He has had multiple arrests for a variety of misdemeanors. He ran out on the field to jump into a fight at a high school football game during his bye week. The 22 year old College senior had to be restrained from hitting 16 and 17 year old high school kids. He also walked out on his teammates last year and left the stadium whining like a baby when they were losing. He didn't even stick around to shake hands with the winners. Wasn't he kicked out of Clemson due to character issues ??

How would that translate to the NFL where you have to be a leader of grown MEN inside a huddle and locker room?

As for his play on the field, he is a pick 6 waiting to happen & possibly game changing INT in 4th quarter of a game.

I don't think Chad is on Sean Payton's radar.

Yeah Kelly has some issues. That guy has pissed away his professional career before it even started. Character issues is putting it nicely.

There's just no QB worth wasting an upper round pick on this year.

Re: Arm strength - Deshaun Watson is woefully bad

Balls that are thrown too hard usually have too much spin on the throw...
This results in more dropped passes, over thrown passes and a general lack of thinking by the QB.

In other words... your QB still sucks. 60% of passes require the correct touch.

It's kind of like a FG from the 10 yard line being kicked as hard as from the 50.
You kick it as hard as you need to best get it over the goal post.

Re: Arm strength - Deshaun Watson is woefully bad

Yeah I doubt Drew has a whole lot of velocity. But he can thread the needle and he has perfect touch.

Re: Arm strength - Deshaun Watson is woefully bad

Why are we even caring about someone who has no chance to be drafted by the saints?

Everyone is bored. I'm so bored I'm about to talk about my wife's cat having kittens.

Re: Arm strength - Deshaun Watson is woefully bad

I will be absolutly amazed if a QB goes in the top ten. But they have amazed me before.

I pray they are all on the board at 11. The phone will be ringing and the Browns might just be willing to hugely overpay to get the #1 QB board with a swap from 12 to 11 to keep others away. Cle vs Ari vs Hou.

swap 11 for 12
swap 42 for 33
pick 108

I still think Trubisky is the one to take the risk on. Especially if he's sitting for 2-3 years.

More like 6 or 7 years. Brees repeated on NFL Radio a couple of days ago that he expects to be able to continue playing until the age of 45. Brady has said the same. I believe both of them. Any QB we pick up anytime soon will be a backup only. At least for the Saints.

He also re-injured his wrist just 15 throws into his pro day.
