Jood puts down the X-Box long enough to interview Keith Price.

[Passion]

I hope this kid lands somewhere. He's no Karl Bonnell, but he deserves a shot.

What do you feel like you have to prove to the NFL types?

“Just arm strength. A lot of people look at my arm and don’t think I can rip the ball, but I think I have a pretty solid arm. I think I’m accurate, and I think I can make a lot of the big-time throws the guys in the NFL are making right now. I’m very confident.”

What do you think scouts want to see from you?

“I just think they want to see me throw live, and then they can make their assessments from there. Which is no problem. I’m anxious for it. It’s like getting ready for a game. I haven’t had those butterflies in a while, so I love this feeling, man.”

Have you had a chance to reach out to Russell Wilson lately as you’ve gone through this process?

“I actually haven’t talked to him since the night before the Super Bowl. He’s been pretty busy since then. But he told me, ‘If I can do it, you can do it.’ And that’s all you need to say. All I need is an opportunity — I’ve been saying it for a while — all I need is a foot in the door and I’ll take care of the rest.”

Russell Wilson's silence at a time like this speaks volumes.

That said, I'm rooting or Keith. IMO the biggest thing for him is getting his knees healthy. I'm not sure that's even a realistic possibility at this poont, but if there was ever a guy who could stand to go a year without getting hit it, it's KP. A mobile Price would have a real shot, I think. The Price who can barely move around in the pocket has no prayer of getting a gig at the next level, let alone surviving there.

Hopefully he can get the medical help he needs.

This. Price would be an NFL QB if he didn't move like his legs were held together by chunks of broken rubber bands tied together with granny knots. Nobody would be talking about his arm which is solid.

That's a completely different (and much more valid) issue.

Manning and Brady are big, prototypical QBs with uncommonly good pocket presence. That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that they both thrive in offenses that are tailored to keep heat off of them. Both of them suck when that design fails.

Invalid comparison.

 

[puppylove_sugarsteel]

I'm rooting for KP as well. Hope he shines. Bridgewater proved he's overrated. Very tough, but overrated a bit. Might help KP. Wouldn't surprise me to see no QB taken in the top 10. This QB class Is horrible. Glove boy Bridgewater is prolly the best because he's so tough, but he can't throw with bare hands. McShay is A FUCKING BLOVIATING IDIOT.

I wouldnt take Bortles (Ponder at BEST) or any of these scrubs in the top half of round 1. Maybe someone will take flyer on Price as a FA. Can't be worse than these fucks will be "on the next level". Maybe one or two will make it in the NFL. But no fucking way am I passing on Clowney for a project QB, or a 10 - year starter at tackle in Greg Robinson and Jake Mathews, or 2 certain all - pro WR'S in Sammy Watkins and Marquise Lee... Fans want an instant starter at qb. None of these guys are in Andrew Luck ' s league. Not damn close!

Can't wait to see which teams throw their futures away with Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles with top 5 picks. I love the draft

The bolded point completely applies to Keith Price. That's why he had trust issues with Sark.

He could trust Sark to keep calling for 5-7 step drops to fool teams that were getting into the backfield as fast as the ball was snapped.

My original language was too strong. Should have said that I think Price could spend some years in the NFL and be a good backup option in the right situation. With his legs being what they are and his size being what it is, I don't think he has a real shot. I just think he has an underrated arm.

Totally agree. I think the pocket presence criticism is valid as well.

 

[kh83]

I'm with PL_SS on this one. Top 3qbs scare the shit out of me, if I'm investing a top 10 pick on them. Late first round, they'd certainly entice me to roll the dice. If I'm a team like JAX, my board reads Clowney, Watkins, Mack and I look to grab a Carr, McCarron or Mettenberger in round two or later.

 

[RoadDawg55]

Price will be interesting to watch. Maybe with better coaching he looks like he did in 2011, which was an NFL caliber QB. I think the OL issues in 2012 ruined him. He got broken physically and developed really bad habits when facing any pressure. Sometimes he even imagined pressure that wasn't really there. If he can fix those issues, he can at least be a back up QB. His arm has always been fine.

Yeah he'd have a short lived stay anywhere that doesn't have a well oiled machine for an offense. Basically he'd need the Joe Montana 49ers offenses and he'd thrive. Doesn't seem like too much to ask does it?

Yeesh. Rough response on the Russel Wilson question...

Might as well have been, "I've been texting Russel everyday since the super bowl, still no response. Fuck."
