Write a Scouting Report - on an NFL player

[Auron]

Thought this might be an interesting topic. Write a Pro style scouting report on one of your favorite players. :) Could be on someone from on your favorite team, or just someone you watch a lot.


Here's my scouting report on Drew Brees.

Drew Brees - QB New Orleans Saints
http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/5085/dbreesvt5.png
Height: 6'0 Weight: 209 lbs


Strengths: Natural pocket passer with a very quick release, and precise accuracy. Goes through his reads quickly, has good anticipation and timing with his targets and will usually hit the receiver fresh out of their breaks. Excels tremendously at passing from the 10-20 yard range, gets good touch on short range passes. Has a keen ability for sensing the rush and will sidestep and move around in the pocket while still focusing downfield on his reads. Excellent game manager who rarely makes the game breaking errors in crucial situations, will do his best to avoid the negative plays by checking down, throwing out of bounds, or taking the sack if necessary. Although not really his forte, he can extend plays and escape a collapsed pocket when the play breaks down if needed. Has under rated quickness to scramble for a first down when all else fails.

Weakness: Lacks ideal height, will get some passes batted down at the line occasionally. Does not possess elite arm strength. Although he has enough arm strength to make all the throws in the playbook, he doesn’t have the velocity on the deep sideline type throws thrown outside the hash marks... (deep outs, corners)

Overview: Drew Brees is the orchestrator of talent in the Saints offense, what he lacks in raw physical ability, he makes up with top notch intangibles and smart decision making. He almost always puts the ball in a spot where the receiver can make a play. He is not a vocal, outspoken type leader but rather leads by example, and has command of the huddle. A franchise signal caller who is not quite on the level of a Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady but right on the tier below them.

Wow Drew Brees' scouting report sounds strangley like a certain Heisman winner

[duckseason]

I think this is a cool idea. I'm too lazy to write one up right now though.

Brett Favre QB Green Bay
http://img.interia.pl/sport/nimg/Brett_Favre_mial_bardzo_596265.jpg
6-2 220

Strengths: Despite age, still can throw the deep ball very wall. Has fairly good accuracy. Can still get around in the pocket. Puts great velocity on the ball when needed. Experience has led to good 2 minuete drills. Great at improvising, will turn a busted play into a TD.

Weaknesses: Is the oldest starting QB in the league and it shows in throwig ability which is not comparable to when he won the Super Bowl. Will make horrible decisions to throw into double-triple-quadruple-five man coverage. Deep ball, while still good, is not how it used to be.

Overview: Favre is still a top 15 QB and should get more help from a growing team this year. He can still throw the ball better than anyone and if put in a better situation should have better stats than those of the last two years.

That's rich. No wonder BF51 is perma-pissed at you Packers fans.:rolleyes:

More than likely people will do one on a player on their favorite team, whats wrong with me doing one on Favre?

[Auron]

Nice scouting report Neko. :) I did another one really fast on Rashean Mathis, and like I said in my first post I pretty much expect people to write up their favorite players on their team, because they are probably most familiar watching them.


Rashean Mathis - CB Jacksonville Jaguars
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/3913/rmathis2ro2.png
6'1 - 200 lbs

Strengths: Has amazing ball skills, reacts quickly and gets great breaks on quick passes. (evidenced by his 12 pass deflections this season) Physical, and gets good jams at the line, shows the ability to re-route the receiver in press coverage. Has smooth hip turn and has the recovery speed to survive an occasional misstep.

Weaknesses: At times gets over aggressive going for the big play. Will bite on some pump fakes, and double moves. Needs to improve route recognition against elite route runners. (had some struggles with Marvin Harrison, and Andre Johnson)

Overview: Set a franchise record (8 interceptions) this season. I feel that with his explosive closing burst, and aggressive nature Mathis could be an amazing Cover 2 corner who could terrorize QBs and WRs in the short zones. With a rare blend of size and coverage ability, Mathis has the potential to become a premier lock down Corner in the realm of a Bailey type presence with some refinement in his game.

[Shiver]

Michael Vick, QB, Atlanta Falcons
http://sportsevents.net/events/images/michael_vick_falcons.jpg

6'0" 1/4
206-lbs

Pros: Best athlete to ever play the Quarterback position. Very strong for his size, with a lean high cut frame. Fastest player on the field in any given day. Quick release, and the strongest arm in the NFL right now. Deadly rolling to his left, as a run/pass dual threat. When protected in the pocket, is accurate. Opens up running lanes for his Backs, with the threat of boot action. Main cog in the top rushing offense, three years running. Can singlehandedly take over games at will.

Cons: Lacks ideal height, because of that struggles to read the field inside the pocket. While accurate when protected, his mechanics and footwork disintegrate when he's taken shots, because of that his accuracy is inconsistent. Struggles passing when rolling to his right. His deep ball hangs too long in the air. Lacks top notch anticipation on his throws. Because of his quickness he drops back too quickly, disrupting the timing between him and his receivers.

Overview: Michael Vick is uneven, in regards to consistency, on a game to game basis. When he's on, he produces like an elite QB. Unfortunately he hasn't been "on" nearly enough. He played phenomenally well in 2002, as a passer and runner. Since then, hasn't been able to reattain that level of production. This year will be a make or break year, with Bobby Petrino and Hue Jackson giving him the opportunity to take the helm of the offense. If he reverts to '02 form, it's safe to say the WCO-hybrid set his career back. If not, then everyone will know that Michael Vick never took his game to the next level, like he could have.

