Coach sees progress, bright future in Mallett

Now there's one coach with rose-colored glasses. He fell for a variety of issues but he was a good pick where he went.

Isn't that always the case though? Oops, I do recall Pete Carroll saying that Sanchez wasn't NFL ready.

It's an ideal situation for a young quarterback. No pressure to perform, and great coaching to help him develop.

One or two guys a year are NFL-ready, and even they would do better with a year or two to learn the ropes.

And then, there's Blaine Gabbert.

Is Paul Petrino STILL with Arkansas? I thought he'd follow his daddy.

Hey DD, you're right about that. Not a bad spot to learn. I think he's appreciating the opportunity to develop behind someone like Brady as opposed to getting thrown into the fire. Everyone these days is looking for the kid to start right away and potentially hurting their development rather than the idea of developing them.

There aren't enough quarterbacks to go around.

Kid might have been able to succeed... but we will never know.

If he works Hard and listens to his coaches he probably will succed, they got a Gretchen System!

I don't know about a Gretchen system; maybe a Giselle one though.

An actual picture of the guy the thread is about! Wow.

All the kid has to to do is hang on for 4-5 more years and the job is his.

This kid will be solid trade bait for QB needy teams in the near future... coming into last years draft he was the one QB NFL ready to start for any team according to scouts....It's a shame his character issues forced him so far down the board costing him some $$$

He'll end up better than JaWalrus Russell. He may already have a higher net worth.

He can fit into his uniform. That's already more value than Russell.

Well, let's say the job may be his to lose in a few years, or sooner if Tom gets hurt again.
If the kid has good advisors they will tell him to understudy the best QB in the NFL for a couple of more years and then be ready for a big contract, and/or being traded as Cassel was to Kansas City, with a big payday.
Bill B. won't let him go if he sees the potential to be Tom's successor.
