icehole3 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 http://footballsfuture.com/2010/seniorbowl/tuesdaynorth.htmlAt quarterback, this side really has no stars to attract fans like Tim Tebow. Though it’s much too soon to make an official statement, it looks like Tony Pike is separating himself from the pack and will be the starter for Saturday’s game. As I noticed yesterday, he has the best arm of the crew here, putting good zip on intermediate throws and outward-breaking routes. He showed a good command of the offense, throwing with good rhythm and completing a number of passes downfield. Behind him is Dan LeFevour, who sometimes struggles to drive the football on the longer passes to the sideline. He wasn’t quite as consistent today as he typically is, but has the best chance of unseating Pike as the team’s best. Sean Canfield showed poor arm strength and inconsistent mechanics, chucking the ball all over the field, missing wide open receivers. Looking to build off a great end to his senior season, Canfield has done nothing in the first two days to solidify himself as anything more than an undrafted free agent. In Monday’s recap, I wrote that Mardy Gilyard would need to turn his week around to impress as many thought he could. On Tuesday’s early practice, he did just that, impressing on a number of occasions. Blessed with quick feet, he ran precise routes and consistently broke free from defenders, making plays in the process. In one battle against Syd’Quan Thompson, a player that has impressed some this week, he shook off press coverage at the line and beat him for six. I did see him drop a few balls on the ground again today, which is something he needs to correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'd really love to see Pike do well. Other than his injury problems, I'd think he's one of the more NFL-ready qbs in the draft since he's such a strong pocket passer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridge Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Gilyard is an exciting player with a good backstory, but having seen him play many times I have doubts about his NFL future. He's scrawny,short and has questionable hands. I don't get the hype at all. Pike, on the other hand, has great tools but no hype. What's up with that?

Pidge Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Pike is the best QB in the draft. Bit scrawny/prone to injury maybe but he can make all the throws, great mechanics and very mobile for a guy of his size. He won't just stand like a dazed hippo in the pocket if things go pear shaped. Of course, he'll be the 3rd or 4th QB taken for some ridiculous made up reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Five catches for 102 yards for Mardy. He could have easily won MVP today./>http://bleacherreport.com/articles/336393-2010-senior-bowl-aftermath-draft-status-winners-and-losers/>http://www.nfl.com/seniorbowl/story?id=09000d5d81616573&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=trueVideo highlights:/>http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-senior-bowl/09000d5d816168d1/Senior-Bowl-highlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidge Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Pats eying Pike as backup to Brady...http://beforeitsnews..._Insurance.htmlDon't disbelieve it. Good, sensible move and when Brady is kicked to the curb in a couple of yrs, they'll have a QB to come in and hardly miss a beat. Decent chance of him lasting to #44 and they have a few mid rnd picks to play around with if they need to move up a few spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
