CJ's NFL Draft profile....

Amazing all the love CJ is getting what happened to all the fans that thought JR was better ? You know those same " becareful what you wish for fans ". Now they're all loving them some CJ...LOL
 
I hope King looks at the last early out, Amari Spivey, and stays in school.

Stanzi never got rattled, that was his real strength. IMHO he was better as a jr when flushed out of the pocket. His senior year his numbers improved, but didn't have the same magic.
 
Will his size hurt him much? Idk enough about what scouts want in QB's, but most of the elite guys are 6'4+, with the exception of Brees.


Are you forgetting about Aaron Rogers? I don't think 6'4 is as important as mobility/arm strength/Accuracy. Beathard really throws accurately on his deep balls.
 
CJB will be a first rounder next year. He has "it" IMO

-He has as strong of an arm as anyone at any level.

-He can make all the throws but admittedly needs a bit of work on long ball touch. I think he has the ability, just hasn't found it yet.

-When it comes to making certain throws, he is a lot like Favre in that he can throw at weird angles and off balance and get rid of it quick. that is hard to teach and is a huge asset at the next level.

-He is very mobile and athletic and has good pocket awareness.

-He comes from the Iowa system as a FB player. That carries a lot of weight these days even at the QB position despite Iowa not churning out that many NFL QB's. Yet if he sticks in the NFL, 2 of the last 3 will have.

That willingness to work and put in the time and not be a character risk is huge. Add in that he is pretty unflappable and I like his chances.

Watching all these games the past 4 or 5 weeks, I've yet to see a QB with more tools. Even Cook doesn't look as good IMO

1st Rounder after this year? Comes from the Iowa system as a FB player? Better than Cook? OMG......

CJB looks great but he has started 5 games in his career and hasn't faced anyone. Let's see how he does this weekend before we start calling for an early draft entry, let alone a 1st round pick.

There's the NegaHawk.

I said after next year dumb ass . Never said early entry. You dip shuts hear what you want to hear. JFC

I said he has looked better than Cook and he has.

I said he has the tools. He does.

Talk to any NFL coach or GM and see what they say about Iowa football players. Bill Belichick for example.

It does t matter what happens this weekend. CJ has shown he has the tools. Sure it doesn't guarantee he is a first rounder But he certainly has the tools.

. That was my opinion. Deal with it.

You are the "meltdown" guy. I haven't seen you post anything the last few weeks but I can promise if Iowa loses saturday you will be the first one in here pounding your chest.

You must lead a very sad existence

Barrington asked Bobby Beathard to put on the NFL GM hat and evaluate CJB: “I would say right now he’s a heckuva prospect for the next level. He’s a smart kid. Spends a lot of time studying the game. Since our whole family has been involved in football, he’s kind of naturally gravitated toward it. He’s a great athlete and I think he’s a definite prospect, but he’s got a job to finish here.”
 
I assume most people here do not have professional scouting experience. I know I don't. However, with that said, if you were a professional scout, what would be your "knock" on CJ? He has tremendous arm-strength - the strongest I've seen at Iowa (I am not old enough to have watched Iowa during the 80's and most of the 90's, so I'm only talking about Ferentz-led teams). His arm is accurate and he throws a nice deep ball (maybe not as good as Stanzi's, but CJ still has nice touch). He is mobile and can create time in the pocket. He never looks flustered. He makes good decisions with the ball. His size isn't "great" but I don't think being 6' 2" will be a hindrance either.

I really can't think of any serious knock on CJ that would downgrade his draft stock. Every other QB under Ferentz has had some obvious flaws: Banks lacked size and arm strength; Chandler lacked an accurate arm and quick decision-making (his completion percentage was not good); Tate lacked size, didn't have great arm strength, and at times made questionable decisions; Christensen, no explanation needed; Stanzi was light on arm strength, and also made questionable decisions; Vandenberg actually had nice arm strength, but he had a terrible senior season and fell off the map; Rudock obviously lacked arm strength.

I think his deep throws are just as good as Stanzis, if not a bit better because of his superior arm strength. He of course though doesn't have DJK, McNutt, or Moeaki to throw to though. CJ is a complete package that will only get better with experience.
 
Too short
too slow
will be exposed when chicken hawks finally play a game against a decent team.
He's the same size as Aaron Rodgers. Taller than Drew Brees and Russell Wilson (among others). He's not slow, I enjoy chicken. You lose, good day sir.
