Dylan Farve....

[Todd4State]

is taller than Favre. And so is Chase Daniels. And so is Drew Brees. And for the record aGAIN a QB that is 6 foot tall like Brees and Daniels are is NOT undersized, especially in college. Ask any NFL scout about that.

Favre is listed at 5'10" on Scout. And I have heard that is stretching it.

The only guy that I can recall that was Favre's size that succeeded was Doug Flutie. He was successul because he had a rocket launcher for an arm and he was exceptionally fast. He was an anamoly. And if Favre does indeed succeed, he will be an anamoly to. Who knows? He may be that one guy like Flutie that comes along every 20 years. I doubt it though.

I'm not too terribly upset about Dan signing him. He has already given us good pulicity- almost as much as Euells has given us. But I doubt he starts more than one year with Tyler Russell being on campus. If Favre starts more than his senior year, it's because Tyler got hurt.

i've seen him play in 16 games. He is a hellava passer and a huge competitor.
most of you whiners will be suprised by his pocket presence and knowing what to do with the ball. He isn't no Tyson Lee.

 

[patdog]

that I didn't want him either until I saw him play.

Similar numbers? Dylan Favre's numbers are among theTop5-10 of ALL of high school football history. ALL high schools ALL time.

How manyquarterbacks OVER 6 feet tall have done whatFavreaccomplished in high school?

http://www.courant.com/sports/os-recruiting-harry-prospector-1210-20091209,0,5272786.story

-- In 2009, Favre accounted for 81 touchdowns, the most in the history of high school football; any state, any level. He amassed 6,797 yards from scrimmage (or 453 per game), good enough for second all time. His 5,539 passing yards were the fourth-most (Note: he eclipsed 500 yards in three games, and threw for 498 in another); his 63 (passing) touchdowns placed 10th all time.

-- For his career, Favre finished with 170 total touchdowns (that's third-most by a player in the nation), 14,205 total yards (fifth), 13,509 passing yards (fifth) and 144 touchdowns (eighth). He's 10th in completions (751) and attempts (1,237).

He won't be competing in HS anymore, he will be competing in the greatest college football conference in all the world. . Lots of small QBs have put up ridiculous numbers in HS.<div>
</div><div>Michael Herrick, the midget QB OM signed a few years ago, was taller than Favre. He set all of the California HS records for a QB. Broke a fellow named John Elway's records.

[coursesuper]

The kid can play. poise, football smarts. plenty of arm and more.

 

[fishwater99]

You never know how big he can get with modern science on our side.

 

[AllAmericanDawg]

I don't know that I remember a recruit that has had such dislike on one side and such praise on the other.

We havesomeone in a thread below calling other posters out and challenging them to basically confront the guy and he hasn't even practiced, much less played yet.

I wasn't challenging everyone to confront Favre. Just saying if Shmuley were to go up and call him minfavre to his face as much as he spouts off on this board, he would most likely be punched in the face. I hope hetakes us back to Atlanta...hell, I hopeRussell or Relf does to.

 

[AllAmericanDawg]

but I'm still frustrated as hell that in 2010 as an SEC school we're stuck taking f'n fliers on 5'9" buck 80 QB projects. It's ********. We've got the guy that coached f'n tebow. Come on, man!

I'm tired of your ********. Either you're really dumb or slightly retarded or possibily not even literate. It's not a flier. He's not 5'9". He's not 180 pounds.

Our Top Dawg camp measured him. They timed him. Not the Clarion-Ledger, not Scout.com and not Rivals. Our coaching staff - so they knew his physical measurements. So if he coached Tebow, Leak, Smith, the guy from Bowling Green, give him some credit.

 

[jzahner1]

it's been done before but the odds are against him. we'll just have to wait to see what he can do. However, if you are going to take a chance on a kid, I think he is one of those you take a chance on.

Def. agree with that. Everyone needs to stop this short talk crap. Let the man come in and do what he does. Then criticize him. SPS is notorious for this. I say lay off him and let his play speak for itself. Dang near 7000 yards in one season. Dang. You have to take a chance on that.

