Was Jamie Dukes out of line on Ryan Mallett?

Well, this is only 2nd hand knowledge I have, but from what I had heard it wasn't smoking some weed at a party. These were serious hard drugs that he allegedly used before and after games.

But that's just rumor so who know really. He's struck me as much smarter than I had thought. If we still had say Gibbs and Saunders here I'd be tempted to take a chance on him. But under this offense, not so much

I guess the "racist" overtone is that Jamie Dukes equates "street" to be being exclusively black.

If Jamie had just called Mallet "street" without the "caucasian" part that would have been fine but since the qualifier of "caucasian" was added, it makes inference that the speaker (jamie) equates "street" with being black.

It basically like me saying "my black attorney friend" instead of just saying "my attorney friend". When you throw in the race qualifier comment, its basically saying this particular person is an exception to my sterotypes of racial beliefs. Its not overt racism, just how alot of people think.

Any person white, black or purple who says they dont see/consider race is lying to themselves imo, people consciously and subconsciously factor in/consider another persons race in every situation, big or small.

Rumors say Mallett liked the nose candy, much different problem than smoking a little weed.

DAMNIT !!!! I was hoping it was just weed, but coke......man that's a bit much. I mess with him though, but coke ? Hopefully he's off it for good, I like the kid and hopefully for his sake he's done with it. Whether it's with the Skins or not.

NFL Draft: Ryan Mallett focused on the future - ESPN

[CultBrennan59]

I'd take Mallet over Locker, Gabbert, Newton, or Dalton.


He definitely has the arm, obviously he doesn't have the legs or a pocket presence as to how to handle pressure. He could be the next Dan Marino or he could be the next Ryan Leaf, obviously two different extremes there, but I wouldn't be surprised in I don't know 3 years or so, that we look back at this draft and say why didn't we draft Mallet?

I'm starting to become a Mallett guy the closer we get to the draft. Look at his numbers at ARKANSAS, remember this was against teams like ALA, UF, LSU and AU.

I dunno, I have a hard time taking QB analysis seriously from a guy who led the Cult of Colt ...

Ryan Mallett one of the best arms I have seen in quite sometime and he's accurate with the football. I would definitely take a chance on this kid.

Ryan Mallett, Arkansas, NFL Draft - DraftCountdown.com

would've made 1st team ALL SEC if it wasn't for Tebow and Newton

[53Fan]

I read an article where Mallett was compared more to Drew Bledsoe than Dan Marino. He has a hell of an arm and a high release, but Marino, even though stiff, could escape pressure at least better than Bledsoe. With the right line this guy could be awesome.....without it...???????
