Speedy QB’s don’t make the superbowl, Jones will do great!

Schemes and styles mean a lot–of the three, Lane has the greatest upside potential as his body matures. Kenny will have to show the ability to create space and then separation. Landry Jones will be challenged by the speed of the game at the next level, the same will limit his ability to stay around the league.

LJ to Denver not a bad gig. Both the same type of QBs. LJ might develop more under Manning than he did from his sophomore – senior seasons. Wherever he goes pray he has a great O – line that can pass protect or it could get embarrassing …Chrissy Sims style.

People surprised by Stills’ speed haven’t been paying attention. He’s been high 4.3s/low 4.4s since the day he stepped on campus.

Landry…experts are right..Landry is slow but has a good arm. They are also right that what the Teams will look at are his tapes. Landry does not play well when under a pass rush. That will knock him out most of all. “Happy Feet” do not make coaches happy.

Stills…wow..nice runs. The biggest negative is that he at times has dropsy’s. Hope he got a decent haircut for his interviews…last thing the Coachss want is a problem child off field.

Lane…phenomenol speed. He may be a little inexperienced at this relatively new position for him but he is a smart guy that has tons of potential. I would place him high on my list. Why he was never raved about at OU I do not know. OU was hurting on the Oline this year and he was a great stabalizing force that will be missed this new season.

Ben-Sam competed against flat footed pocket passer’s when stats and team wins was all that mattered. OU set a seasonal scoring avg. per game record the season he won, and it helped. T-Bow was still the best QB that season, and the season before, when he won it. Remember he beat OU in the BCS game with the “jump pass”, something Sam’s foot speed and talent would be hard pressed to do.

The best thing that could happen to Landry Jones is he gets taken in the second round by Denver. If you want to be a great QB in the NFL play behind Peyton Manning for two to three years.

Grant. I like Sam’s arm as it is, laser quick and pinpoint accurate. That said, how many deep balls have you watched him throw, they hang up there for a minute or two. They don’t hang up there for ever, but it’s definitely a step behind the good to elite level NFL talent. Still, give me Sam as my QB every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Like I said, the arm is good just not great.

It doesn’t matter how elusive some of these dual-threat QBs are — they have to be able to throw from the pocket, first and foremost.

You don’t have to be fast to take snaps from behind center, or correctly execute a 3,5, or 7 step drop. That’s probably the funniest thing I think I’ve ever read on here. Several of the best QBs in the league are guys who don’t burn defenses with their legs.

Sam Bradford has a very good arm. I’m not sure what criteria Benjamin uses to assess NFL QBs, but Bradford’s arm is very strong — just ask the guy who signed his rookie contract.
