    At what point did you watch Keith Price throw a ball and go "wow, he's got a NFL arm?"

    At what point did you watch Keith Price anticipate a WR coming open on a crossing route and throwing to a spot before the WR came open?

    Did you ever consider that perhaps the reason Sark fell so in love with the WR screen game was because that took advantage of what Price did well (throw an accurate ball) and eliminate the need for him to do the things he doesn't do well?

    I usually don't give a shit about "NFL arm" when I watch college games.

    My guess is that Price's arm is comparable to Russell Wilson's arm.

    Jack Lockner has an "NFL arm" and he has no business being a starting QB in the NFL.

    Accuracy >>>>> arm strength

    I can't believe some of you actually think Price is an NFL QB. Price is as overrated by some of you here as Locker was on doogman. He's a decent college QB.

    I agree about accuracy >>> arm strength, but Russell Wilson has a way stronger arm than Price and throws a great deep ball.

    I think he's a backup, not a starter.

    I'd take him over at least half the guys identified in this article:

    KP was good as a sophomore, but his play regressed consistently from there.
    He is not an NFL QB. He never could be competitive throughout an entire 12 game NCAA season, why would he all of the sudden bring his A game to 16 regular game?

    When a player regresses , or stagnates it is usually a function of coaching. His lack of durability and measureables are a large part of the reason he is not at the combine ..

    I think Price could be a decent backup for a few years, but his arm strength doesn't compare to Wilson's.

    My concern is that Price was constantly hurt at UW. He doesn't have the elusiveness or strength that Wilson does to survive as a smaller QB. He's going to get knocked out early.

    LOL part of that link:

    "Ugliness

    29. Derek Anderson, Carolina Panthers
    30. Charlie Whitehurst, San Diego Chargers
    31. Graham Harrell, Green Bay Packers
    Anderson's 2007 Pro Bowl campaign was mere illusion. He has worked himself out of two starting jobs and looms as one of the league's shakiest reserves. Whitehurst has floated from San Diego to Seattle, and back again. Nice for a Hobbit, not so much for Charlie. Harrell was an epic train wreck last preseason. If he sees the field, it only will mean sadness in Green Bay."

    He will get to a training camp either as a really low draft pick or FA. I see him in an arena playing half length fball or in a cold, northern locale like Montréal or Edmonton within a couple years...or doing something else.

    QB's that are Price's size have a hard enough time making it in the league. A guy his size, with limited mobility, and terrible pocket presence and feel (certainly could improve with coaching, but I think part of it is natural) have even less of a chance. If he ran a 4.5 it would be different, but he doesn't. Almost every time he gets touched he goes down.

    Price will get a chance at a camp, but the smart money is on him never making an NFL roster. You never know though. If Matt McGloin and Jeff Tuel can make teams, then Price could in the right situation. He's pretty far down the totem pole for rookie QB's though. Next year, there will be a whole new batch. It won't be easy.
  • NFL personnel experts picked Gabbert, Ponder, and Lockner in the top 10 overall.

    They're morons.

    Price could be a solid backup in the NFL. I'd rather have him on my roster than the three guys listed above.

    Locker was a Top 10 rated passer and the Titans were on a roll before Fitzpatrick took over to save Mike Munchak's job.
    He had an 86.7 QB rating last year, propped up by a fantastic game against the Jets:
    http://www.nfl.com/player/jakelocker/2495194/gamelogs

    He's not durable enough to last in the NFL, which isn't a surprise to people who have the NFL dialed in.
    But Locker is a top 32 QB!!!!!!! Things IrishFS people say.

    Says the guy who constantly pumps up Wilcox as being a great DC and in every podcast still say Wilcox saved Sark's job in 2012 even though he went 7-6(5-4) just like in 2011 and 2010.

    If Holt was DC in 2012, we would have been 5-7 instead of 7-6. Maybe even worse than 5-7. Jumping 70 spots in total defense is a big jump. That's a fact. To say otherwise is FS. You're the one who called him a top 10 DC after the Stanford game. I think Wilcox is a good coach, big fucking deal. You can cherry pick games in which he sucked, and calling him great at this point is a stretch, but he's good.

    And the worst QBs' I've seen in a decade, maybe 2 at an NFL draft. It's awful. What's that say about Price? OOOOOOOH, but I was a racist for telling you ignant fellas that Price was a flag football QB. Well, Sugar was right as usual. Fucking doogman chargees. Kim doesn't protect your little hair - growing giner's here. Go back for "higher discussion" ! This is reality here bitches.

    It says that the NFL sucks at evaluating quarterbacks just like it has forever.

    Drafting purely for arm strength has proven to be one of the surest ways to waste an early pick and millions of dollars on a terrible QB.

    I can throw a football pretty hard. I bet I could turn some of these NFL evaluators heads.

    I loved price as our qb and thought he was pretty good in college he can scramble ok and has great accuracy. However, he has the least durable knees ever and horrible pocket presence. Not worth a draft pick. He will get invited to a camp though. Teams only carry 2 qbs now. You have to be able to stay on the field to be on the roster.

    Nice math. Did you go to CollegeDoog's school of math?

    He finished #19, essentially tied with Tom Brady and Andrew Luck. Pre injury he was in the Top 10.

    Looks like we have found CollegeDoog's replacement.
