April 29, 201115 yr I'm fine with Dalton. I'll bet anything Mallett will be better than him but I'm fine with the pick. Marvin and Gruden got who they wanted. No excuses if it doesn't work For how long? Until he does something stupid? Why add an extra headache to a team that is infamous for adding plenty of them. It clearly hasn't worked out in the past.

April 29, 201115 yr Yes. Dalton won't be any good either. I don't want another Pennington. I want hthe big arm that doesn't scramble that well. I want the guy that didn't play in the Mountain West and who isn't short Dalton doesn't have the arm Mallett does but it's definitely stronger than Pennington. I will take accuracy over strength all day. Dalton is +1000 in the intangibles category compared to Mallett.
April 29, 201115 yr I hope the Bengals get Cobb in the third round. They drafted Shipley last year. I doubt they will draft Cobb to basically play the same position..
April 29, 201115 yr They drafted Shipley last year. I doubt they will draft Cobb to basically play the same position.. True I hope they get a DT then or Safety.
April 29, 201115 yr They drafted Shipley last year. I doubt they will draft Cobb to basically play the same position.. Yeah that isn't happening.
April 29, 201115 yr Green is going to be wearing jersey number 18. Hopefully Dalton gets to wear number 14.
April 30, 201115 yr Love the Dalton pick for Cincy. Best QB they could have gotten. He's a smart guy, good off the field. May not be the most talented guy in the draft, but he could become an effective QB if given proper coaching.

Dalton is +1000 in the intangibles category compared to Mallett. I'm not a big inatngibles guy when a weakness is arm strength and height. Especially when it's a QB that throws a little side armed. I'll take the guy that was recruited by Michigan and transferred to an SEC school and put up numbers rather than the guy that beat up on MWC schools. They're putting a ton of trust in Jay Gruden and his system. How many times has he ever scouted for an NFL draft? How do we know he can evaluate NFL talent at a high level with minimum help from scouts? I'm not toally against the pick or taking Green. I just don't think it's all going to work out because the Bengals and Jay Gruden got what he wanted.

I just don't think it's all going to work out because the Bengals and Jay Gruden got what he wanted. But Petrino's offense really hasn't ever developed a good NFL QB. Brohm was all world in high school and college and has done little so far in the NFL. Neither pick would have been a homerun, Cincy went with the guy with fewer issues. Adding Mallett to Cincy would have been toxic. It would have been the 3rd atomic bomb. NKY would be laid to waste. Corpses would rise from the grave and start eating flesh. Chad and TO would seem like model citizens. Pacman would go back to committing crime. Is Dalton's arm really that bad? As for Jay Gruden, you may have a point. But little Gruden does know about passing the football and does know offense. Might not work out with Dalton or with his offense in general, but it could.

Mallett had 1 public intoxication in college. Cam Newton has way and I mean way more personal issues than Mallett and he went number 1 overall. I just don't think you take a QB 35th overall unless he can be elite. We're saying he can't be elite, but he's a good guy that fits the West coast system of a guy coming from the UFL. I'm not saying it can't work. I'm saying they didn't win the draft. TCU's offense is gimicky and I'd guess they don't have a bunch of QB's leading franchises.

Every team in the league was scared of Mallet's personality. Without that there is no way he's not a top 15 pick I don't think. I wouldn't want either because I think NFL teams need an Elite QB nowadays, but if forced to choose I'd take Dalton. Dalton seems just as good as any QB in this draft to me. But personally I wouldn't have taken any of them. Next years class will be better.