[neko4]

I can agree with most of the Vick and Mathis reports

[BlindSite]

Julius Peppers - DE Carolina Panthers
Height: 6'6 Weight: 285 lbs


Strengths: Incredible Natural Athlete, has an unprecedented combination of size and speed. Plays much faster and stronger than work out numbers lead people to believe. Has an excellent repotoire of power and spin moves. Excellent anticipation against the run and that might be the best aspect of his game. Is easily one of, if not, the best player at his position and probably a top 10 player regardless of position.

Weakness: Will sometimes bite on the playfake, can occasionally get too wide around a tackle and get pushed out of the play. At times can be a one trick pony when it comes to pass rushing. Relies heavily on his athleticism.

Overview: Julius Peppers is the diamond in the crown of John Fox's talented defense. His combination of strength and speed for a man his size haven't been seen in the NFL before and likely never will be again. Many people fail to see the difference between his work out numbers and his actual play speed and strength. While not without his weaknesses they're easily overshadowed by what he brings to a team.

[BlindSite]

Thomas Davis - LB - Carolina Panthers
Height: 6'0 Weight: 231 lbs


Strengths: One of the best pure tacklers for his age and experience at the position. Shows perfect technique when blitzing and fighting off blockers. Has an excellent motor and possess top intangibles. Can and has covered some of the best runningbacks and the leagues best running quarterbacks brilliantly. Played like a veteran in only his first year at linebacker. Very fast, very strong, aggressive and motivated. Can double as a safety or at times nickel back.

Weakness: Will sometimes bite on the playfake, can be too aggressive and over pursue his player. Lack of ideal height has lead to him struggling when asked to cover taller receivers and tight ends. Is at times susceptible to the crack back block when expecting a passing play.

Overview: Thomas Davis is already a very solid linebacker playing on the strong side in the Panthers scheme. His speed and ability to move his hands and hips well when engaged has lead to him being a perfect strong side linebacker. From this position he and Julius Peppers have paired up to form an almost impenetrable left side for the defense. A great cover guy who shut down Reggie bush and Michael Vick Twice last year. Has a lot to learn about the position but is already excelling in many aspects.

[remix 6]

Tom Brady
----
Weaknesses: Slow release, slow at picking up defense, EVERYTHING HE DOES IS SLOW

^lol thats what weiss and BB had on him when he came in as a rookie and Brady saw it

Anyways i'll give 1 a shot

Asante Samuel - CB - New England Patriots
Height: 5"10 Weight: 185 lbs

Overall: An up and coming premier corner in the league. He's known for his playmaking ability and all around game on the defense. A type of corner that will make opposing QB's pay. Tremendous upside and will one day be known as a top corner.

Strengths: Exceptional at jumping a route and grabbing a pick. Read the quarterbacks and WRs well, can get physical. Does not allow a WR to catch a ball in redzone if isolated. Big hitter and is always in position to make a play. Worked on hands to get the stats but before this season he always had his hands on ball but dropped. Quick and good speed corner.

Weakness: Sometimes a little too aggresive, although it hasnt happened, can get beat by a double move because of aggresive gambling style. Does not have elite speed(Champ Bailey, Hall) but makes up with instincts and quick feet. Will miss tackles going for a kill shot.

A GB fan doing one on Brett Favre thats unexpected.

whats wrong with that? the thread starter did the same thing, why wouldnt you do your favorite team hes probably seen Favre more than other QB

[bigbluedefense]

Michael Strahan:
http://images.nfl.com/images/2001/strahan_010302.jpg

Strengths: Once saved the world from nuclear disaster by sacking the madman who was about to push the button. He is strong at the point of attack, and can morph into Beast from Xmen at any given moment. Once fit Donovann McNabb in between his teeth during a sack. Unstoppable. Can't be blocked. Is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

Weaknesses: Didn't get a prenup.

Footnotes: An all around talent who will be a sure HOFer. Well rounded athlete that also plays basketball from time to time. Has a tremendous jumpshot.

Brian Urlacher



BEAST!!!!

[draftguru151]

Ronnie Brown RB Miami

http://www.larrymarano.com/images/thumb6.jpg

Positives: Great size/bulk; good speed; runs with great power; very good hands out of the backfield; great blocker for a RB; top notch versatility; good cutting ability; amazing balance; runs with a great pad level; smart player.

Negatives: Not really a break away player; vision isn't great; not gonna juke a lot of people; dances in the backfield; durability is a question.

Overall: Amazingly balanced player with the ability to do everything out of the backfield. Can run, block, catch and even pass if need be. Can line up anywhere on the field, RB, WR, FB, H-B. Hard to find a guy that runs harder. Plays behind a very average run blocking OL and doesn't get the amount of touches he deserves. Managed to put up 1000 yards when he was the only consistent player on the offense and that was with a OC that threw it every time the Dolphins were down in a game. Ready to break out if given the opportunity.

[Hurricane Ditka]

Brett Favre QB Green Bay
http://img.interia.pl/sport/nimg/Brett_Favre_mial_bardzo_596265.jpg
6-2 220

Strengths: Despite age, still can throw the deep ball very wall. Has fairly good accuracy. Can still get around in the pocket. Puts great velocity on the ball when needed. Experience has led to good 2 minuete drills. Great at improvising, will turn a busted play into a TD.

