Especially at the QB position

But don't worry MO, the fact that I like him means we won't draft him.

Don’t worry. I’ll call you an idiot for many other reasons, anyway.

I also like Josh Allen's story. I like the farm boy thing and it seems like he comes from a great family. I wish he was more accurate though. So sick of watching passes from Broncos QBs go whoknowswhere.

Dude, you gotta hashtag that crap. That’s too good to let go by.

Did you guys know that Baker Mayfield was the first true freshman walk-on to start a season opener for a BCS school? That's a crazy fact IMHO.

Is he also the first Heisman winner to grab his crotch on national TV?

I doubt it.

My prob with Baker so far:

His offense is designed to have guys wide open
He does not have a lot of thread the needle, throw the guy open type of throws
Him reading defenses

Reading the defense, throwing w anticipation, and accuracy are the main things I like for. I am unsure about 2 of those with him. He may be able to do those I need to see more. What did you see there Chazzy?

He looks extremely accutrate to me, and the numbers back that up in spades. Yes a lot of wide open recievers but he almost always hits them in stride so they maximize their yards gained. In four years of Div 1 football in big boy conferences he's never had double digit INTs. His TD:INT ratio is ******* amazing.
Looking at him as a freshman and him now he has done some serious work in the weight room, which is important for a guy his size and it shows some level of dedication.
Lastly, his teammates seem to absolutely love him. Yes he's had some not so great moments from a maturtity standpoint but they seem to come from a place of intense competitiveness, and I'm fine with that.

Kris, you know I love you dude, and I want to believe you. But I can’t let go of the Robert Griffin crush you had. Perhaps it’s time for a full confession and penitence. Then I may forget that unthinkable transgression.

A lot of folks had RG3 crushes.

I’m just giving you the business dude. He wouldn’t have gone so high if there wasn’t a lot of hype.

good point! we should totally draft a guy who played in an offense that isn't designed to get receivers open. . .

seriously, i'm not saying you're wrong-- but those criticisms are accurate for most college QBs, including top picks like bradford and mariota. . . a truly polished, ready-made guy like luck comes along once in a generation. . . there isn't one QB in this draft who's anywhere close to that level of development. . . virtually all of them have to be trained to read defenses and go through progressions at a pro level. . .

I do not care about maturity (lol obviously, look at me) or his size or his arm. I just want him to be able to decipher the defense, be accurate (which he seems to be) and be able to anticipate and throw in tight coverage. I do like his never quit attitude though. Kelly has that too. I like it. I think thats why I like Kelly, hes a competitor also.
