Interested to see jake locker tonight

I'm thinking why did this thread have to be in the Dolphin main. :wink2:

I have seen him and i like him . Good size and strong arm.......sleeper..overshadowed a bit with talks of Luck and Cam Newton

Well last year, everyone was saying that this year would be "the Jake Locker draft". I'm interested to see what the kid's got as well, but man, he really fell from grace in most people's eyes.

Not really a sleeper due to the hype from the beginning. But outrageous athleticism and a great arm, but he's very very raw and inconsistent.

Don't like him. At all.

He was touted as a potential #1, but even before his fall from grace his stats don't shine in any way.

He's a guy who'd need at least 2 seasons before he was ready to start IMO. He's almost a luxury pick for a team with a veteran QB. A team like Seattle maybe?

I wouldn't draft him if you paid me.

What this guy said.

I live up here and have watched almost every game of his (it's local tv up here). I have been racking my brain trying to figure out the hype. I figured up here it's just because he's a local boy, so they're proud of their own.... But he's not that good! He's essentially a great athlete moonlighting as a QB. His mechanics and decision making aren't anything special.

Everyone was wrong then too :lol:

What's crazy is they were touting him as a #1 overall coming off his injury season where he didn't play.

The guy is flat out bad IMO. I've watched him for two seasons now and just not impressed at all. His game against Nebraska earlier this season was a horrific performance.

Just brutal. I sure hope Jake Locker's mother never sees your posts about her kid. :tongue2:

Personally, Jake Locker is not going to make it in the NFL. Washington has sucked with him there too. Nebraska should spank their backsides tonight in SD. My guy is either Mallet, Newton or Pryor if he declares. 2 of the three should be available when out pick comes around in the first round.

Pryor will be back. I don't like him, think he's a bad QB and same goes for Mallett but some will disagree with me. :)

:no:

Put me down with disagreeing with you. If you think Pryor is bad I imagine then you think Henne is good.

And for the life of me I can't understand why we are seeing this (horrible) matchup again ? Couldn't the conferences and the bowl agree on a different matchup ? I don't plan on wasting my time watching it. I'll be watching rugby with a friend of mine instead.

The fins could draft him, have David Lee and Dan Henning coach him up, and he'll be playing baseball in a year.

Locker has pretty nice mobility but I just hope we pass on him if he is still on the board.

I am hoping that Jake Locker plays the game of his life, has the best combine in the history of the NFL and then gets drafted before the Dolphins pick.

The guy is a bad quarterback.

Agree to disagree.

Agreed.

With this teams luck, all that will happen and we'll SELECT him.

*Rumor* here in Nebraska was supposedly the Big 12 pushed for this matchup. Kind of a, one last screw job on Nebraska for leaving the Big 12 for the Big 10. Plus, supposedly the Big 12 didnt want the Big 10 to get free publicity for next year if the Insight Bowl would have gotten the Nebraska/Iowa matchup that was being talked about around this area alot.
Not exactly the matchup that we NU fans were wanting either. NU already beat them by 35 earlier in the year, and plays them again at the beginning of next season, and now the bowl game. 3 matchups in 12 months. Yay!

If he is available in the 4th round I do not know if Ireland could resist.

lol,I didn't say we should draft him just curious to see why he has a first round grade.