Weaknesses: Is the oldest starting QB in the league and it shows in throwig ability which is not comparable to when he won the Super Bowl. Will make horrible decisions to throw into double-triple-quadruple-five man coverage. Deep ball, while still good, is not how it used to be.

Overview: Favre is still a top 15 QB and should get more help from a growing team this year. He can still throw the ball better than anyone and if put in a better situation should have better stats than those of the last two years.
Poppycock.

[Ravens1991]

Clarence Moore 6'6 220
http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/photo/2004-11/15075247.jpg


Strengths: Head and shoulders above the competition.

Weaknesses:Tallest women ever(see ERU for proof) slow, can't catch, afraid to take a hit.

[scottyboy]

Osi Umenyoria 6'3 261lbs.

Strenghts: Extremly fast, especially for a DE. Young, great motor. Run stopping steadily improving. Excellent pass rusher.

Weakness: While improved, his run D could always improve. Sometimes has trouble bringing down the ball carrier. Had injury problems this year, but aren't reoccuring andshould be fine

Overal: Great upside and really knows how to get the QB. Can fire up the rest of the D.(Ex. called secondary soft during carolina game; next series, dockery had a pick). Still young, but is learning for Strahan. This kid will be a top 5 DE in a few years, and will remain there for years to come

[duckseason]

Demetrius Williams- WR Baltimore Ravens
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/6664/demetriuswilliamsig0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
HT:6-2 WT:197 AGE: 24* HS: De La Salle COLL: Oregon


STRENGTHS: Greatest assets are his his ball skills/leaping ability. Makes the tough catch look easy. Adjusts to the bad pass with surprising ease. Would make your grandma look accurate. He is a play maker who has displayed the ability to create separation on a consistent basis. Looks and plays taller than his listed height. His lean stature allows him to slither through arm tackles like a greased chicken. Shows heart and doesn't play scared. Is a willing blocker. Catches the ball with his hands, not his body. Has good quickness out of his cuts, and his smooth running style makes his speed deceptive. Not a burner, but is known to leave DB's in his wake.
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6746/dwwp2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
see?

WEAKNESSES: Shows some inconsistency at times. Is vulnerable to bigger CB's who can jam him up at the line of scrimmage. Doesn't always realize that he is actually capable of going up for that high pass, sometimes resulting in an interception. Has had trouble with his focus throughout his career, and some might think he has bad hands because of this. Began wearing red contact lenses last season in an effort to remedy the problem. "They make the ball show up a little bit better because it acts like a visor," Williams said. "Even the grass is a lot greener." There have been recent rumblings within the organization about his ability to maintain his great work ethic due to the added strength of his chick magnet. It is the one drawback to his new lenses. Women, (including teammates' wives) have been seen waiting outside the locker room after practices wearing nothing but Williams' jerseys. They refer to him as "black superman." He seems to bask in the adoration, but needs to realize that these very women could possibly be his kryptonite.

http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/2618/dwilliy0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Notes: The Ravens organization seems to be very pleased with the steady progress made over the course of his rookie season. Some think he is ready for a starting role. He has separated himself from Devard Darling and Clarence Moore as the clear-cut #3, and will likely step in for Derrick Mason in the near future. The Ravens boast one of the most promising young WR duos in Mark Clayton and Demetrius Williams. The average observer will begin to wonder why there were a dozen WR's selected before him in the '06 draft. Ravens fans have already realized Ozzie pulled off yet another heist at the draft bank. Browns fans? Well, they've already accepted the fact that Travis Wilson was the wrong pick (again) and that Demetrius never wanted to play in Cleveland anyway.

[Xenos]

I seem to have difficulty posting a picture. Any suggestions. I'm horrible with this url stuff.

Anyway here's my lame attempt at a scouting report:

Quentin Jammer

Strengths: One of the best, if not the best, tackling cornerback in the league. He is a force against the run, something that Shaun Alexander should know about. Very physical and very good at jamming the receivers at the line of scrimmage. He also blankets top receivers very well, and does not get burned very often. Jammer is also a very hard worker who constantly looks for ways to improve his game.

Weaknesses: He does not gamble very much, which means while he will not get burned frequently, he will also never get that rack up those interception. Still has some difficulty locating the ball when it's in the air, and remembering to turn his head. Is not the most athletic cornerback. Many feel that he is a safety playing the corner position.

Overall: Quentin Jammer is one of the most underrated and scorned cornerback in the league. Since the Ty Law Rule, Jammer has taken a step back and has suffered from countless penalties and bad habits, such as the previously mentioned difficulty of not being able to locate the ball or turning his head. In 2005, he was one of the mot targeted cornerbacks in terms of short passes, according to KC Joyner. However, one of best traits--his work ethics--has slowly allowed him to adapt to the new rule change. Despite giving up an ordinate number of short passes in 2005, Jammer also only gave up two touchdowns (one to Buress and another to Chambers). The last 10 games of the 2005 showed what he is capable of as he played against some of the top recievers and shut them down, such as Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens. With a good pass rush and a competent safety behind him, he continued to improve in 2006 as QBs started to show their respect for his coverage skills by avoiding his side. His penalties also dropped down considerably to only about 2 or 3. Jammer still has much to improve, such as working even harder to read the WR route and making more interceptions. But he quietly becoming one of the better cornerbacks in the league.

[neko4]

Poppycock.

