You can see his INT was #45's fault and although it showed Turners drop it doesn't show Armstrong's. Pat should have been 5-7 not 2-7; this is where the stats are misleading. He looked real good IMHO.

Quoting another famous NFL QB of similar talent: its not the size but the fight in the dog that countsgafinfan likes this. -
I question if the rain/sloppy weather had anything to do with the drops. Two more preseason games are coming up very soon so we'll get to see more... but I refuse to over-praise White like some are after just one preseason game.

I liked what I saw of him. Hopefully, he'll continue to make strides. I hope we work him into the Wildcat this season.

I'd like to offer a comparison between P White to John Beck.
Beck had the tools, strong arm, 4.67 40, 60% plus completion percentage and a winner in college.
But he was terrible in Miami for a very simple reason...pressure...he just could not handle things breaking down, be it protections or drops, Beck needed smooth sailing to be a good Qb.
P White, good arm, 4.49 40, 60% plus completion percentage, and winner of 4 consecutive bowl games a NCAA record. What P White showed that Beck never did was unflappability, 2 or 3 drops...no problem...P White will scramble for the first down, protection crappy...no worries, pass in the dirt...Haynos misses a block...White did not get up screaming or even slam the ball down..he just continued to play his game.
Poise and Confidence is a talent that White has in spades, White is just one of those solid, lunch pale kind of players who doesn't get to high or to low, guys like that given time and talent can become leaders....
I like the Pat White pick more now than in April, for the first time in years, maybe since Marino/Huard/Mitchell we have some talent at Qb.Disnardo, TJamesW_Phinfan and gafinfan like this. -

And I really liked John Beck, but when a 3 second buzzer does you in, there is some sort of problem with the player. -
The little glimpse of the Cat had me licking my chops, that could have easily been a huge play if the tight end would have gotten a good block instead of that lame attempt
This guy is gonna be really good, CPEP's accuracy with a arm that could hit Ginn in stride.....ah man I gotta stop.....I'm getting to pumped up here:up:gafinfan likes this. -
I think he looks good on the run but needs to learn to slide or a very large LB will kill him

Now that shouldn't diminish the poise that White showed. I think he was very impressive, but I also think this staff did a better job of putting him in a situation where he had chance to be successful in. I think if they had put him under center from the beginning and he faced the same interior blitzes he would have appeared less poised or accurate. Although his ability to run would have helped him evade that rush better.TJamesW_Phinfan likes this. -
i can't believe we have 3 good QB's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
the team is very solid for a two year revamp job it has undergone
a step up or two & we can contend
next year we will probably go after major pieces @ NT & ILB
everything else should develop within the roster -
The kid is a winner and the sooner you accept the better off you'd be.
Don't give me that it was just college crap. He QBd BCS wins over Goergia and Oklahoma and made it look easy at times.
Give the kid some patience and time, he'll do the same thing for the Dolphins.gafinfan likes this.
