I have never seen him play and his college stats don't really jump out at me but i want to see for myself why this guy is a potenial first rounder.I am not going to jump to any conclusions until I see him play for myself.
What does everybody on this site think of this guy? From what i read he is a great athlete but not the most accurate guy and tends to lock on his primary receiver.

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.

Don't like him. At all.

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

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.

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

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.Conuficus likes this. -
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! -
-
It is drives like the touchdown at the beginning of the first quarter that might make a GM believe they can coach him up.
-
It's still ugly though 1-9 14 yards into the 3rd quarter.
-
i am very skeptical about newton too but id definately take him over pryor
but luckily he wont be coming out in this years draft -
Well I watched him for the first time last night and I must say I was not impressed at all. I know that he has been off for weeks now, but I don't get the hype. He didn't look special to me.

I watched the 1st half and into the 3rd last night. It was the 1st time I ever watched him and all I can say is, why do I even know this guy's name? I don't want this guy anywhere near the Phins. Even if he was available in the 7th, I don't want him. The guy couldn't even complete a pass for christ's sake. Yates looked better than Locker in the game before. Heck I'd rather have that freshman from Tennesee before Yates and especially Locker.

That was not a pretty performance. Even the passes that he DID complete, they were not good. His ball placement is not good at all and accuracy overall is bad IMO.

Locker is a horrid prospect. Maybe if you sit him on the bench for four years and he has good coaching he could be decent. In this draft you have Luck at the top, then probably Glabbert. Newton is a huge question mark and will be a project. Mallett looks like a Henne clone. Pryor probably won't declare, but if he did wouldn't be worth more than a 3rd at this stage. After Luck and Glabbert, I'd be most comfortable using a pick on Devlin or Yates.

Seen Locker in person twice.......not that great of a qb. struggles against good defenses and seems to regress when things don't go as planned. Hell, I'll go out on a limb and say that Nick Foles(U of A qb) is a better qb than Locker. Lead the Pac-10 in almost every stat this year. While I'm not saying we should draft Foles, just comparing him to another decent qb that doesn't even get recognition. Locker is a product of one good year. Last year he looked a lot more promising than now, even all the scouts said his performance this year has hurt his draft stock.
I say stay away!!! -
Wow, if so he was the worst Qb I've watched this bowl season Alen, the most pleasant surprise that I have seen is NC State's Russel, he reminded me very much of David Garrard in his physical skills.
Heard he is going to play minor league baseball though.
