OT Mettenberger has torn ACL

[Denny Green Fan]

Todd Mcshay says it will cause his draft stock to drop half a round. Most

improved player in the country. Could be Cards second round steal. Who knows?

 

[splitsecond]

Yeah, that's just what we need. Another 2nd round "steal" due to injury. That way RW has someone he can eat snow cones on the sidelines with.

 

[pacman]

He was as immobile as Carson Palmer before the injury so he's probably going to be even slower in the pocket now. No thankyou.

 

[O]

All the local talking heads on the radio today were pimping him for the Cards.

I would draft him in a heartbeat in the second round, how much slower can you get than he already was being a traditional QB. The guy is a pocket passer, not a WR or scrambling QB...come on.

And Arians has made it clear he doesn't care for mobile QBs and likes the more traditional pocket passer....so it may be a fit.

So what defines a mobil QB? To me it is a guy who can extend a play by avoiding the pass rush while looking for receivers. Not a zone read or one read and run QB. Take a guy like Ben Roethlisberger. He's not a running QB but he extends plays with his mobility in the pocket. I don't think Arians would not care for him.

Luck & Big Ben are about as mobile as they come. Arians just doesn't like the read-option offense.

 

[sundevil04]

I can't see him falling to around pick 50, which is where our 2nd rounder will likely be. He may fall to the top of rd 2 but tee that need a QB will start a feeding frenzy to get him once he hits pick 33.

If Arians and Moore like him, grab him at #20

Then he better stock up on oline help first.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

He's always kind of been a fringe first rounder. If he drops half a round then he may fall to the Cards in round 2. If he's there in round 2, the Cards would be stupid to pass on him. I would be ok with trading up a little in round 2, if needed, to nab him.

 

[BigRedRage]

if hes a QBOTF, why not? LEt Palmer play his second year while this kid learns and heals.

He was projected mid 1st round so we would have to trade up in second round or take him with the first pick. he shouldnt fall to the end of the second if he is as good as they made him sound on the radio.

Dan Kadar of SBNATION.com claims Cards have sent a heavy contingent

to the last two Texas A&M games. He said Bidwill and Keim also went.

He thinks the Cards like Johnny Football.

I dont see any way we would get johnny football with our late round pick. Maybe we are scouting someone else playing there.

Their 2 OT's are both projected 1st rounders.

that makes more sense

Yeah but isnt he considered a top5/10 pick? we would have to trade the farm and I hear he doesnt have a cannon arm?