Give me 15 guys who are better

[PalmerToCJ]

Carson Palmer QB Cincinnati Bengals
6'5 230

http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/img/palmerz1023.jpg

Strengths
Has prototypical size; great delivery; can throw one of the best deep balls in the league; extremely accurate; natural leader in the huddle/locker room; has "heart" as shown by his recovery from the knee injury.

Weaknesses
At times will force passes; leaves ball vulnerable by pump faking when the pocket collapses on him, leads to fumbles; has had two knee injuries.

Overall
Heisman winner, has potential to rank up there with some of the greats. He has ideal size/mindset that define what a franchise QB should be.

[LionSmack]

Scouting Report

http://www.fightingdobermans.com/images/pacman.jpg

Adam "Pac-Man" Jones - CB, Tennessee Titans

Strengths: Tremendous playmaker - especially in strip clubs. Extensive knowledge and experience with firearms. Very generous with plastic bags full of $20 bills, unless you're a female and you try to actually pick them up off the stage. Very impressive bite-radius-to-height ratio. Displays good left hook when knocking out strippers, but his straight right might be even better.

Weaknesses: Not a good driver after downing 3 bottles of Cristal. Gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time far too often. Relies on his posse too much and sometimes fails to shoot his own victims. Attempts at launching a rap career have been described with the term "tear-inducing hilarity."

Overview: Pac-Man has shown plenty of flashes and still seems on his way to becoming a Pro Bowl level player (and when I say player, I mean Player). But his tendency to beat up strippers and bite cops is beginning to threaten his once-great promise. If he can keep his focus on what matters - partying his a** off until he runs out of money - he could still be great. But if he doesn't correct his technique and straighten out his game, police and the prison system will be the only ones "making it rain" - on his parade.

[Xiomera]

QB Joey Harrington, UFA

http://www.fantasyfootballfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/p1_harrington.jpg

Strengths: An excellent piano player . . . Uncanny ability to earn large sums of money for doing very little productive work . . . Looks impressive projected on the side of a 30 story building in NYC . . . Proficient at carrying a clipboard . . .

Weaknesses: Lacks all the necessary skills to be an effective NFL Quarterback

Overall: Destined to become a Quarterback of a struggling CFL team in the near future

[bigrick0016]

Joe Andruzzi, OG, Browns
http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/graphics/images/5554.r.jpg

Strengths - None
Weaknesses - Cupcakes

**** you Xio!! I wanted to be the first one to make this thread ridiculous.

I beat both of you to the punch....

Michael Strahan:

Strengths: Once saved the world from nuclear disaster by sacking the madman who was about to push the button. He is strong at the point of attack, and can morph into Beast from Xmen at any given moment. Once fit Donovann McNabb in between his teeth during a sack. Unstoppable. Can't be blocked.

Footnotes: An all around talent who will be a sure HOFer. Well rounded athlete that also plays basketball from time to time. Has a tremendous jumpshot.

[Forenci]

Eli Manning - QB - New York Giants:

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s306/CloudElf/NYGEliStep.jpg

Strengths: Has all the physical attributes you want in a franchise quarterback standing at over 6'4. Shows exceptional arm strength, perhaps better than his older brother, Peyton Manning. Throwing the ball deep accurately is one of his biggest strengths as a quarterback. Has already mastered one of the hardest aspects of a quarterback, being able to lead his team from behind to a win. Particularly well at doing the previously stated in the fourth quarter, when he's under constant mental pressure. Can throw quite well on the run, even when rolling out to his left. Sells the play action well. Eli is a sneaky athelete, who can often elude the pass rush long enough to find the open receiver - but will generally not try to pick up the first down rushing if no one is open. Tends to spread the ball around to different receivers.

Weaknesses: Biggest knock is his break down in mechanics, often throwing off his back foot when he feels any pressure near him. Bad mechanics will often lead to inaccurate passes and interceptions. Many times will force a play instead of throwing it away or taking a sack. Every now and then will over throw is receiver or put it above him where he can't catch it. Does not posess any real leadership ability except in 4th quarter come back situations. Tends to need taller receivers to catch the footballs he throws too high for most receivers. Very inconsistent in the second half of the season.

Overview: Eli Manning suffers from his big brothers fame. Many expect him to live up to the expectations of his Hall of Fame caliber big brother Peyton Manning, but has not done so yet. Eli Manning has the potential to surpass his brother by winning several more Super Bowls, but it will likely depend on him overcoming some of his fixable bad mechanics problems and his lack of leadership. Some of his mechanic problems could be linked to the fact he makes his offensive line look a lot better than it is, by throwing off his back foot so often due to pressure. If he is given a chance and perhaps a good quarterbacks coach, he could end up being one of the premire quarterbacks in the league.

You seriously just opened pandora's box....

[Forenci]

You seriously just opened pandora's box....

Meh, it's just my opinion. I'm fine if anyone completely disagrees with my opinion of Eli. Bring on the onslaught!

[Philliez01]

I'd do a scouting report on Peyton Manning but it's too easy.

Dwight Freeney
DE
6-1, 268

http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041225/images/freeney.jpg

Strengths:

A premier pass-rushing DE who will tend to have a high amount of sacks, year in and year out. . . .Excellent quickness on the rush. . . .Arsenal of moves (including a spin) that will make it harder for opposing OTs to guard him. . . .Disruptive in the backfield. . . .While not the biggest guy, he's a strong player that can bullrush. . . .Good character. . . .Good motor

Weaknesses:

Due to his prowess against the pass, he sometimes is assigned to take the long way to the QB at times which tends to allow big run plays. . . .His lack of size will help him against taller LTs but will leave him susceptible to injuries. . . .Plays through the pain, but gets plenty of pain anyway.

