CLEOTHA "CLEO" LEMON, JR.
By: Dave-Te' Thomas

#12-CLEOTHA "CLEO" LEMON, JR. Arkansas State University Indians

ANALYSIS
Positives... Well-built athlete whose solid frame could add a few more pounds without any loss of quickness...Has excellent speed for his position...Drop-back passer who stays very cool under pressure...Effective short range passer who has the zip behind his fades to hit receivers in stride...Though not elusive, he can slide from pressure...Has an over-the-top delivery with good wrist action.

Negatives... Too quiet in the huddle, rarely showing his leadership ability...Despite his quickness, he seems very hesitant to run with the ball, and when he does, he does nor secure the pigskin properly to prevent the fumble...Too often his passes will either sail over the receiver's head or be under-thrown to the point where it is impossible to come back for his off-target tosses...Has poor footwork dropping back to his release point... Lacks instincts in picking up the blitz and is often caught by the pass rushers as he does not sense when the pocket is collapsing...His overall accuracy on his tosses need a drastic upgrade...While he has no problems grasping the play-book, that intelligence does not translate on the field due to his poor decision-making...Passes tend to wobble on his attempts to throw long.

Cleo looks like a bigger Martin Lawrence. :lol:

Hope he won't be a lemon or a Madame Cleo. ;)

Wow.. Sure sounds like an upgrade over Feeley.. :shakeno:

Anyway, looks like the move was more caprelated.. Hope we get a 5th too.

That ability to sail passes over recievers heads and the fact that his accuracy needs a drastic upgrade makes him the perfect backup for Gus. We won't miss a beat now if Gus gets knocked out of the game.

:lol:

Thats what I was thinking.
 
Thanks guys looks like Saban was just getting rid of a problem. I hope we go after Rivers since SD will be looking for picks and Saban has some to spare.

I'm all for the trading of Feeley, but besides saving money on the cap for next year, I just don't see how this improves the team. This now leaves us with a horrible starting QB in Gus and Sage who is not truely battle tested. I pray that the injury bug doesn't hit this position or we are in big trouble.

so in other words we got a younger more mobile version of Gus with less pocket presence. Hope that 5th rounder works out for us
