Aaron Murray who was a 5th round pick out of Georgia, started four years in a row and passed for well over 3000 yards every season he played including his FR and SOPH years. He is no longer in the NFL and clearly never did much when he was in the league. So that is what concerns me with Fromm. How in the world do you come to this conclusion? Murray and Fromm had 2 different HC's and different OC's on top of that. Different philosophies and schemes. Fromm hasn't been asked to throw much due to the Georgia run game (4 different 1000 yard rushers in his 2 seasons). I can understand having concerns about Fromm, but worrying about him because of Aaron Murray is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fromm is going to be a good NFL QB and is probably the #1 or #2 QB in next year's draft. But he's not physically talented at all. That's the only criticism I have about him right now. To critique him for throwing for less yards than Aaron Murray is not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 There is a lot of talk with Haskins and his high completion percentage in college, and it is very impressive especially this past season but to put it in context from 2018-2008 there has been many QBs with a high completion percentage in the 69-74% range. And obviously they are not all super stars in the NFL, and is clearly system dependent in a lot of the cases. Also Ryan Day coached QB with Chip Kelly in the NFL and clearly took some of his ideas and offensive concepts, and yeah Marcus Mariota had a 68% competition percentage in college when he was with Chip Kelly and that continued after Chip left with a very similar system. With Mariota that accuracy has not exactly translated perfectly to the NFL. Completion percentage: Jack Abraham 73 Gardner Minshew 70 Brent Stockstill 70 Dwayne Haskins 70 Tua Tagovailoa 69 Kyler Murray 69 Baker Mayfield 71 Luke Falk 70 Zach Terrell 69 Brandon Doughty 71 Grant Hedrick 70 Teddy Bridgewater 71 Taylor Heinicke 71 Johnny Manzeil 69 David Fales 72 Geno Smith 71 Kellen Moore 74 Russell Wilson 72 Robert Griffin III 72 Brandon Weeden 72 Andrew Luck 71 Nick Foles 69 Case Keenum 71 Matt Barkley 69 Dan Persa 73 Greg McElroy 72 Scott Tolzien 70 Colt McCoy 70 Dan LeFevour 69 Chase Daniel 72 Graham Harrell 70 Of course there are some great QBs on this list but there are also some not so great ones as well. Will be interesting to see how Haskins accuracy in a different system translates. Also could argue that he had the most deepest WR core out of any QB on this list. Tua might be an argument, he has a ton of help as well and benefits a lot from it, but they do not have the depth Ohio State had this past season I feel. That is why it was hard to get a feel for Mason Rudolph outside that system last year because he had some much talent to throw to much less being in the Big 12. He had Washington, Ateman, McClesky, Johnson, Lacy and Stoner, and even with that group I would say it is not deep as Ohio State had this past season. 8 hours ago, BowlesDawgDX said: How in the world do you come to this conclusion?

I can understand having concerns about Fromm, but worrying about him because of Aaron Murray is absurd. Ever think I compare him to Aaron Murray because that is what his arm reminds me of? It is nothing special, he does not have great velocity but is a good game manager and benefits greatly from a Alabama style running attack that uses multiple high level RBs and rotates them, not to mention he had many weapons to throw to as well. Will be interesting how Fromm does next year with out as many weapons because 4 out of his top 5 leading receivers will be gone. They do have Cager coming in and some talent so might not be a huge issue. They do not ask Fromm to do much because if they did they would not win as many games, that is not exactly a good thing. He benefits greatly from playing with a fine defense and a great run game. I do like his composure in the pocket, is a fine game manager and does a lot of things well, but to think of him as some super elite, high 1st round pick, John Elway type QB, no freaking way. Oh and Aaron Murray played with Todd Gurley, Keith Marshall, Malcolm Mitchell, Chris Conley, Tavarres King and others so yeah he was surrounded by talent as well, yet still put up numbers Fromm has yet to accomplish. That is all the offensive coordinators fault? I do not think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past year his arm was surprisingly accurate compared to what he looked like as a freshman at Texas A&M. And he is clearly a pretty great athlete and is crazy nimble in the open field. I would say Lamar Jackson last year is probably a little faster than Kyler but Kyler is clearly quicker side to side and throws a better looking ball and has better touch than Lamar did.

He's got a great arm, though - both from the pocket and throwing off different platforms on the move. Plenty of velocity, and he's also very accurate. Definitely not a concern I've heard before. I mean, the guy could have been a professional baseball player, and we're worried about his arm? Not sure if we're talking about the same Kyler Murray.

That is all the offensive coordinators fault? I do not think so. You try to lump him in and basically say its the system that is the cause of the success but if that were the case, JT Barrett would have been wildly successful in this offense as well, he wasn't. Also if you actually watched film, you would see the difficulty of throw he makes in that offense, which varies to short to deep which sets him apart. Also I notice that you didn't mention his completion % vs pressure that you so adamantly said he struggled at? Or how clutch even more clutch he was on 3rd down. And Alabama's WRs are twice the group of OSU's, that's common knowledge. If you don't like the guy, just say it, but to try to just lazily throw him amongst a group of failed system QBs and make it seem as if he doesn't have the arm talent to set him apart is not right. Just make sure you keep that stance when he is successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboRocket Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 If I had to pick someone who would bust... DK Metcalf? Love the size-speed combo - he just hasn't put it all together for a full season. I'd love to look like an idiot for saying this, though, because he's just so gifted. But if we're picking someone with high bust potential, it's him. He has struggled to stay on the field and also there have been times when it looked like his chemistry with Ta'Amu are off. People are talking about him being the #1 receiver this year, and I don't know if I would slot him there. He's talented, but the hype is unreal sometimes. Just worried he's more Donte Moncrief than Calvin Johnson. As far as the QB discussion goes, I like both Haskins and Murray. Legit, my only problem with Murray is that you'll need to tailor-make your offense for him to account for the height. He looks thick enough - stockier than Cousins or Goff.

MWil23 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Greedy Williams to me could be the next Justin Gilbert. He's a freak athlete but in all honesty leaves a lot to be desired in terms of polish from a cover corner. He's a definite boom or bust guy for me.

Reginaldm9 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I know both of these guys' stock is slipping, but Jeffery Simmons and Greg Little are both built like dinosaurs. On screen they look like NFL Street versions of characters in a game of Madden. I can see injuries (already started with Simmons) and quickness being a giant problem for both of these guys.

Also he floats the ball a bit and has to throw it on an ark be ause he is 5'9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