Final Notes:
Gets plenty of double coverage which sometimes deflate his statistics at times. Freeney usually has come up in some pretty big moments that swung momentum in the team's favor.

[bigbluedefense]

Meh, it's just my opinion. I'm fine if anyone completely disagrees with my opinion of Eli. Bring on the onslaught!

Ok, just be ready to bring it!

I know you didn't say he is better then his brother.....hes the biggest bust ever.

Larry Johnson

http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5118/ljwx0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Strengths: One of the most physical and tough running backs in all of the NFL plays hurt pretty strong player and very hard to bring down. He stands at just over six feet tall and weighs 230 pounds but he is more then just a power back has good speed for his size and can stop and go with the best of them. He is the kinda player that always wants the ball never seems to run out of gas gets better as the game goes on.

Weakness: Is not a very good blocker and does not have great hands needs to work on both of those parts of his game. He is not the best locker room guy and has been known to speak his mind and doesn't really care how he comes across to fans and the media. He doesn't always hang on to the ball quite like he should so he fumbles from time to time with out it being forced out.

Overview: He has the potential to be one of the best RB's of his day if the Chiefs or some other team don't over use him like they have so far. If he works on his blocking and hands will stay as one of the top RB for at least four or five more years. He wants to go down as one of the best ever and in the right system and players around him he could do just that.

Some pretty good reports so far. Got back from work, I did a scouting report on Marques Colston in my spare time.

Marques Colston - WR New Orleans Saints
http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/4197/mcolston3yv9.png
Height: 6'4 Weight: 230 lbs

Strengths: Natural pass catcher with reliable hands. Excellent at adjusting his body to grab a pass out of reach. Uses his big frame to shield Defenders from the ball, and out muscle DBs. Surprisingly elusive for his size can elude and slip Defenders that seem to have him wrapped up. Has great instincts and plays with a veteran savvy. Excels at working the short underneath portion of the field, adept at finding holes and creases in zone Defenses. Will go across the middle.

Weaknesses: Not a real burner, more of a long strider. Does not have elite timed speed. Can be more aggressive with contact after the catch. Can improve in the run blocking department.

Overview: Surprisingly stepped in and was a major contributor on the Saints as a rookie selected in the 7th round, despite being young he carries himself like a veteran. Has a rare combination of physical abilities with size, agility, and quickness. Is an excellent possession receiver and chains mover,(51 out of 70 of his receptions went for 1st downs) and red-zone threat (8 tds). Has potential to become an elite WR with more experience.

[Splat]

Mine kinda sucked I'm no scout but I wanted to give it a try.

Scouting Report

http://www.fightingdobermans.com/images/pacman.jpg

Adam "Pac-Man" Jones - CB, Tennessee Titans

Strengths: Tremendous playmaker - especially in strip clubs. Extensive knowledge and experience with firearms. Very generous with plastic bags full of $20 bills, unless you're a female and you try to actually pick them up off the stage. Very impressive bite-radius-to-height ratio. Displays good left hook when knocking out strippers, but his straight right might be even better.

Weaknesses: Not a good driver after downing 3 bottles of Cristal. Gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time far too often. Relies on his posse too much and sometimes fails to shoot his own victims. Attempts at launching a rap career have been described with the term "tear-inducing hilarity."

Overview: Pac-Man has shown plenty of flashes and still seems on his way to becoming a Pro Bowl level player (and when I say player, I mean Player). But his tendency to beat up strippers and bite cops is beginning to threaten his once-great promise. If he can keep his focus on what matters - partying his a** off until he runs out of money - he could still be great. But if he doesn't correct his technique and straighten out his game, police and the prison system will be the only ones "making it rain" - on his parade.

This is incredible, please post again. Best one I've seen yet.

Brett Favre QB Green Bay
http://img.interia.pl/sport/nimg/Brett_Favre_mial_bardzo_596265.jpg
6-2 220

Strengths: Despite age, still can throw the deep ball very wall. Has fairly good accuracy. Can still get around in the pocket. Puts great velocity on the ball when needed. Experience has led to good 2 minuete drills. Great at improvising, will turn a busted play into a TD.

Weaknesses: Is the oldest starting QB in the league and it shows in throwig ability which is not comparable to when he won the Super Bowl. Will make horrible decisions to throw into double-triple-quadruple-five man coverage. Deep ball, while still good, is not how it used to be.

Overview: Favre is still a top 15 QB and should get more help from a growing team this year. He can still throw the ball better than anyone and if put in a better situation should have better stats than those of the last two years.

One of Brett's strengths is his massive hands and his abilitiy to hold on to it when it gets cold

Eli Manning - QB - New York Giants:

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s306/CloudElf/NYGEliStep.jpg

Strengths: Has all the physical attributes you want in a franchise quarterback standing at over 6'4. Shows exceptional arm strength, perhaps better than his older brother, Peyton Manning. Throwing the ball deep accurately is one of his biggest strengths as a quarterback. Has already mastered one of the hardest aspects of a quarterback, being able to lead his team from behind to a win. Particularly well at doing the previously stated in the fourth quarter, when he's under constant mental pressure. Can throw quite well on the run, even when rolling out to his left. Sells the play action well. Eli is a sneaky athelete, who can often elude the pass rush long enough to find the open receiver - but will generally not try to pick up the first down rushing if no one is open. Tends to spread the ball around to different receivers.

