Ryan Mallett

[Sigma]

Probably already discussed but in CASE it hasn't did anyone hear 610 radio interview with a New England person that covered the team that Mallet is the slowest QB he has EVER seen even compared to MS. The other disturbing info was that the person said he is not even close to being an athlete and he came in with one of the worst bodies he has ever seen in NFL or something to that effect. I will definitely be watching the game to see BOBs choice for QB.
I will be interested to see if he even lasts the whole game. Why didn't the Texans Rick/BOB feel they needed to IMPROVE the QB position. I still wonder if they think they bought more time on the job by doing nothing or worse at QB position. The other thing the person said is everyone knew the Patriots weren't going to keep Mallet on the team. Then why the hell did we trade for?

I'm don't have an opinion on mallett yet, I'd rather see him before.

But have you ever seen some photos from tom brady combine? not exactly the best example of "body" given he was supposed to be an NFL athlete.

If he is not good we can dump him anyways, and keep doing that untill we find someone good

 

[TexanBacker93]

Good post Doc.... everyone should remember this when we get heavier into draft talk & the height issue comes up. No, you don't have to be tall to be a QB in the NFL, but these are the kinds of things you have to overcome if you are not.



Two things.

1. Case was a better scramler than Fitz... barely, but better
2. Case is unemployed

& just to be mean, Case didn't do a whole lot across the middle of the field either. He was much better on the deep outs.

I'm not sure Case was a better scrambler than Fitz. He was more mobile, but Fitz at least scrambled for positive yards. At the first sign of pressure Keenum ran 10 yards backwards first.

What if John McClain was talking? We'd all laugh because he's an idiot. Guy from NE could be that guy too.

Everyone needs to calm down and let him get on the field so we can see what he has. Just R-E-L-A-X.

No pictures but I do agree since we have him now is a good time to see what he can do. Gives us enough time to see what Savage may turn into.

John McClain reports on the Texans for the Houston Chronicle and he doesn't know squat either. Just because some dude said it, or was rumored to have said it, doesn't mean anything.

I have seen with my own eyes Mallett moves around in the pocket nicely in both college and NFL preseason games. He even ran a few in from 6 to 10 yards out. Remember a few years back that Raiders game we should have won if only Schaub would have been able to beat one guy from 3 yards out? Mallett made that look easy and it there was a lot more traffic.

Anyway, carry on with the Mallett is slowest QB on the planet. It's going to be a long long 11 days with this nonsense going on.

Yes, unfortunately true. He was always good for 10-15 yards if he could just first dig himself out of the 10-15 yard hole he dug at the start of the run.

That was Tom Curran, and he also said Mallett fixed his bad body by working hard in the gym, and he heaped praise on him for growing up into a guy he grew to like as a person...

As to Mallett's off the field growth from that knucklehead with John Daly at Gruden's QB Camp, Patriots beat writer Tom E. Curran wrote...

Now that Ryan Mallett is a Texan, let's tie up some loose ends on "Tex."

Mallett and his laser-rocket arm sat on the board until the third round of the 2011 draft because of rumored off-field issues including drug use. In three seasons with the Patriots he went from a guarded, smirking kid with an awful body to a mature, outgoing NFL player who took the job seriously. He went back and got his degree. He handled himself over the past few months like a professional. He's so far different than the player who came here...

The key to success in this offense is pocket presence/movement within the pocket. That doesn't require foot speed, it requires patience and a bit of courage. Go back and watch most recent Brady vs. "the next world champion" Broncos and you see how it's done.

 

[infantrycak]

Wait, he didn't tell the whole story? Amazing.

Trying to piece together the picture here - Mallett is a literal statue who is a non-athlete, out of shape, wigger, moron, who's incapable of hitting a barn from inside. Man that Belichick is some sort of masterful scout to come up with that for his highest QB draft pick to that date. And he is some sort of media whiz to convince them taking Mallett in the 3rd was a great value pick/steal.

If Rick Smith would have drafted a qb to be the backup and at the same time extended a contract to another backup qb, believe me people here would be getting upset.
Mallett was leaving regardless if New England wanted him or not. He was not going to stay to be the backup in New England and New England wasn't going to offer him a contract when they are already paying Brady tons of money to stay there.

Because he probably would have been asking for way more than that. Not a whole lot, but somebody out there would have paid. Good thing we're giving him that contract because it seems like it's less than what we gave Fitz.
Actually, I would blame whoever let Yates and Keenum go, because the money we spent with Fitz could have paid this contract.