 

[AllAmericanDawg]

His throwing motion is jacked up, and his arm strength isn't very good.

and call out the people that are full of ****. You being one of them.

Do you coach football for a living? Is that your job, your livelihood? Probably not...what do you do?If you're an accountant, does Dan Mullen tell you how to balance your books? If you arework in an auto shop, does Mullen come in and tell you how to fix cars? So who in the %@*@ are you to tell him about quarterbacks?

You've probably never seen him play, never evaluated film, didn't evaluate him at camp, have never stood next to him like some of the 'fans' on this board have, coached a quarterback, measured his arm strength or anything that would make your statement anything remotely qualified. What do you know about his throwing motion other than what you've heard ESPN analysts say? Have you studies throwing mechanics? His arm strength? Where did you measure that? You've hated on him for long enough and now, I'll pass judgement on you as a dumb *!*!*###$%*$. What gives me any qualifications on that? I know several and you fit the profile.

 

[AllAmericanDawg]

but if someone is going to make a highlight tape, I would assume that they would put their best plays on there.

I was honestly more impressed with Boomer Scarbrough than Favre on the film.

Because we're talking about a QB and so you being more impressed with Scarborough gives you even less credibility.

completed half of his passes in that game. And I saw one pass that was over 30 yards in that highlight reel.

Just because I'm not a chef for a living, it does not mean that I can't tell that my steak doesn't taste bad.

Look, I'm not questioning Mullen at all. I understand the dynamics behind why we took Favre. We didn't get Newton, and we didn't get Brunetti. So we took Favre. Dan Mullen himself said that they were looking for someone like him that was taller. That should tell you something since Dan does this for a living by your logic right?

As far as his arm strength- he never throws it on a line. Everything he throws has a high arc to it.

Seen him play- in person, no. I already admitted that. Seen film- yes. Several times. And as I said, if you make a highlight film I'm going to assume that you put the best plays on there.

And yes, I have studied throwing mechanics. He does indeed bring the ball down to low. But I guess the ESPN analysts who played QB in the NFL for years somehow have less credibility than Dan Mullen.

You're taking this WAY too personally. This is a MB. One that opinions are encouraged on. I am entitled to mine as you are yours. in this situation, one of us is going to be right- most likely me because Favre will sit behind Russell for four years anyway- or you. And unlike some on the board, I can admit when I'm wrong and I'm OK with that. Heck, I hope he proves me wrong.

By the way, how many QB's have you evaluated lately? How many times have you studied QB mechanics? Have you seen him play? Do you have a poster of him above your bed? How many guys have you sent to the NFL? What kind of pizza does he like? How many games have you coached? And won? Did you really go to camp with Favre? Seriously?

I'm going to venture that the answers are No. Mechanics? What do cars have to do with this. YES! HELL YES! None. Pepperoni. Zero. (Cough) No (Cough) and (Cough).

OK, you're not a chef but do they ask you to go back into the kitchen and fix the steak?

I'm saying that you are an armchair quarterback with little tono credibility. Theysaid all along they had offered Newton and Brunetti. Favre was choice #3. Worked out for him, hopefully for the Bulldogs. The same analysts thattalk about throwing mechanics arethe ones who said Vince Young had an awkward throwing motion (as he led theTitans back into playoff contention). But I've watched a lot ofCollege Gameday and NFL Gameday and never seen themdiscuss Favre or his throwing mechanics

I'm not taking it personaly. I'm just saying that you are saying things off a Jackson Prep cutup you watched on youtube and maybe one other game. You are entitled to an opinion. But please make it somewhat educated. Don't just say spout **** to say it.

The answer is 4, years, yes, no, none, pepperoni, plenty, plenty, no I didn't go to camp - merely stated that he was evaluated at Top Dawg camp, and yes, above all - seriously

 

[HD6]

I would think he is also behind Hutson Mason, Nash Nance, and Jacoby Walker.

 

[thatsbaseball]

It`s not like we signed him to a no cut contract where he`s guaranteed X amount of playing time. If he works out Mullen plays him if he doesn`t Mullen won`t play him. The animosity/venom/stupidity coming out some of ourfans about this kid before he is even given a chanceis really embarrassing.
