Kaaya Lions

[arizonacane]

Kaaya will have a good career for the Lions. The BC Lions.

He'll make the 52. He's got big league arm talent and is extremely bright and hardworking. If he had the line Dorsey had at Miami, he would've been a Heisman candidate. He just was set up to fail running an offense that he wasn't comfortable with behind a ****ty line. Think Kaaya makes a nice living as a backup QB.

/was impressed with him on Gruden's show. You could tell he's not a fan of the RPO, which Gruden **** all over.

All he has to do to make the 52 is to beat out Jake Rudock. He's got a **** good shot lol.

Except it's not that simple. QB's around the league get cut and picked up by other teams in camp all the time. Kaaya will have to impress if he wants to make the 53. Just a terrible decision by him to leave Miami early.

The man left declared early for draft to become 6th round pick

I'm a Lions fan. Believe me. He will beat out Jake Rudock. If not this year it would only be due to the fact that Rudock knows the playbook. In that case Kaaya is a one year practice squad player and I'd bet a months salary he beats Rudock next year. Rudock is trashhhhhh.

 

[RocketsandCanes]

The NFL rookie minimum for 2017 is $465K. If Kaaya sticks with Lions he'll be just fine.

If you make a team yes but 6th round draft picks have to really impress to make a team.

No chance he makes the roster. Couple years in practice squad and out.

As a Lions fan I can tell you right now that this statement is both uninformed and absolutely stupid. He will be competing with Jake Rudock. The same Jake Rudock that transferred to Michigan because he couldn't win the starting job at Iowa. The same Jake Rudock thay draft analysts were baffled was even drafted in the first place. The only possible reason Brad Kaaya isn't the Lions backup QB by the time the season begins is that Rudock already knows the offense, in which case Brad ends up on the practice squad for a year and is virtually guaranteed the Lions backup job next year.

Well Kayaa likely is a lock cause he is going up against Jake Rudock

Bad decision by Brad. The hate for him is ridiculous. The Oline and Richts absurd play calling (******* ZR) during the 4 game losing streak was as much to blame as his poor play. Now he's dead to everyone? This board is filled with retards.

No its not.

Better than sheriffs and rosier.

Thats not saying much. Its like saying herpes is better than syphilis and chlamydia.

Which it definitely IS NOT

 

[BigJoeGrizzly]

I don't know if another year would have made a difference or not. Kaaya isn't very athletic we know this. Secondly he didn't fit Rick's system of wanting to run an RPO type offense when Brad couldn't run period. Absent Big Gus doing miracles with him in the weight room I'm not sure what else he could prove to the scouts that they don't already know.

 

[Salt]

Somewhat ironic that he goes to play on a team that has a coach that recruited him and may have hurt his development to play behind a qb that was developed by the coach he didn't want to stay and develop with another year.

 

[Golsen82]

Lol reunited with folden, shoulda stayed at UM, karma is a b**ch

 

[CANE]

Scouting teams looked to see who led their teams to victory: the Frenchman or Brad Kaaya. It's rather simple: Kaaya's inability to close the deal in the FSU game lowered his draft stock dramatically.

Don't kid yourselves.

Do you think scouts saw the TD throw he made to Coley? And do you think scouts saw the missed PAT afterwards? If the PAT was good, and MIAMI wins in overtime, people are saying KAAYA threw a dime that beat fsu. I think scouts have more intellect than some fans. Don't kid yourself.

This is a kid who couldn't close the deal in the second half in two games against FSU. The point is to put your team into a position where a PAT shouldn't have to matter. Francoise was able to win that game for FSU, Kaaya was not. That's what they look for.

Look at Clemson vs. Bama, and you'll see why DeShaun Watson was drafted a lot higher than Kaaya.

QBs get too much credit for a win and too much blame for a loss.

 

[DaCanes386]

Who's to say this isn't All Gorlden's fault? Someone posted on here that they kept in touch after he was canned on a weekly basis. Think cheeseburglar was even quoted as saying I'd love to have him throwing to my tight ends. Maybe grolden said declare and I'll get you drafted. Who knows? Best of luck to the dude!

 

[brock]

**** the cowboys was going to pick him with their pick right after the lions

 

[HulkaCaniac]

Honestly? Because he's basically still a kid at 21 and needed some non biased adults to give him sound advice on the biggest decision of his life. He (and Yearby) didn't get it. Just a sad situation when you know that a good kid might have blown his biggest opportunity to make life changing money because of poor advice.

Ugh, no hes not.

He is 21. The adult human brain isn't fully developed until about age 25. So yes, still a kid, not just from a "life experience" standpoint but also a biological one. At that age a kid really needs to lean on people with more life experience to help him with this big a decision. A reasonable adult would have told him that the chances that a sixth round qb will make a 53 man roster are very remote and his best option would be to try to improve his draft stock next year. At the very least, if he isn't happy with the offensive play calling, then graduate early and start somewhere else as a grad transfer to showcase his skills. (Maybe play for Butch!)

He may still technically be a kid, but that's a silly argument. He's making the same decisions at the same age as all the other kids who play college football. If all the other guys in the draft were 27 I'd see your point, but that's not the case.

I don't see early 20's as a kid. Kid is legally able to drink, join the military, get married, ect. He's not a kid despite his brain not fully developed.

I do agree with your post, but all I see from TimeBomb is a bunch of excuses for a kid that is just not that good. He doesn't have the talent to be a quality college and pro quarterback and his decision making is **** poor. All I have to say, is good riddance.

Didn't help Kaaya he did not want to run the 40. I read 12 out of the 15 qbs at the combine did. He chose to sit out with the guy with the dislocated ankle and the other with the bad hamstring. Meanwhile Kaaya claimed a turf toe that nobody apparently knew he had. I am sure this scared off a few teams.

Once he bruises his *****, it will be all that for Brad.

 

[motorcitycane]

If Kaaya stayed Miami makes the playoffs THIS YEAR.

As much as he ****es me off with his athletic ability and missing wide open WRs we would have been better

Let's be honest. No one was counting on anything coming from kaaya running a 40. That's not why you draft a qb like him

Even offensive linemen ran 40s. It just didn't help dispel the notion that he lacked mobility and was unathletic.

Like I said most qbs ran it despite their skill set.
