Buyer Beware

I do hope everyone had a chance to watch the Sugar Bowl last night.  Fun game for sure.  Ohio State gets their rout on, only to almost give it all away, only for Ryan Mallett to throw an AWFUL interception at the Ohio State 7 with under a minute to go in what would have been a game winning drive.

Hats off to the Arkansas defense, which had the hell beaten out of it in the first half, only to turn around and dominate the Buckeyes in the second half, causing turnovers, getting stops and even blocking a punt with under a minute to play.

That brings us to Ryan Mallett, widely projected as the #2 quarterback available in the upcoming NFL draft.  Mallett looked really bad for long stretches last night, wasn't accurate, looked nervous stepping up in the pocket.  His evening culminated in a "What the FUCK were you thinking?" pick in the last minute of the game.

This kid looks a whole lot more like Jimmy Clausen than Matt Ryan.  And yet, some team will draft (and likely start) him.  The guy reminds me a lot of Joey Harrington, and we all know how that worked out. Couple last night's meltdown with his similar meltdown against Alabama earlier in the season and the red flags are officially flying.  Here's hoping your team doesn't draft this guy!
