I saw this last night on the show that came on before John Grudens QB club. I thought it was pretty funny:

Yeah apparently Cam isn't much smarter .. Of course this is just a combine test that these guys really don't care about..

Re: 26-27-60 QB formula
 

Of those 9 QB's you listed, Mallett has the 8th best completion %. I thought that was his calling card, his "amazing" arm. Doesn't matter if he can throw an 80 yard pass if it's in the dirt.

If there was a score for toughness, Locker would be at the top of the list

A piece on Gabbert's great memory and ability to pick up things fast.

Re: 26-27-60 QB formula
 

If McElroy completes 66% in the NFL it will have to be an offense of screens and shovel passes.

Re: 26-27-60 QB formula
 

I like Kaepernick and Dalton. If we don't land a QB in the first round, I'd be happy with either of those two. I watched 4 or 5 Nevada games last year, and Kaepernick is a baller with a rifle.

Yeah i really gained a lot of respect for Locker last night. He really came across as a really tough dude and showed a lot of leadership too. From all his interviews and what not he came across a lot "smarter" and i would have guessed a higher score then some of the other QBs on that list.

Also im really starting to like Tyrod Taylor after last night. Although his "numbers" suck:

??? - 41 -57.4%

If Taylor wasnt 6'1" i feel like he would be a top 5 prospect.

Re: 26-27-60 QB formula
 

I am somewhat smitten with Dalton. I wouldn't shake a stick at Ponder either although I don't know that he is a franchise guy in the long run. More of a Brad Johnson type which is better than we've had since...well...Brad Johnson.

Oh sorry your talking about playing through pain not getting injured.

Tyrod Taylor is a poor man's version of Pat White. He's definitely not as good as White was in college, and he's not a NFL type of QB. Maybe he can follow in the footsteps of Randal El and return punts for a .35/yard average.
