2012 NFL Draft Prospects

[Landry44]

I'm sure we won't draft high enough to get Luck, Barkley, or Landry Jones. The next best option for us at qb is Nick Foles. He's been spectacular so for this season. He has two 400 yd games and three 300 yard games. He's completing 70% of his passes against pretty stout competition. I think he has great size, great arm, great accuracy, decent mobility, and he's smart. I like this kid and I think he's going to be a great NFL qb. I know everyone is in love with Andrew Luck but this guy is a franchise qb.

Oh I absolutely agree with you. Nick Foles reminds me of a lot of QBs. After watching that USC game, throughout the game I thought I was watching different NFL QB's play. I saw shades of Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Big Ben, and even Tom Brady. That last play of the highlight real reminded me of Brady how he stood still in the pocket danced a little, looked, looked, then fired a quick dart over the middle.

says the guy with the breenan screen name. 50% of 1st rounders never amount to anything, and later rounds are even worse... so if it were me, i'd avoid using so many hyperbolic comparisons. colt looked like peytonin college right? hill of beans.

It's not like I can change this screen name...

Why is no one here talking about Tannehill? I haven't seen much of him but he is putting up some nice numbers.

Nick Foles is stud at qb. I hope he remains under the radar for most fans and teams. Whoever does their homework and really look at what this guy brings to the table will be impressed with his skill set. You make a lot of great points about the USC games. He made great decisions in that game under a lot of pressure. This guy is forreal.

I will agree that there is a lot to like about Foles. But I disagree about the arm part. IMO the guy does not have such a strong arm, so he throws a lot of rainbows which may connect in college but won't in the NFL. In the NFL he will need to throw more ropes rather than rainbows.

You know what I actually agree with. He doesn't have a rocket like McNabb or Ryan Mallet. However, he does have a good arm. He can make all of the throws.
