Rivalry Esq Eval of Clark

by PaternosGranddaughter on May 31, 2009 2:58 PM EDT Comment 28 comments

Here's a quick article from the Rivalry Esq evaluating Daryll Clark as a QB. I thought it was a pretty solid evaluation of Clark. They're planning to do this for all the Big Ten QBs- they've only done Clark and the IU QB so far. The site is run by a guy from OSU and a guy from UM (terrible, I know!) so I'm inetersted to see what the say about Pryor. Enjoy and post your thoughts about their eval here!

cool

I often wonder how NFL scouts will view him. I have no idea if he’s someone who has a shot to play QB at the next level, but a lot of times the NFL scouts are pretty clueless too. That’s why Brady Quinn and Matt Lienhart are getting paid insane money to hold a clipboard.

Well, they should at least realize

He has the drive of an Abrams Tank. Not that he isn’t talented, because he is. His passion is great though, he isn’t a guy you would have to worry about slacking off. At least a decent backup in my book, at least.

Get him a decent pro QB coach, he’ll do fine. He has the tools, and he doesn’t seem to have Morelli’s mental issues.

Yep

Agreed, he has the composure and confidence. It seems to me that he’s willing to learn and improve.

I'm going to guess...

That would explain some things

Especially if the cannibals gave him something to eat, he might have kuru.

deep thoughts, from QB14

Is that Williams? I think he’s triple-covered. You know what? Fuck it. I’m throwing it downfield.

Yeah, I see Norwood open on the flank. But fuck that. Dumpoff passes are for faggots. I’m fucking Sexy Anthony Morelli. I can get that ball in there. And, even if I can’t, I bet I’ll be able to pull it off the next go round. I like throwing the ball long. It makes my dick hard.

What’s that? I should throw a quick slant? Fuck that. That’s gay. Button hook? Gay. Flare out? Gay. Screen pass? Kevin Spacey gay. This is fucking football. You can’t just expect wins to come to you. You can’t massage that shit. You gotta grab that game by the throat and rape the ever-loving shit out of it. You think a 5-yard out is gonna win you a game? You’re a pussy. This ain’t John Shoop running this offense. Sexy Morelli’s got the arm. The dragon. You gotta unleash the dragon.

Okay, I’m throwing it. Nice. Look how far it went. I look good. I bet I made that Ohio State cheerleader wet her panties with that throw. She fucking wants me. I bet she likes it over a stair railing. I can hit that with 100% accuracy, my dear. Mmmmmm. I am delicious.

Oh shit. Looks like Jenkins caught it. Again. Oh well. It still felt fucking great to throw that shit. Tell me that wasn’t one of the prettiest passes you ever saw. You know what? Not only am I gonna throw it long the next time we hit the field. I’m gonna throw it even longer. Harder. You see that kid in wheelchair sitting in the end zone bleachers? I’m gonna nail him right between the fucking eyes with a Sexy Morelli fastball. Why? Because I can.

This is Anthony Morelli we’re talking about here. We’re talking 210 lbs. of twisted steel and sex appeal. I’m not just a gunslinger. I’m a cumslinger. Throwing that ball long tells all the fans that I am fucking out there. On the edge. Where I gotta be. The ladies love the danger. The unpredictability. Oh, maybe I’ll tease them with a pretty touch pass every now and again. But then I’m gonna go right back to pumping that ball out for all it’s worth. It tells them I throw like I fuck. That’s how we do things in the sexy business.

Tell me you’re not turned on right now. I am.

I'd give you a +1, but you stole it

but this might be the first time I’ve laughed reading about QB14

I'm not a gunslinger

I’m a cumslinger.

Priceless. Wonder who’s got the stones to throw that into their sig?

ewwww

not the post, but the mental “sexy” pictures of #14 it puts in my head. He is so not hot

But you're forgetting

he’s going to be going up against Tebow, Bradford and McCoy. He’ll be lucky if any other QBs are taken in next years draft with all that talent he’s up against. Those three are just that good.

by dawsonPSU10 on May 31, 2009 11:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Tebow = BUST

I’m just hoping Bradford ends up like Harrell; with the scouts wondering why he can’t take a snap that’s not out of the shotgun.

But I can't wait for them to all be drafted in the first round anyway

and then turn out to be flops. Especially the Big 12 QBs, who will be scared shitless when they actually play a descent defense and suddenly can’t throw for 500 yds/game and score 60 points. I’m hoping the karma gods will finally balance out the endless hype they’ve all been getting.

by dawsonPSU10 on Jun 1, 2009 1:21 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don’t think Tebow will be drafted highly enough to be considered a bust, but I agree in the sense that I don’t think he is an NFL QB.

I don’t have much of an opinion on Bradford, but as for taking a snap – a decent portion of their offense this year (as well as the majority of his snaps his freshman year) came from under-center in the ace formation.

Tebow's Gonna be a TE

Either that or go on a 10 year mission and then end up the CFL

Or

I would take Bradford on my NFL team any day

He throws the prettiest passes I have ever seen from a college football QB.

He is going to be a great NFL QB.

That is until the Raiders draft him and he spends his first 3 years on his back, gets depressed and quits football.

You know who else threw pretty passes in college?

Yeah, that’s right.

Enjoyable Thread :)

I’m enjoying the banter- Thanks guys. And the QB14 slams. Love it. I think Clark being underrated is probably a good thing. I think the best NFL QBs, save a few, were a bit underrated before the pros. And I think if he has a strong senior season, he’ll be all set. Ball State’s Nate Davis was drafted and, although he had an awesome season (Go Cards!) his last couple games were a MESS- picks and fumbles everywhere!! I think it’s safe to say that Clark will be looking good come August- Yeah, I drink my kool-aid early.
