What a differnce a year makes. The background talk in 2011 was that the players didn't like or respect Ryan & that was largely responsible for our weak finish & missing out on a bowl &:blah: :blah: :blah: Oh LordBill Polian said he is the only guy who is a leader who galvanizes the team and they believe in him to lead them to comebacks. (Paraphrasing,) Also said he din't have to meet him to know that, he saw it in tape.
I'm rooting for Nassib. I thought he (eventually) developed into a great college QB and hope he is picked in the first round on Thursday because that means rickshaw time.
But I'm skeptical of Nassib as an NFL franchise QB. There's really nothing Warner says that is wrong. And Polian's comments about him are kinda weird as I don't think Ryan is vocal enough to be a truly great leader at the next level. He did a great job in that leadership role as a senior but it was a big weakness before then.
Jamarcus Russell had the wow factor at LSU, Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez had the wow factor at USC, Kyle Boller had the wow factor at Cal(I still remember the NFL draft clip of him throwing a ball 50 yds from his knees), Blaine Gabbert had the wow factor at Mizzou. Andy Dalton didn't have much wow factor at TCU all he did was win. Again, Warner is entitled to his own opinions, but I hate when its judged by the wow factor and the fact Nassib didn't have elite talent surrounding him like most of the WOW factor guys do.
Warner said he wouldn't take a QB in the first round who didn't completely wow him, basically, right?
Oh man, what a jerk! How dare he suggest that Ryan Nassib, a guy few people thought would be a 5th or 6th round pick, if picked at all, doesn't wow him!
He's not saying Ryan is a bad quarterback. He's just saying he doesn't really jump out at him as being an elite prospect, more or less. Hell, even in September and October there were people here saying the same damn thing.
The things we get upset about...damn.
