Pat White

[Eagles4Life]

First off, I'm not defending him in any way shape or form.

I just want to know why no one has him in the first or second round in their mock drafts. Is it basically the same reason's as Tebow?

[PuppyPuncher]

I like using Pat White as a counter-argument as Tim Tebow, but other than that he's a crap QB.

[Eagles4Life]

So there's no chance he could be a Michael Vick type and go early?

4% Chance

[Eagles4Life]

Ah, ok. I've been playing a lot of ncaa and everybody whores west virginia. The White/Devine option is unstoppable. White has a speed of like 97 so I though that he must be pretty good.

Of course, Tebow has a 99 in pretty much everything.

I've seen Pat White listed as a 2nd round prospect in terms of a receiver and I'm not buying it.

He will be just as good in the NFL as Seneca Wallace or play WR like a Brad Smith.

Spread Offense ruins most quarterbacks. White may fall into that hole.

Shouldn't these individual player threads be in the scouting section?

I didn't know there was a scouting section. My bad.

[PuppyPuncher]

No, I think it can stay here. We're not really scouting. We're just discussing the player.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I see Pat White in the 4-5th round as a utility man.

[packman_jon]

Unless someone actually will run the zone-read, the odds are against him making it in the NFL...

[supremeworldemperor]

Aw, man. I like Pat White.

This is what I think

Pat White, QB/WR, West Virginia

Measurables:
Height-6-2: He has an average height for a QB and for a WR it would be a good height.
Weight-185: It is a below average weight for a QB and a little to small to a WR.
40-4.48: An amazing 40 time for a QB but an average 40 time for a WR.

Pro’s: He has amazing mobility and speed. Pat has nice touch on the dump off pass. Also he is best when in the shotgun and throwing on the run. White has nice touch on short throws and has nice pocket presence. He rarely gets sacked and he has a nice release. Also he has decent footwork and mechanics.

Con’s: He has below average touch and accuracy on long throws. Also he lacks the bulk for a QB and for a WR. What position will he play? Does he have good enough hands to play WR in the NFL?

QB Note: He throws left handed and over-the-top.

Projection: Mid 2nd- Early 3rd RD

Comparison: Antwan Randle El: They both play and or played QB in college. Both lack the accuracy to play QB in the NFL. White will also have to switch to WR also they have relatively the same size

Pat White isn't much of a passer, he's the prototypical zone-read QB. Also you have to realize Mike Vick had wordclass armstrength and came from a prostyle offense, even tho he ran options constantly.

Actually looking back can anyone explain to me how Mike Vick actually got the #1 pick?? In hindsight its pretty surprising, and I didn't watch football back then
