Bray is made of glass, but otherwise he might be the most talented passer in college right now.

 

Out of curiosity, why do you think he's made of glass? He's clearly pretty skinny, but I don't know that there's enough evidence to say he's that fragile yet. He was fine at the end of the 2010 season and then injured himself when his throwing thumb connected with a UGA player's helmet. He was hurt there, but returned a little sooner than expected and looked ok (health-wise) when he returned.

 

If he gets hurt much at all this year, I could understand that tag, but it seems premature right now. I do agree that he's an extremely talented pure passer. He makes every throw and seems to do it with ease.

Sometimes I just use word poorly...He is skinny but beyond that he's my favorite college passer. Really needs to gain some weight though, preferably muscle.

 

Ok, makes more sense now. If you think he's skinny now, you should have seen him when he came in as a freshman. People were legitimately worried to play him because they were afraid of him getting hit. He's really added some weight and hopefully will put on some more. His fragile looks will hurt him this time next year if he declares and hasn't added weight/muscle.

 

That's part of why I kind of like Murray more - even though he's shorter, he's much more thick and could more easily take the beating of an NFL season. When it comes to just their ability to throw the ball, though, I agree he's the best QB in the draft. Really impressive arm strength, touch on throws, and ability to fit the ball into tight spots. He is a bit of a gunslinger and has made some really questionable throws as well, though.

I have a soft spot for Tyler Wilson. He kinda reminds me of a poor man's Jay Cutler. Same exact size as Jay. Very underrated arm, that I don't feel gets noticed like it should because he followed Mallett who had a Cannon. Not as strong as Cutler's arm, but can make all the throws. More mobile than people realize. Very tough, will stand in and take a hit, probably takes too many hits for my liking. I think he made a very good decision by coming back to school. Gets another full year behind C. Lost a lot of WR talent, so if he has another big year, can't give credit to the talent around him (though Cobi Hamilton is an early round pick). Like Cutler, won't be the top QB off the board, but has a chance to be the best QB in the class.

That is Zook. Can't win but can recruit and develop athletes.

Year after having Liuget, LeShoure and Martez Wilson in the first 3.

A team would do very well to hire Zook in some kind of a head recruiter/developer role. He did the same thing at Florida that he did at Illinois - had some of the most talented teams I've seen in Florida, but just couldn't win games.

Still not sold on Miami.

 

Assuming they get to the finals, which they probably do, they will probably be favorites against the Western Conference team. And I'd bet against them.

 

A team that plays good defense and doesn't turn the ball over can easily beat them. I'd take OKC or SA. Miami's half court offense is still suspect. And I can already hear the LeBron haters getting on him disappearing it the fourth quarter. You heard it here first.

I don't see how they can get to the Finals with Tannehill either. That team has all sorts of problems. I mean, after they traded Marshall, who's gonna catch the ball for them?

If the Colts are picking 1st again they will be trading that pick for a small fortune.

 

That would really be great. However, I doubt the Colts are drafting first next year.

 

The Bears are going to break Luck in half in Week 1, so they'll probably go winless
