Sleeper QB in Draft?

Campbell threw it 59 yds. Not 72 like McPherson did.

How many 60 or 70 yd throws have you seen in a season...does it really matter...if it's 59, 62 or 70? PLUS...you don't see too many QB's that have the time to throw flat footed...there usually running for their lives.
 
I could careless what they do in the challenges and combines, I want football players, guys that know how to win!!

How did Brady do at the Combines??? People fall in love with that stuff to much. Give me guys that know how to win and are willing to play a team game anyday!

Orton with a strong wind behind him...couldn't throw 60 yds flat footed.
Well then I guess every game I watched live and everything i've read by the analysts is wrong, because many say he has one of if not the strongest arms in the draft.

That's right, so saying McPherson can throw 70 yards while flat footed does nothing for me! Hell I bet Jay could do that!

If Boller was standing it would have went 80 plus, what does that say for McPherson???

If Boller could throw the ball 80 plus yards don't you think he would have done that for the scouts????????????????

Thats the point I was trying to get across... throwing the ball 72 yards standing still will up your draft status..

Farve has a cannon...and it didn't up his status in the draft.

I guess because he's so strong it causes the football to float? Sputter...and him dropping in the draft.

I'm actually pretty sure he might of, the knee thing was just a gimmick he did. It was something that just came to mind after your statement.

Oh i don't know if he's dropping yet, has the draft started?
 
Well some Miami reps were at his work out so will see... either way I hope we pick him up.

Not everyone agree's with your statement....taken from NFL Draft showcase;

"In terms of measureables, Kyle Orton does possess the prototypical size for a Quarterback. He's a tall, decently built and in terms of physical skills, he possess good mobility. He isn't a burner, but he's able to get outside the pocket and he's athletic enough to be effective on the QB draw (something he did quite a bit in Purdue's spread offense). His arm strength is only average. His passing is limited to underneath and intermediate routes. He also has a bit of a slow release, and this is partially due to his throwing motion. Playing in a spread offense, Orton has worked almost exclusively out of the shotgun."

Thats fine mine was taken from watching every game of his and Scouts Inc. and mel kiper, we could all be wrong though. As for the exclusive shotgun thing they are way off.

He did, but in the NFL it's hard to do that on your back! He threw it 60 something yards on his knees. Think about it? What has this done for him? Nothing!

Can McPherson be good? maybe, but give me something more then he throws the ball 72 yards flat footed. Mike Teel (QB for Rutgers) whom I know and have seen threw a ball flat footed 65 yards threw the up rights. And he is a 2nd year player. What does that mean? Nothing that's what!
 
Not only is McPherson more NFL ready than Kyle Orton, he is also more gifted athlete. Like I said earlier, he's the QB I want the most in the draft.
