Day 1 starter may be a little much but I don't doubt he could be a starter.

Yes, there are a few but that's just because they are teams that don't have a soccer specific stadium yet. But players hate playing on turf and they simply don't do that in Europe or other places in the world. I just don't see players wanting to play soccer in MN in -20 temps and snow on a...

There are several leagues world wide that have as much or more money and are as high or higher level than the MLS. The MLS wants to compete for players in the higher leagues. Playing in MN or any northern state in the winter would be a huge negative for many players. And no, they would not play...

Well this increases his chances of being drafted vs UDFA so that's cool. 15 QBs were invited. about 10-12 get drafted each year.

Yes, but the European schedule goes from August through May. That means if they changed it to be like Europe like they're saying you would have to play games outside in MN in Dec, Jan, Feb, and March. Currently, the preseason starts in Feb and they are us usually in California the entire...

That's awesome and increases his draft potential. About 70% of the players at the combine get drafted. He's one of the guys that's hard to pin down where he will go in the draft. He has the hands, route running, production , and size to be a mid rounder but a may not test out as being fast...

Nothing to do with being wrong. If they don't do it on the field it doesn't matter if they do it in throwing drills. The data can be right, but also if the player doesn't actually perform that way in games then the data doesn't matter.

I thought someone earlier in the thread said there is a new OL coach, maybe I misread it. Like I said, that talent is there but a lot of players will be playing together for the first time on the OL this year. Might take a while to gel as a unit. Hopefully not too long.

I think there is enough talent there to be solid but my concern will be how cohesive the unit will be with all the new players and new OL coach. Might be a work in progress as the season goes more so than usual.

I guarantee you nobody is looking at these metrics and thinking "well geez, I guess what I'm actually seeing on film is wrong".

This is a throwing session, not in a real game situation. It does not matter what he can do standing in there with no threat of pressure, throwing to players not being covered, when timing doesn't mean as much. Sometimes what you see on the field doesn't lineup with metrics and this is one of...

I'm sure most of these guys go into the NFL wanting to work their way up to to being a starter but I think many also lose that train of thought by their 4th season if it hasn't happened and sort of settle into the "in case of emergency" sideline coach sort of QB. I would 100% expect Max to go at...

Yeah, make millions to basically be another coach and break the glass sort of guy is not a bad gig. Then you can go into coaching if you want.

I think a quick release is important in the NFL but does not make up for the fact that he lacks zip on the ball. Quick release only helps with timing passes and avoiding sacks, it doesn't help you throw harder. There's no doubt he's the type of QB that can throw with a quick release on well...

I'm a big soccer fan but I do not see the schedule being changed to move soccer to fall through spring. A large number of games would be unplayable due to weather in northern locations. MLS would have more difficulty getting foreign players to come and play in MN in the dead of winter. Then...

I didn't mean that he was a mobile QB just that I think he can move around in the pocket enough. He's certainly not a good athlete for the position. He's definitely more of a traditional pocket passer.

In case you wanted to know the others ahead: Fluff Bothwell, South Alabama Ahmad Hardy, LA Monroe Leonard Moore, ND So he was actually the 4th highest among the true freshman, not 3rd but South Alabama and LA Monroe not on the same level as ND and Big Ten.

He may be the type of player that comes out of college and impresses so well with his grasp of the system so quickly and picking things up fast he might find his way on a roster as a rookie. I mean, if you're keeping 3 and you want a guy there that could pick things up fast and get out there...

I think this is a fair assessment of Max. The good: #1-Very football smart kid. #2- Good leader #3- Good decision maker #4- Good accuracy overall #5- Can be mobile enough #6- Throws with anticipation The weaknesses: #1- For NFL purposes the biggest thing is the arm. He just doesn't have the...

I'm happy to see players believe this too. It's too bad most programs in College these days seem way mor concerned about how much money they're making than if they're helping produce good young men to go out into society. Most of these young guys won't make a living off of football so if they...