Don't understand this thinking, unless they think he will become a star and have him for cheap.

When I heard the think about the "slowest QB he's seen" I kind of tuned him out. There's video of Ryan Mallet from this preseason that easily proves otherwise.

As far as waiting for New England to cut him, no one knows if that would have been this year or next. The writing was on the wall, that Mallet's time in New England was drawing to a close, but it's not like New England was against carrying three QBs. These guys have serious Super Bowl aspirations every year.

Then as far as doing nothing or worse at the QB position... I think we went after Mallet early in the offseason because we wanted him. We wanted him because OB & Godsey like what he brings to the table. So we got a good prospect... as good as anyone in the draft, imo.... & we got Savage, a longshot, but still talented. Size, arm, experience, good competition... smart...

I feel better, now that Fitz is on the bench, about our QB situation than I have in a long, long time.

That's his rookie contract. Note it runs through 2014. When you trade for a player you get the contract. That one was signed 7/28/11.

So the question is what is our portion this year? Let him hit street, sign for 1 year for equal amount and not owe any draft choice.

thanks for clarification.

It's beyond stupid to complain about giving up a 6th & that contract for a starting QB. That would be a steal.... that would be just like drafting him in the third round of the draft & having him tied up on a cheap contract, like Russell Wilson & having 4 whole years to figure out what he's got.

Start complaining if we're taking more than $10M/yr cap hits on this guy.

However, we signed Matt Schaub to a similar contract, in "today's dollars" sight unseen & that worked out, more or less.

& I don't think we signed Mallet to that contract. No way he'd sign for anything less than $12M for two years. No way.

Get over the freaking worthless draft pick. Find something legitimate wait actually significant to complain about. This is like bitching about paying $3.27/gal for gas instead of $3.23/gal.

But to answer - the Texans owe only the $776k last year salary of the rookie deal.

$776, 976

If he flashes, we'll probably have to franchise him & then try to strong arm him into a better deal.

Ryan Fitzpatrick signed a 2 year / $7.25 million contract with the Houston Texans, including a $1,250,000 signing bonus, $4,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $3,625,000

BOB's first big decision as Texans head coach. Hopefully up from here. Was the second the Clowney decision or is that on Smith or since we don't know nobody has responsibility. I just want the Texans to have a well run team and be competitive which hasn't happened.

I agree with you. I am much more upset that we did not trade 1.1 and decided to choose Clowney when we did keep. Also that we did not get rid of Mario earlier, that Rick Smith is still GM,..............................................

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

I've been watching more film on Mallett and I'm excited. Just from a talent standpoint...

Seeing some of the throws he makes. And I think his ability in the pocket is underrated. I think he's definitely capable of being a franchise QB.

I think we'll see a better team after the bye week. More specifically a better offense.

 

[TexanBacker93]

I think the reason you trade for him is the same reason Atlanta gave us a player for Yates and Oakland gave us a 5th round pick for Schaub. It was common knowledge that these players were going to be released, but you don't know where they might go. If you have a need at a position and can get someone to fill a hole for a fairly cheap price why not? Who knows what happens if he hits the streets. If New England cuts Mallet maybe the Texans can get him to come in, but he would probably be wanting more than a 1 year deal especially if he isn't the starter. Or, he'd want to go somewhere else that gives him a better opportunity to play this season. Although looking over the QB landscape I'm not certain there would be a better place to come in if you were a newly found young free agent QB. Maybe Tennessee.

Still, we lost a 7th or a 6th round pick in the 2016 draft for Mallet. Considering we got a 5th this year for Schaub I am ok with this move. If he sucks and doesn't prove to be the guy then we haven't invested much. We get compensatory picks each year so we can offset that lost pick. If he ends up being a Hall of Famer that leads us to 5 Super Bowl victories over the next decade then it will go down as one of the greatest trades in the history of the sport. I guess there is some gray area between the 2 scenarios that could also be possible. No matter what the outcome, it was a good move.

Waaaaaayyyyy OT. But I was watching the SanDiego@Miami game & was really impressed with Tannehill's arm. He was throwing bullets. I didn't remember him having such a strong arm before. Even on throws where he couldn't set his feet, he was getting good speed, spin, & accuracy on his throws.

