two.

Ehhh, I like the screen game Reid runs better than Norv, at least for the toolset we have here in KC if Geno were to come to town. I think between Charles and McCluster you'll have the finesse you need out of the back field to really open up a lot of designed stretch plays and screen plays that will allow us to toss some naked PA boots in there where I think Geno could tear it up in man coverage assuming Bowe stays here.

I don't think Wilson is safer given his lack of mobility within the pocket and concussion issues, as well as others I've previously stated. This is coming from a guy pimping Wilson all of last year.

I think that both Andy and Norv's screen games would work great. You must not remember how Norv utilized LT in the screen game and as a chip+release option.

The thing that concerns me about Andy is whether he'll allow someone to operate a 1-gap 3-4 front. Based on his previous desire/usage of a fire-zone philosophy, I'd be inclined to think he'd be okay with our 3-4 front provided it used a fire-zone based philosophy.

I think that when you compare them all on tape, Bray has the much better arm + strength of schedule throughout his career. He also has a poor release point, throwing motion, is inconsistent, and also has character issues stemming from throwing beer bottles.

Glennon has a solid arm but is shaky. Worse than Flacco coming from Delaware. Poor decision making, tends to check down on plays that don't warrant it, and consistently struggles on making throws outside the hash (deep outs, corners). I'd love to take him if my entire team was ready to compete and we were drafting at #25 or he could sit for 2+ years.

I think that Nassib's ability to move within the pocket along with his release is significantly better than both.

I think that the QBs will go Geno, Wilson, Barkley, Nassib, Glennon although any variation of the last 3 wouldn't shock me. Bray can sneak in there but he'd have to wow in interviews and throw well ( motion-wise) at his pro-day/combine.

It is as if Sorter sees with my eyes. Creepy. Are you coming to the senior bowl or what?

It is the weekend after classes start.

If I can swing it (probably), we'll be sitting next to each other sunglasses, pencil, paper, and all.

I do remember how Norv utilized LT, I also remember how Andy utilized McCoy and Westbrook. I prefer Reid's way

And I'm calling Wilson the safer pick because I have questions on Geno's overall arm strength, and well as his progression. That Texas game showed him being really slow through his progression and holding on to the ball too long and taking a sack. I feel Wilson is faster in that regard.

While that's probably true, the poll question was asking for our choice not our prediction.

Here's what your poll would have looked like the year future superstar Tom Brady was drafted:

0 Chad Pennington
0 Giovanni Carmazzi
0 Chris Redman
0 Tee Martin
0 Marc Bulger

Poll fail AFAIC.

And those OU quarterbacks have done so well in the NFL, right?

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything honestly, these 5 are, as I see it, the top 5 QBs going into combine, pre Senior Bowl. I'm not looking to have 75 QBs listed right now, just a general concensus selection of guys who could A, be taken right now, or B, move up enough at the Senior Bowl or combine to challenge that spot.

Agreed, not a Jones fan.
