Did Tajh hurt his draft stock by staying?
Apr 3, 2014, 10:12 AM
|
|
Last year's QB class was not that great. Tajh would be projected higher than he is now. He is now projected as the 14th best QB in the class behind Savage, Smith, Fales, Thomas, and Shaw.

I will be very surprised if he goes behind the guys you listed. Maybe Thomas but he is really tall. Anyway I think it is possible he dropped a little but he was never going to be a super high pick. The press can report what ever they want but at the end of the day the scouts know what they are looking for. If Boyd declares last season he would have gone through the same process with the same criticisms. I expect him to go 4-5th round possibly early depending on how early QBs start to come off the board and if one team picks him out. If you don't think he is killing it in the interviews you haven't been watching him at Clemson. He may not ever be a franchise player but he could be one of the best back up QBs in the league if he finds the right fit.

One of your points is so often overlooked
Apr 3, 2014, 10:43 AM
|

The hindsight view that Tajh was projected high last year is really rather revisionist and misses the point that the same things that scouts say hold him back now would've all been issues last year when Tajh went through the combine/pro-day.
I don't think any rational person can say his performance over the last year dropped his draft stock. Are there more QB's in this draft? Perhaps, but in the end Tajh was ALWAYS going to be a QB who would have to play his way into a position at the next level.
I think he will, and I think this season did nothing to harm that at all.

Simple answer. Yes - big time. Was 2nd round after LSU win

But now Tajh has his degree and will also benefit from being a 4th or 5th round "value" pick. Two or three yrs on the bench and he will get his chance. He has a live arm and just needs to demonstrate solid decision making. Certainly Russell Wilson's success works in his favor.
I believe Tajh has a better pro career ahead of him than Clipboard Charlie who never elevated to starter level.

I take it the joke is that he's behind shaw? Because last time I checked, Shaw can't throw.

What do you mean? Like, he side-arms? Or can't throw for 60 yds in the air? Or only locks in on one receiver? What do you mean, can't throw?

He probably didn't - didn't show in the FSU......

game, for example, what the pro people were looking for according to what I've read - didn't have the senior season they felt he should have.
I hope he can get with a team that WANTS to develop him as I think he has it in him with the right coaching, etc. - sure do want to see him succeed.

That list doesn't mean chit. Anybody who actually believes Brett Smith will be drafted ahead of Tajh is out of their mind. Scram, coot!

Tajh-- was a mid round 3-5 last year based on his draft
Apr 3, 2014, 11:17 AM
|
|
grade(despite what the Coot Revisionists say)--maybe he goes higher because lack of QBs- but his tryout performances would have probably sank any hope of that. He should have come back based on his paperwork. In the end, he may not have improved his draft position but he didn't lose anything. Given he had to make the decision by 1/15 last year and not in April, he absolutely did the right thing.

Tajh started dropping after the combine. He would have had to go through the combine last year and most likely had the same results. The question on the dept for this class being deeper is the only thing that would change that. He is what he is but better the numbers of better talent is what hurt him. It's a crap shoot either way.....

hey moronec, maybe you better stick to getting the clown man drafted. tajh has been on a steady uptick since the combine. he has worked very hard, has a great attitude, is willing to learn and is a natural leader. just wondering, which of those qualities does the clown man possess.

You're kidding, right? He is listed as the #14 QB in the draft according to CBS sports

So that is the only draft projection out there huh? I already posted an article on here today that says Boyd is Norv Turner's favorite. Actually the article is a little misleading. They concede that Minnesota won't be able to get Bortles or Manziel and that Boyd is the favorite after that. Far from #14.

fwiw: I consider Tebow a much better QB that could will his team to a win or NC, and was a better QB than Boyd. I don't see Boyd making it in the NFL. I would recommend Canada if he seriously wants to play football.
