Agreed. He reminds me of Jake Locker or Blake Bortles. Big strong guy with a rocket arm who "looks the part" of an NFL quarterback.alexwilkins wrote:Josh Allen. He wasn’t even the best QB in the Mountain West. Let alone the country.
Not impressed.
What high-end player do you just not get?

For me, it's Roquan Smith in the top 10.
Don't get me wrong, he's a good player. But he's a smaller LB who makes hay in space. When I watched his tape though, he can't shed a block to save his life. And yet some people project him as an inside guy. I don't get that at all. To me, he's a 4-3 WLB who can play coverage and run like hell and tackle people. Perfect fit for that role. But serviceable LBs who can run around in space are not that difficult to find. It's kinda like RBs these days. Again, I'm not saying Smith won't be a good NFL player. But he does have a particular weakness, lacks prototypical size, is at a low priority position and I don't know that he fits well in a 3-4.

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".
Go back to leather helmets, NFL.
