In the first three rounds of the 1997 NFL draft, only 2 QBs were selected. wow. Druckenmiller in round 1, plummer round 2. Nobody in round 3.
Looked up the entire draft on wiki. perhaps the worst QB draft ever.
Druckenmiller, Plummer, Wuerffel, Pat Barnes, Mike Cherry, Chuck Clements, Tony Graziani, Koy Detmer, Wally Richardson, Tony Corbin, Ronnie Mcada

the first round of that draft was pretty weak. three HOFers (Pace, Walter Jones, Gonzalez) and a small handful of guys who were good for a while (Springs, Farrior, Glenn, Dunn), and then a just group of guys who were always available in free agency in Madden.

yes. I never saw him make end of game crushing mistakes like Fitzpatrick does all the time

He did throw a pick against Rutgers with Cuse down 8 and 3 min to go, but generally he has been really good at the end of games (See: NW, South Florida, Missouri)

Is that good enough for a team like Buffalo to take a flyer on? Don’t know.

Nassib still needs a couple years to develop into a decent to good NFL QB. He has a great arm to throw the ball between 15 and 30 yards and fit it into tight windows, but his deep ball and touch passes need A LOT of work. If you want to see what Nassib is about, the USC game proves nothing since Nassib’s WRs were dropping balls everywhere and he racked up stats in garbage time.

Watch what he did against Missouri and South Florida for the good and Minnesota and Rutgers for the bad.

I think Nassib’s ceiling is Matt Hasselbeck, a good to very good at times QB that can win you games with the right cast of players. Is that good enough for a team like Buffalo to take a flyer on? Don’t know.

if Bray interviews well, I’d be shocked. dude may as well write “Fuck you” on his forehead whenever he speaks. he soulds like he couldn’t care less about anything.

Yeah he’s a massive prick. I loved hearing Charles Davis say something to the effect of, “When I met him, I couldn’t have had a worse first impression.” lol. Loads of talent, nothing upstairs at all. He’s destined to be selling insurance in a few years.

It’s the ’99 NFL QB Draft Class: Started off with hope (them being broke was interesting until it was undone with a plot convenience), had some terrible lows (everything to do with Mr. Bates who is the Akili Smith of the show) but there are some McNabb/Culpepper moments in there…all in all highly entertaining British trash

I LOL’d at your tweet about the malpractice suit. water spit on screen

I haven’t seen enough of Nassib to comment on the nuances of his game, but a few things were clear to me. Compared to Smith, Barkley, Wilson (seemingly the top three qbs by mock consensus) I like Nassib’s arm strength, mobility, and build best. Not surprising a scout would love his talent/potential
