Before tonight I had completely written off Mr. Mallet based on what I had heard concerning his character. I fell in love with Ryan Mallet when I watched him in the Army High School All American game almost 6 years ago and after watching the sugar bowl I remember why. The guy has a live arm! the ball jumps out of his hands like none other.

But we all know that there are other things that are more important than are strength. Leadership abilities and maturity are important things for QBs to have. And many people believe that Mallett lacks these things and I can't blame them. When you here Mallett talk he sounds like a gangster and he's not above playing jokes that some might consider immature like the one he played on the lovely Erin Andrews. The Links to the Erina Andrews thing and a few interviews are below.

So after watching the Sugar Bowl I got to thinking. Ryan Mallet obviously can make all the throws, he's got prototypical size, and he might still be available at 15. But everyone says that he has character issues. He's almost a perfect fit.

I sat here for awhile and realized that I don't care if Ryan Mallet sounds like a gangster and that I too I would punish Erin Andrews (already knew that part). The guy may be a child in terms a maturity which is a concern but he clearly has the mental ability to be successful as a QB, you can see it with the command he has of the offense. He knows where everyone is and he has the arm to get the ball to all of them.

The guy might bomb the Wonderlic but as long as he can stay out of trouble and win games I don't care if he reminds me of Paul Wall. I'm definitely not saying that Mallett is the guy but he is definitely back on my list.
 
He will definitely bomb the Wonderlic. After what I seen tonight, definitely bombing that thing.

Character issues are always a concern. This is a business. You can't put a guy with character issues into a leadership position and then hand him millions of dollars and the key to your franchise. Those days are gone as far as teams with any brains. This is also why we shouldn't touch Cam Newton.

Mallet has all of the skills needed, but he panics under pressure. That kid couldn't step up in the pocket and make a throw all night long. And this is against an Ohio State team that might blitz once or twice a game. They get all of their pressure off of their front four. What happens when Mallet is in the NFL and teams are stacking eight in the box and sending the house? Take Mallet and put him with the Dolphins against a good blitzing defense like the Jets and behind a garbage offensive line like we have.

You tell me what result we'll have...

Sugar Bowl is being replayed on ESPN right now. Watch what I'm saying about Ohio State blitzing and the pressure they bring with Heyward and the defensive line. Watch Mallet's footwork when pressured. It's almost like he's wearing concrete boots. Watch how he panics and makes poor throws when the Buckeyes get pressure. And his inability to see the defensive lineman dropping into coverage on the final play of the game was just pathetic.
 
Yeah I'm watching right now. When there's pressure in his face he doesn't really step up and throw through it. But at the same time I was really impressed with a lot of throws. The two TDs on the fade route were absolutely perfect!!!! It was amazing to watch. On the second one the Ohio State CB just had the "well there's nothing I can do about that" look. Ryan Mallet is back on the potential QB list for me. I honestly need to watch some replays of their other games. I haven't seen enough lowlights.
 
Keep watching. Mallett has to step up a lot of times in this game. And Ohio State's secondary isn't exactly anything great either. Receivers getting open wasn't going to be a problem for Arkansas. Mallett didn't have any problem hitting open receivers but they had a problem catching them.

Also consider that Bobby Petrino is an offensive genius as well as a QB coach. Petrino could take almost anyone and make chicken salad out of chicken ****.
 
Hopefully a successful gangster if he comes here, not one with syphilis like Capone or one that gets executed like Clyde Barrow.

He really didn't do well under pressure. I just saw the pick at the end of the game. He didn't even see the DE dropping back and more importantly he tried to throw the ball with all arm strength instead of stepping up (in his defense there wasn't much room). He really should have taken the sack there.

And this is off topic but I loved that when they asked Pryor if he'd be back he said "Alright".
 
The dude is a sack waiting to happen.

He's big Ben without the mobility and improvisation skills = EPIC FAIL at the NFL level

My gut feeling is that Cincy takes him. He'd fit in nicely there.
 
I don't understand why you all are saying he has character issues??? In all the interviews I have seem of him he seems to have a very high level of intellect, so he talks a little gangsta and plays jokes.. I don't understand why every one doubts this kid he is not RYAN LEAF... From what I saw last night I would be glad to have him in rd1, plus he celebrates after a td and seems to be a good leader on offense.. It wasnt his falt the WR's dropped a lot of nicely thrown balls..
 
I'll just say if any QB has to face a front 4 that is eating up your oline and getting pressure and they get to put 7 in coverage, lots of QBs are going to have a tough time with that. Damn we use to make Brady and Manning look bad when we played the straight up 4-3 and had Taylor and Wale coming off the edge and Bowens and Gardner destroying the middle. Cameron Heyward was destroying Ark Oine last night. If they would have had to blitz it would have been better for Mallet. Ohio State was dropping everyone in coverage and getting pressure. hard to succeed against that as a QB
 
The guy is a statue in the pocket. He needs to stay in college another year. The guy is a taller version of Henne right now.
 
Man, after watching him last night. I can say that i'm not a fan. Yeah he made some pretty passes but most NCAA QB's do. His decision making is something that makes me very nervous about him. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
 
The only reason not to draft Mallet is offensive philosphy. If you want a running QB, then you have to look elsewhere. Otherwise, it is a no brainer.

I don't watch College Football and I don't know much about Mallett, but watching the game yesterday, I was saying to myself "God, this guy refuses to throw the ball away or move in the pocket." He took way too many unnecessary sacks.
 
I think with the right QB coach and offensive coordinator, Cam Newton or Jake Locker could be pretty good guys. Apart from them, I say that we take a guy like Devlin or Weeden.
