Prediction: Brohm will be BETTER than Ryan
BROHM OVER RYAN
Go ahead and mark it down.
Hold me to my word.
I predict that Louisville’s Brian Brohm will be a better NFL quarterback than Boston College’s Matt Ryan.
OK, so Brohm lacks the Carson Palmer-like rocket arm. But he still makes all the throws with good zip and accuracy, and the combination of his football, delivery and release are flawless. He’s built for the NFL just like Peyton Manning.
Ryan has a slightly stronger arm and great intangibles, but I don’t like his accuracy. To me, he’s too erratic, which mirrors his NFL comparison — Drew Brees.
A strong breeze will knock Ryan over. He’s skinny. Imagine what some hits from NFL linemen and linebackers will do. Ryan may break in half.
I’m willing to walk the plank on this one.
I love Brohm. I’m only lukewarm on Ryan.
One last thing on Ryan. His agent is Tom Condon. Ryan WILL hold out, and it will hurt him during his rookie season.
