Gage County Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Lee is 18 TDs and 13 INTs this season and 41 and 34 for his career. I looked through some of the past NFL drafted QBs and didn't find a TD to INT ratio as low as Lee's over the last 4 years. Nearly all are 2:1 or better.

ColoradoHusk Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The idea of entering the NFL Draft is really more of Lee’s dad’s idea than Tanner’s. Tanner’s dad thinks Tanner has first round talent, he’s just been in bad situations his entire career. Me. Lee has heard all those scouts at the Manning Camp and other NFL guys say how great Tanner was. When Tanner transferred to NU, they tried to petition the NCAA for Tanner to be eligible right away. The NCAA responded with granting Tanner a 6th year of eligibility. Tanner does look good in shorts and a T-shirt. But, he is pretty much a statue who has trouble reading defenses. That’s not wanted by many college coaches anymore, let alone NFL coaches. Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 16 hours ago, runningblind said: I think you are sorely underestimating the lack of qbs available in the NFL, and the ego of NFL coaches. Someone will be sure they can get him going. He will get drafted. Every team needs a qb and there are only about 8 really good ones on the planet, but everyone thinks they can find the next one. You will hear "his line was so bad at NU the wideouts didn't help him out" blah blah blah, and he will get drafted. Not to mention he has the advantage of having run a pro style system. These guys running the spread are behind the 8 ball. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I must be missing the part where the NFL is clamoring for slow, inaccurate guys with no pocket presence. Of course, Lee may be thinking.... 2 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm thinking he should look to the CFL draft. Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Tanner Lee has even less shot in the CFL. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 He'd be a pretty good practice squad QB Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I can see Tanner doing well in the NFL, once he gets behind a decent offensive line.. Actually, I'd love to see it happen, more confirmation that this year's O-Line (i.e. CAV) is dreadful. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Defensive lines are a lot better in the NFL. It's sort of a wash. Either he's good under pressure or he's not. Either he's good at reading defenses or he's not. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It's been a pleasure to watch Tanner this year. Best of luck if he does move on, which, if there's a coaching change, might be best. Excited to see what POB/Gebbia might bring. Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 His pocket awareness and feel is badly lacking and he holds the ball too long. He does throw a nice ball but I think those first two are too much to overcome to play in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Aside from the joke earlier in this thread about the Cleveland Browns drafting Tanner Lee... I seriously cannot fathom any team wasting a draft pick on him. Quote Link to comment

If he doesn’t have to worry about the pass rush or difficult coverages, he can stand tall and rocket the ball all over the field. Get him in a real game and he’s very average. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gage County Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I think he's got a lot potential selling life insurance in Destrehan, La. Quote Link to comment
