Dylan Raiola Enters Portal

[bacane]

I call him a younger , less reckless Beck. When I say that I’m not just talking on the field . I see similarities to Beck off field . Same type of narratives.

Backstory off the field is a level above Beck. Staff would have to do their homework.

I like Urban Meyers views of QBs.

Ohio State's recruiting philosophy, and the quarterback flaw Urban Meyer is willing to live with

J.T. Barrett and Joe Burrow came to Ohio State with arm strength questions, but that's something Ohio State is OK with scouting quarterbacks.

Interesting he was talking about Burrow in 2016 when he was a nobody. Of all the QBs in the portal, who has the most competitive nature? Which one makes the most plays when the defense has him dead to rights? Cam Ward is a great example of a guy who fought for every yard and was a great improvisor. Putting aside arm talent, mobility, etc- I would be interested in finding out which QB in the portal has the most success on broken plays.

Nico.

The 6 schools in 7 years thing reminds me of Jake Garcia.

Looked heavy this year. Have him lose 15lbs and work with a speed coach. Want to avoid another Kayaa cement feet situation.

He has injury and his dad was oline right, he probably add 15 more likely? lol

Using this logic we shouldnt have taken Ward......WSU was 5-7 in 2023

I even corrected it 7-3 with him playing

Confused…when did Jake throw for 72 % 18 TDs and 6 picks?

27% 6 fumbles 18 picks

More elusive in the pocket than I originally thought. The off balance/off platform throws and the arm angles are nice. He moves the pocket to create throwing lanes. Beck doesn't do any of those things well.

He's truthfully... a lot like Cam Ward. Maybe even more accurate and just a little less elusive.

 

[PIPO]

Telling you bro. This is the one. He is exactly the kind of kid you pair with our talent here. Yes, everyone would love to have Lamar Jackson. That kid doesn't exactly fall off trees. You have this kid really focus on his S&C (he's a little heavy for me, IMO. Dropping 10 pounds would do wonders for him) and you put him behind this line and say "Win Malachi Toney the Heisman Trophy". He can REALLY throw the football. He's more mobile than Beck (not saying much, obviously, and again he's not mobile but he's not Brad Kaaya either). I think this kid comes here next year and completes 70% of his passes in his sleep.

The 6 schools in 7 years is eyebrow raising. The emulation of Mahomes is kinda weird. But this kid is a very good quarterback. He's an NFL quarterback. You don't need to overcomplicate this. He's not even 21 years old yet. Carson Beck is 23. Ward was 22 last year. He's already plenty good, and is only going to get better with good coaching when he has a month to throw a football.

Some of you are acting like he ate a baby. Kid likes Pat Mahomes. He's what 19 years old?

Name a qb in the last 10, 20 years you have seen this type of thing from?

in football it isnt typical....basketball is different

More like Zion Mahomes.

Confused. Where did I equate Garcia’s play to Raiola’s? I made a comment about Raiola jumping from school to school which was similar to Jake. What part of that is confusing to you?

Malik Cunningham...

New market efficiency if you sign all of the portal QBs than there is no one for everyone else to sign.

plus last 8 years a portal qb has won heisman and Championship game. We've cracked the code!

 

[NicKane]

Raiola has ability and is polished. My biggest concern with him is this:

That and the Mahomes Obsession. Those are my two biggest concerns. If he’s grown-up and realizes it’s better to be yourself, then I’m good with him. But he hast to leave that Mahomes crap in the past because he isn’t him.

Never seen it before in my life. It’s beyond weird, although you are right about basketball. Kobe basically adopted every Jordan mannerism.

 

[ssvir]

On the field ability? No doubt

The off the field **** is weird, but if the staff signed off on him, I have no doubts he’d put up numbers here.

Have you seen the Fern Mendoza post game interviews? Not sure anyone can be more cringy than that and he won the Heisman

 

[ssvir]

Maybe we get him for $2.5M and spend $1.5M each on Dylan Stewart and Colin Simmons.