 

[NYTexansFan]

I'm wondering what the excuses will be from the board when Mallett is unable to set his feet, is sacked continually, and turns the ball over. If the team plays like it did for Fizpatrick, the close games you have been watching will likely be one-sided blowouts in favor of the opposition. What is particularly funny about the last game is that Fitz pulled the team to within 3 (should have been tied if not for another missed chip shot FG). All the defense had to do was make a stop early in the fourth quarter to give the offense a chance to take the lead. But of course, they give up a ten minute touchdown drive to mark Sanchez, essentially sealing the loss. Good luck with this team and coaching staff, Mr. Mallet.

I felt a couple of years ago that Tannehill was somewhat underrated. I'm not surprised.

There won't be no excuses. Most of us will be saying, "Next!!!"

I mean... if we were looking for a QB to get us within 3..... yeah, Fitz would be the guy. But we're not.

Still, I don't think we'll be seeing Savage under any circumstances this year, so there's a chance we'll see Fitz again. If he does get on the field, he needs to get his head out of his ass & throw the ball downfield.

It's up to him, it's always been up to him. Doesn't matter what we think about him, doesn't matter what we say about him. It's up to him.

If you'd been around to know the history of this MB you would know how far off base you are. Keenum had a much more zealous following that Mallett. Yeah there were some posts styled off of yours on behalf of Fitz, but after a few games BOTH poor pass protection, lack of a running game, poor D AND poor QB play were being criticized.

 

[Double Barrel]

yep, that's the first thing that came to my mind, as well.

Contrary to popular opinion, QBs do not have to be elite athletes to win Super Bowls:

Tom Brady at NFL Combine

Big Ben

Eli Manning

Peyton Manning

There is four QBs with 8 Super Bowl rings and 13 Super Bowl appearances between them.

NONE of them are elite athletes, but all of them have great arms and smarts between the ears.

[ChampionTexan]

Also that we did not get rid of Mario earlier, that Rick Smith is still GM,..............................................

I'm no fan of Rick Smith, and I hope they replace him after this season, but the Texans ended up with a 3rd round compensatory pick for Mario. If they'd traded him prior to his final season, he would have been a guy with a year left on his contract, making almost $14 Million in that season, and in line for close to a 9 figure total on his next contract. Do you really think we would have found someone to give us more than a 3rd?

Hopefully Mallett knows how to throw the ball away or find a receiver after 5 seconds, unlike fitz who just looked stupid for 5 and then ran around a little to get sacked in better field position

It's never been questioned if he had the arm or pocket mobility to succeed. It's his accuracy and decision making. We won't really know if he's improved on that until he gets out there and gets live reps under pressure. It's a lot easier to make the right decision in practice with the red jersey on. Making the right decision with a DE in your face is quite different. There's no substitute for experience and unfortunately Mallett doesn't have any.

I will definitely be watching the game to see BOBs choice for QB.
I will be interested to see if he even lasts the whole game. Why didn't the Texans Rick/BOB feel they needed to IMPROVE the QB position. I still wonder if they think they bought more time on the job by doing nothing or worse at QB position. The other thing the person said is everyone knew the Patriots weren't going to keep Mallet on the team. Then why the hell did we trade for him?

Why don't you watch some of his preseason game tape? He does a lot of good things in this offense and if his TD scramble was slower than MS's, it wasn't by much.

Love how so many supported the trash that has been Fitz, the eventual fall of Schaub and how people even fell in love with home grown Case, but giving Mallett a fair shot? **** NO says the masses

I don't know who you think was for Fitz. Back when he was first annointed the starter before training camp many of us were like WTF!?!? Most of us thought Fitz was brought in to tutor Savage (which, looking back was an even worse idea than starting him).

Like I said, I have no expectations. That way they cannot be crushed. Can't destroy what doesn't exist. If Mallett shines, we're in good shape; we can take our time and keep grooming Savage to be a solid #2 (maybe a #1 one day). If he REALLY shines maybe we get a wildcard berth.
OTOH, if he fails, or is "meh", well, now we know what we need to target during the next draft and/or F/A period.
I'm just kicking back and checking it all out

I agree. I honestly would watch the Texans on Sunday just to see if they would put Mallett in. Now, I have a reason to watch the games, even if it's to evaluate Mallett and see how he does.

It was frustrating to hear that Fitz gave us the best chance to win. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

I keep hearing people on talk radio say that the Texans are "punting the season away" with this decision.

I think it is the opposite. I think this gives the season one last chance, plus it gives some valuable insight into Mallet and if they should keep him or look for a QB in 2015.
