Peter King Loves Max !!!

Drafting is obviously an inexact science. Look at Stephen Williams.

And Williams is far from a HOF'er at this point, though he looks promising.

Peter King is usually the kiss of death though. Didn't he pick Jake Plummer as his preseason MVP like 9 years in a row?

I am coming around on Hall. However, I still think we are jumping the gun a little bit. We are already acting like he is a franchise QB. He still hasn't taken a snap in a real NFL game.

I'm excited that we may have found a QBoF. We know QB D anderson si not the answer. Don't we?

so true

I like to think that Peter is due for a good prediction

 

[Billy Bob]

If for some reason Hall doesn't become a starter in this league, it won't be because of his size...
But I do see this kid getting his shot one day - maybe this year - and when he does, there will be no turning back. Once he steps into that roll, he'll hold onto it for a long time to come.

Remembering Kent Graham going down...... Jake Jake Jake Jake Jake.......... Max Max Max.........

Kent Graham?? He couldn't hold Hall's jock in college alone!
Jake? Same... and, Hall is twice as driven, mature and motivated as Jake ever was...

He also is the same guy who compared Josh McCown to Brett Favre after the combine.

they said Matt had "IT"

Who? Pete Carroll?

LOL, solid!

I don't really care for Peter King but I always find myself reading his MMQB on Monday mornings. He's an Office fan, so I like him for that. Interesting read on Max though...

Yes, but his "IT" turned out to be an STD from a hot tub party.

"h. More than once, disgusted with his play on a particular pass in a game, Hall called one or more of his BYU receivers and asked to meet them late at night to get the play right, according to columnist Dan Bickley of the Arizona Republic."

How is it this guy was missed by all 32 teams for 7 rounds in the draft?

How did they miss on Kurt Warner? I'm certain they looked at his height, his age (26), and his arm strength, put it all together and said you can't afford to give that kid guaranteed money. It's almost impossible to measure how a young QB is going to react under center for the first time facing an NFL defense that is 10 times faster then he every could dream of in college doing things he never thought possible. Sometimes guys just have the right stuff the process all that information and you don't know it until you see them do it.

Max Hall appears to be that kind of guy.

Allow me to suggest Hall may have suffered some for his alma mater's reputation for QBs in the NFL. A lot of those guys come in highly rated and end up not living up to the hype for reasons most people think should have been obvious with hindsight (short, slow, and weak-armed? duh!). QBs from BYU have the reputation of being system guys -- like QBs under June Jones in the run-and-shoot. It was probably hard to determine why Hall was any different.

What if Anderson just happens to have a pro bowl season. His contract is heavily incentive loaded. Then we could be facing the same qb controversy again next year, at least I hope!

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Not true. That was never said of Leinart. I have to admit though, that I thought Plummer had "it". Turns out that Plummer couldn't avoid the boneheaded decisions he made.

You were right about Plummer. Just the wrong sport. He is a hand-ball phenom from what I heard.

The hand-ball tournment in Po-Dunk, North Dakota had 5 extra fans the year. They are a calling it the Plummer effect.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Brett Farve change his name to Max Farve ?

 

[BigRedRage]

Who? Pete Carroll?

page two has a list of articles they said it in.

Great! Peter King just ruined Max Hall's career.

 

[john h]

Leinart wouldn't have missed the checkdown.

Who is Leinart?

 

[john h]

they said Matt had "IT"

He did in college but somewhere between there and the pros he lost it.

Even though Hall doesn't display a cannon arm, there is a big difference between some decent NFL arms based on footwork. A QB that will go unnamed wouldn't have the right footwork and launch a deep ball that lands 5-10 yards short.

Max Hall, has great footwork and knows how to put momentum behind his balls. Add in quick recognition, and suddenly a mediocre arm can make throws like a pretty strong arm. Hall consistently puts what he can on his throws, meanwhile some other qb's don't, and their mediocre arm strength drops down to pathetic in those scenarios. Hall has little drop off because of how he can get himself almost instinctively into the right position to throw. I love that.

I found this spot on in the article.

"True story: Whisenhunt was likely to keep Leinart around this year, and to keep Hall on the practice squad for the year, until he saw him in offseason camps and in this summer's training camp. He thought Hall was certainly ready to play now, and more suited to run the offense than Leinart was after three years in Whisenhunt's offense."

I very much like it that he is mobile and can be accurate on the move. I think Jake was the last mobile QB we had. Of course Kurt was slower than me but he could unleash the ball as fast or faster than anyone in the NFL. In the game against Washington he reminded me of Joe Montana. I know this was one preseason game and he is no Joe Montana but for that one game he sure looked like Joe.

For the same reason Kurt Warner was missed by all 32 teams.
