HawkeyeJet Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 He's Matthew Stafford as a thrower. He's young Alex Smith as a runner. I don't know who he is as decision maker and that's what really matters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Also, I think the assertion that he is big is misleading. He's tall for certain, but he's very thin/lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why scouting QBs is so hard. Nobody knows how well these guys will process information when facing an NFL pass rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, 1 + 256, divide by 2, multiple times feelings, consider the "can't be wrong on the Internet" factor... and you get: Buchanan wasn't a real #1. He was one of those fake ones.

The Chiefs picked Staubach in the 16th round. Talk about a value pick! Read the stories about the Chiefs and (I think it was the Cowboys) trying to trick each other about what hotel Buchanan was at. I think somebody climbed down a balcony to sign him. It reminded me of the stories about Oklahoma State leasing Dickerson a Cadillac and SMU signing him and picking up the payments. He took a pay cut when he was drafted! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep lotta gamesmanship in those days. No team wanted to burn a high pick on a player that would ultimately sign with the other league. Many deals were done before the draft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Davis was with the Chargers, he supposedly signed Lance Alworth on the field after his last college game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @ 6'6/220 lbs he's built like a Peyton Manning type of horse (6'5/230) which gives him an advantage in terms of seeing the game over the L.O.S. However due to his A+ arm strength, mobility, efficiency and style of play he's always reminded me of an identical clone of a younger Aaron Rodgers (in terms of how they play the position)..
