Skylar Thompson predraft Analysis -you'll love it

[where's th'fish]

If your team grabbed Skylar Thompson (it did!) this is a must read analysis by Matt Waldman.

Skylar Thompson has the tools and craft to develop into one of the great anomalies of draft history. He’s a compelling quarterback prospect whose career doesn’t fit the rubric of traditional draft analysis.

Lets see what it looks like in preseason of course but He's a tough SOB who can make plays and manage a team, maybe he can be our long time backup and do something good when he gets his opps.

And I am 100000% ok with the scenario

Interesting stuff.....thanks for sharing!

It would be nice to get a serviceable backup QB in round 7, but realistically he has a long way to climb to make this team. I'd be rooting for him so we could save that $6.5M backup money

He also did a quick video on ZaQuandre White

funny, I read that and still don’t love it

If I can't offload my late picks I'm fine taking a QB in the 6th or 7th any year. The upside is way smaller than the downside and I'm that range you aren't getting starters anywhere regardless. Special teams if you're lucky you might get a late round guy on the unit.

Time for you YOU too face the truth! Grier balances his R7 brilliance with R1 stupitity!

If this guy is as smart and as tough as the analyst suggests, we could have a gem here.

I liked what he said about Thompson being downgraded for production reasons because I've always believed most touts just follow the stats, rather than doing the real film work.

...and Hell... Kansas State... it's not like they usually win much... except with Thompson, they did beat some good teams in high-scoring matchups.

If we were to get a Garrapolo type, and hold him for a few years, I'll be stoked.

There is some meat on the bone with this guy. Will be interesting to see I’d he can develop into an NFL backup.

 

[NoblePhin]

I like this guy. We've always said we should be taking a QB every year just in case we strike gold, so why not? I like his pocket awareness, ability to improv, running ability, and deep ball.

Nice link. Good read. Hope he can stick on practice squad if we don't carry three QBs.

 

[WSE]

The hope with him is he can be a backup in a year and we let Teddy leave.

Which yea, if that happens and we have a cheap backup QB on the roster that we trust- all for it.