Weaknesses: Biggest knock is his break down in mechanics, often throwing off his back foot when he feels any pressure near him. Bad mechanics will often lead to inaccurate passes and interceptions. Many times will force a play instead of throwing it away or taking a sack. Every now and then will over throw is receiver or put it above him where he can't catch it. Does not posess any real leadership ability except in 4th quarter come back situations. Tends to need taller receivers to catch the footballs he throws too high for most receivers. Very inconsistent in the second half of the season.

Overview: Eli Manning suffers from his big brothers fame. Many expect him to live up to the expectations of his Hall of Fame caliber big brother Peyton Manning, but has not done so yet. Eli Manning has the potential to surpass his brother by winning several more Super Bowls, but it will likely depend on him overcoming some of his fixable bad mechanics problems and his lack of leadership. Some of his mechanic problems could be linked to the fact he makes his offensive line look a lot better than it is, by throwing off his back foot so often due to pressure. If he is given a chance and perhaps a good quarterbacks coach, he could end up being one of the premire quarterbacks in the league.


A. Does Eli give reach arounds?
B. NO ONE expected him to be like his brother, thats just a CO OUT of why he sucks. And with that he has no chance of being even in the same sentence as his brother.
C. He is a straight up Vag.


WHAT A HOMOR

[yourfavestoner]

Fred Taylor - RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
http://www.gatorzone.com/insidefootball/images/legacy/nfl/taylor_fred.jpg
Height: 6'2" Weight: 228 lbs

Strengths: Biggest asset is his amazing fluidity and agility. Has a trademark "hopstep" that makes it very difficult for defenders to get their hands on him. Incredible athlete in his prime, with one of the best size:speed:agility ratios in the league. Has excellent vision for the cutback and breakaway speed. Jim Brown once called him the best pure runner in the NFL.

Weaknesses: Despite his size, he has never been known for being a power runner. Drops easy passes out of the backfield. Tends to dance in the backfield instead of hitting the hole, especially when he feels pressured by defenses, making him useless in goal line and short yardage situations. Injuries have plagued him throughout his career, although many say it's because he's too big, strong, and fast of an athlete for his body to handle. Has never been a "cowbell" back, and has only carried the ball over 300 times in a season once.

Overview: One of the most underappreciated runningbacks in the NFL throughout his career, and has never made a Pro Bowl. I cannot stress how elite Taylor's athleticism is, and you can't have an appreciation for it unless you've seen him play.

Demarcus Ware

Weaknesses: Is a distraction to the team. Doesnt try every play. Somtimes jogs routes. Hands Can be question able.

Overview: Was a great player in his early years with the Vikings. Has dropped off his play after his first year with Oakland. Was on pace to beat some of Rices records before he got traded.

[TNewFan41]

Terence Newman:

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/733/terencenewman2zc7.jpg

Strengths: One of the fastest and quickest players in the league. Has great leaping ability, so getting a jump ball over him is close to impossible, just ask Plaxico Burres. Blankets the WR better than any CB in the league. Has solid hands for a CB. He is great in man-to-man as well as zone coverage. Is also a great punt returner. Although not the best tackler, when he does rap you up, its over, ask Reggie Bush. Uses great technique.

Weaknesses: Like I stated before, not the best tackler. He often puts his head down and just tries to have the ball carrier trip over it. Although he is a playmaker, without that many passes thrown his way, he doesn't get a lot of INTs, so INT production is not that great, although it is overrated. Gets a pass interference penalty every now and then. Sometimes bites on fakes he shouldn't.

Overview: Newman is a great all around CB who has few holes in his game. He does make mistakes on play fakes and head fakes every now and then, but not very often. Is sometimes overlooked because he doesn't have a lot of INTs, but he is an elite CB. SHould have been to 2 pro-bowls, yet he has none because he doesn't have that many INTs, while Jokes like DeAngelo Hall and Walt Harris get in because of INT numbers. Oh well, what can you do? Hopefully this year he will get the recognition he deserves.

nailed that scouting report

[Forenci]

I know you didn't say he is better then his brother.....hes the biggest bust ever.

I knew it would be misinterpted. What I said is, he could potentially win more Super Bowls than his brother. There is no way Eli Manning will EVER be up to his brothers Hall of Fame caliber play.

Also, I'd like to say, he's not a bust, unless I wouldn't consider Eli the worst bust in history being 11th total Passing Yards with 3,244. Also, he had 24 TD's. While he did have 18 interceptions, there were several QB's who threw more that would be considered better than him.

[KBear]

But people gave him so much hype, and now look at him. BUST

I think I'm one of the few non-Giants Eli Manning supporters on here but to label him a BUST is a bit unfair. While you can say what you want about the NFC, the Giants were still in the playoffs for the past two seasons. Sure, he had the hype with the addendum of the namesake but I do not think he's a bust. It is unfair to compare all 4 first-round QBs from that draft class but I think some of Eli's struggles this season stemmed from injuries on the offense. He spent most of the year without his #2 WR in Toomer and Shockey was slowed by ankle injuries throughout the season. I think Eli will be a good QB, not a Hall of Famer or an annual Pro-Bowler but someone who will eventually get the job done.

Yeah but he still had most his weapons and couldn't get the job done. Tiki (screens) burress, shockey for most of the season. He doesn't do good with pressure.

