Moiraine Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Tanner Lee looks great in practice. deja vu 6 Quote Link to comment
Flood Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I think Tanner is drafted in the late rounds. He won't start at first, but he could end up being a surprise in a few years. How many QB's are there that have sort of gone under the radar in the NFL, gone to Canada or Europe and then come back to be superstars? I give him a decent shot at that trajectory and I hope he does at least that well or better. Tanner inherited a tough situation at NU, made the best of it, and exited when that time was up with a new coaching staff. He has a stellar arm and many of the incompletions were on receivers. When you get hit in the chest, right between the numbers, you should catch that ball. Too often our guys did not. Not his fault. Edited January 24, 2018 by Flood 1 Quote Link to comment

I think he'll go late rounds as well 2 Quote Link to comment

Maybe it's more of the same from Tulane and NU, or, maybe it won't be. I look forward to finding out. I think that's where we're going to see a lot of opinions in relation to Tanner Lee i.e. 'give him all the tools and he can be a pretty good player.' The issue is he has performed similarly across multiple years and different universities. He has never proven he can make up for some team deficiencies. I anticipate his ceiling would be as a career backup but there's nothing wrong with that. 3 Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 You really gotta wonder about the QBs taken this year. After day 1, Allen didn't exactly light things on fire. He already has scouts and such questioning his accuracy (he is a 56% passer). Tanner Lee was a turnover machine, but was he really that much different than Darnold? Darnold didn't throw to the other team as much, but he sure can't seem to keep control of the ball. Mayfield might very well be the cream of the crop, but is he even 6'0" tall? If a team is willing to overlook the fact that Allen has accuracy problems, I would assume they would do the same with Lee. I think Lee will be drafted much higher than most NU fans. 2 Quote Link to comment

Don Strock and Dave Humm had pretty lengthy careers as back ups in the NFL and like you said, there is nothing wrong with that. You can make alot of money and save your body quite a bit of wear and tear. Not a bad career choice. Quote Link to comment

And you can even make money while not playing for a team! Jimmy Garoppolo made $79,000 for the Pats making the Super Bowl. He'll get another $112,000 if they win and half that much if they lose. What a life! https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/01/22/jimmy-garoppolo-new-england-patriots-super-bowl-lii-bonus 1 Quote Link to comment