BRIAN WESTBROOK

Strengths
*Has Amazing Speed
*Is very nifty
*Hits the hole with authority
*Great hands out of the backfield
*Shows signs of work ethic
*Has patience on and off the field
*Doesn't mind being seldom used when he shouldn't

Weaknesses
*Doesnt have idle size for an RB
*Came out of a bad CFB program at 'Nova
*We dont know if he can handle 22+ carries on average

Overview
If you ask me this guy is our next Marshall Faulk, just used less in the run game. He is a home run type player and can never be slept on coming out of the backfield whether he's running, or receiving. Put a linebacker on him, and he LB with end up sneezing after they're left dusted.

[HoopsDemon12]

You could take into consideration how much the giants actually lost trading up for him Eli though...they would have been better off wiht rivers i think, i thought he was the better prospect coming out that year anyway. He sure hasnt lived up to the hype or his name...but personally im not ready to call him a bust until he under peforms Losman....then your a bust

[Athrun340]

Tom Brady

Weaknesses: Slow release, slow at picking up defense, EVERYTHING HE DOES IS SLOW

^lol thats what weiss and BB had on him when he came in as a rookie and Brady saw it

What's wrong with Losman? He had a pretty decent year last year and was ranked number 11 overall in passer rating. He's beginning to become a very serviceable quarterback and could become good to very good in a couple years.

[remix 6]

haha lol that was funny

heres more

It is lucky Brady was drafted at all. A scouting report written before the draft sized up Brady this way: "Poor build, very skinny and narrow, lacks mobility and the ability to avoid the rush, lacks a really strong arm."

It was a rare diversion for Brady, who spends the off-season in Boston and goes to work 10 months a year. He has added 25 pounds of muscle to his frame since joining the NFL and strengthened his arm.

“The farthest you probably ever throw in a game is 50 to 55 yards,” says Brady. "I mean, I could throw it probably 70, if I really get into one."


i love this:
"I was leaving late one night, and this tall skinny kid approached me holding a pizza box. I said, "I know who you are; you're Tom Brady, sixth-round pick from Michigan," and he replied, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' I was stunned. The amazing thing is he didn't say it to be arrogant...he was sincere...I went home and told everyone about it." - Bob Kraft

It's too early for me to decide whether Rivers would've been better in NY, Eli wasn't going to play for SD though so I don't think it's really debateable.

Losman is an unfair comparision as well, if you want to look at it from the opposite side. Losman is starting to come around as a good starting QB but he was more of a project coming out of college than Eli was. You have to compare Eli to Philip, I would assume. Ben Roethlisberger as well, but I think Eli can be better than him. Right now, Ben wins off the SB ring and experience but all four QBs can be good-to-great starters.

[BlindSite]

But people gave him so much hype, and now look at him. BUST

How can you say he's a bust when he's only just finished his third year...

The fact is the guy's got no offensive line and an abhorrible defense. The poor kid is always playing from behind with no protection. He's got a lot of potential, that scouting report was accurate, he needs protection and he needs to be tutored into not losing his mechanics at pivotal times.

People hate this kid so much just because he wouldn't go to san diego, he made a mistake, he was a young kid and didn't get the guidance he should've from the people around him. Give him a break, and give him a chance to develop.

Maurice Drew

Strengths: Overall greatness. The lovechild of Aphrodite and Hercules (long story), so he's got good genes. Once threw a football over them mountains and caught it, thereby making more money than Uncle Rico did in five seconds. A renowned horse assassin, particularly of the Colt type. His hands are so good, Ticky-tack is said to be secreted from his hands, providing another good source of money. Godzilla ain't got poop on him.

Weakness: Friend of Keak Da Sneak.

Comments: May also be heir to the throne of the Roman Empire, as well as King of Athens (unconfirmed). Was to be the original Clark Kent, but they felt sympathetic for the guy in the wheelchair. Clairvoyant pricks.

[dcarey20]

http://web1.denverbroncos.com/resources/custom/Images/2006%20Draft/davis_vernon_AP.jpg

Name: Vernon Davis
Nickname: The Duke
Age: 23
Position: Tight End
Team: San Francisco 49ers
Draft: Round 1, Pick 6
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 253
College: Maryland
Number: 85
Expierience: 1 year, 8 games started

Positives: Incredible athletic ability...One of the most athletic tight ends I've ever seen...Amazing speed...Outstanding strength and power...Does not go down after first contact...Great Leaper...Playmaker

Negatives: Does not have the ideal height for a tight end...Normally has reliable hands but at times he has lapses of concentration and drops some easy ones.

Overview: One of my favorite players and one of the most athletically gifted players I've seen. A Maryland legend. There's no doubt that he has all the ability and he will be one of the best tight ends in the game for years to come. He really showed what he is capable of late in the season, once he was healthy. Vernon will be the primary target for Alex Smith next year, and with the lack of depth at TE in the NFC, I think he will have a great year and be a pro bowler.

[dcarey20]

The Ravens boast one of the most promising young WR duos in Mark Clayton and Demetrius Williams. The average observer will begin to wonder why there were a dozen WR's selected before him in the '06 draft. Ravens fans have already realized Ozzie pulled off yet another heist at the draft bank. Browns fans? Well, they've already accepted the fact that Travis Wilson was the wrong pick (again) and that Demetrius never wanted to play in Cleveland anyway.

Oh yeah forgot to say I love this post. And I love Demetrius Williams.

[d34ng3l021]

DeAngelo Hall
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 197
College: Virginia Tech

Pros
Exceptional athlete. Has great burst and top end speed and has very fluid hips. Makes up for his lack of height with tremendous jumping ability. Has very good ball skills and is explosive with the ball in his hands. Does a great job locating the ball in the air. One of the best corners in man to man situations.

Cons
Though he tries very hard against the run, there are times he misses the tackle or is shrugged off. He often goes for the pick instead of just batting the ball down. Seems to be very inconsistent. Struggles in zone coverage at times.

Overview
DeAngelo is a great athlete and physically has whatever you ask for in a corner. He has a great deal of confidence and he feels as if he can go 1-1 with any reciever in the league. Though some may say his confidence is over the top, he needs it for the mental battle between he and the opposing WR.

Whoa. So I was looking for a pic of D Hall, and I came upon an actual scouting report of him.

Assets:
Possesses incomparable speed and has been clocked in the 4.2 range. Has phenomenal quickness, closing speed, and agility. Plays off his man and can jump routes. A fluid runner with great man coverage skills. Has some upper body strength, can jam receivers, and can shed a block. Played some wide receiver and scored on fumble recoveries, receptions, running plays, and punt returns last year. Has an extra gear and great instincts with the ball in his hands.

Flaws:
An ordinary zone defender who uses his speed to compensate for bad decisions. Will take false steps and has sloppy footwork. Hasn't worked on getting proper body position and has gotten used to solving all of his problems with just his speed. Gambles and guesses wrong. Not a tough-guy defender who provides great run support. Brash and arrogant at times.

Man, I'm good.

Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams,Running Back
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 231lbs

Strengths: Very tough runner and very versatile runner for his size, has the power to run between the tackles where his running is best and has the agility to cut to the outside and run outside the tackles, good receiver out of the backfield, great goaline runner, good vision and good football IQ.

Weaknesses: Doesn't have explosive speed and acceleration, doesn't have great top end speed, inconsistent blocker, sometimes looks for the touchdown rather than the first down when its needed, runs to high at times rather than running behind pads.

Overview: Steven Jackson is a Top Running Back in the NFL, arguably the best Running Back in the NFC, he is only 23 years old and has already been in the league for 4 seasons. Made first Pro Bowl appearance in 2006 as a backup.

Fabian Washington
Number 27
5´11´´
185
2 years of NFL experience. 30 games played total.

Strengths: Amazingly fast... terrific catch up speed... good hands... very good jumping ability... very strong for his size... still has a huge updside...doesnt get beat on the deep ball easily... knows how to step up front and pick off a pass.

Weaknesses: Beat on double moves and short slants... Needs to learn how to get in better position to make plays...Lack of experience hurts him some times.

Notes: Fabian Washington has the talent to become a top-10 corner in this league, and I believe he has more talent than what Asomugha has. Not many wide outs gave him trouble last year, the only one that really had a stand-out game was T.J Houshmansadez. With experience and appropiate teaching, teams will be scared to throw the football to his side.

[LarryJohnson27]

Derrick Johnson #56, OLB, Kansas City Chiefs
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 242 lbs.

Strengths: Excellent athlete with good height. Very good in coverage, and a solid tackler. Will come up and make the big hit. Sniffs out screens well and seems to always be there to make the play. Effective blitzer that can get to the QB. Has a huge amount of potential.

Weaknesses: Could use some added strength and has a hard time getting off of blocks at times. Hasn't really displayed his big play ability yet.

Overview: Was one of the best LB prospects to come out of college in years. Has an amazing amount of potential and plays in the Tampa 2 sheme that he fits perfectly. Played very well at the start of 2006, but a mid season ankle injury caused him to miss a couple games and play through pain the rest of the season. Still needs to show his big play making ability that he had in college (hasn't got his first NFL INT yet). Well on his way to being one of the NFL's top LB's.

[ninerfan]

Alex Smith, QB, SF 49ers
3rd year
pick 1 2005
http://www.49ers.com/photos/thumbs/16-asmithoak.jpg

Strengths: Ideal height 6'4 with athletic physique, 22 year old with 2 years starting experience, intelligent student of the game, coachable - willing to listen and learn, hard worker in weight room and classroom, team 1st work ethic, mobile QB, rolls out and throws well on the run, accurate short / mid range

Weaknesses: Lacks elite arm strength (though adequate), thrown to wolves in rookie season and suffered, QB's NFL's worst recieving core, tends to lock onto primary reciever - will force throws, facing 3rd Offensive Co-Ordinator in 3 years (lack of stability), often forced to lead team from behind, faces added scrutiny of being no.1 pick

Overall: After horrendous rookie campaign bounced back well in 2006, Smith requires continuity at the Offense Co-Ordinator position for stability. He is just beginning to reap benefits of previous draft choices - Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. Has the potential to be a top 10 QB in this league - much in the vein of Troy Aikman. Willing worker who will shed the limelight - a team man - dont not expect Manning type numbers. A game contoller more than playmaker will manage games in the style of Aikman. At 22 years old has a long career ahead with a team being built around his needs - expect success.

[PACKmanN]

nothing wrong with it.But Ive never met a Packer fan whos favorite player isnt Favre.

i guess im ur frist huh? I hate it when he throws the deep balls trying to win the game when there still alot of time left in the game. ( Good example is when we faced the Vikings the second time and he threw an INT to Griffn i think. )
