So if I'm reading all the comments correctly, Malzone is shaping up to be a QB with some physical limitations which he makes up for by playing smart.<br /><br />I like those kinds of QBs ... because there's something really frustrating about physically brilliant play interspersed with drive-killing mistakes. I'd rather see drives executed really well with no 'wow' moments. Just methodical movement down the field.<br /><br />Desmond Howard took some flak for saying some athletic QBs forget they must *first* be a QB and second an athlete. I agree 100% with what Howard was getting at. Yeah, I'd love to have a really athletic guy who's also great at running the offense. But given the choice between a really athletic QB that makes mistakes and a less-gifted guy who's smart about being the QB ... I'll take the latter.DonAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-20046560846001168902014-05-13T08:43:08.439-04:002014-05-13T08:43:08.439-04:00No doubt Bellomy is faster.

IMO, accuracy under pressure and pocket awareness are the two foundational skills for college QB's that are toughest to develop through practice alone. I never felt that Bellomy had the potential to be a starter at UM, but Malzone should legitimately be in the mix.<br /><br />The wind-up in the delivery kind of comes and goes in his highlights, so I think he'll clean that up. Arm strength is TBD, but I assume that Nussmeier did due diligence here. He reminds me of Speight in that he throws well on the move and puts a nice touch on his passes. I like the fact that UM recruited two QB's in a row who have accuracy as a strength.Painter Smurfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-21241051288225916952014-05-13T06:09:34.967-04:002014-05-13T06:09:34.967-04:00He makes me think of Brian Griese, similar in size...He makes me think of Brian Griese, similar in size compared with the ideal, successful in a very tough conference, accurate. I got to see him throw this winter without realizing who he was as i was focused on Morriss and Gio Rescigno, he throws a real nice tight spiral with some zip. i think this kid is a nice pickup.Roanmanhttp://justthinking.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-10264027099937967242014-05-13T05:41:41.796-04:002014-05-13T05:41:41.796-04:00The way things look now, if both he and Speight re...The way things look now, if both he and Speight redshirt, you're looking at a two-year window for Malzone to start. Granted, something could happen (a transfer, a 2016 guy surpassing him, etc.), but if you're starting at Michigan for a year or two, you're probably at least halfway decent by that point. He won't be Nick Sheridan.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-44274065165409332292014-05-13T05:39:13.285-04:002014-05-13T05:39:13.285-04:00I think I overrated Bellomy, so that's one thi...I think I overrated Bellomy, so that's one thing to note.

Their sizes are similar, both lack arm strength, both played baseball, and appear to be a lot like -- do you see some Bellomy on Malzone? What notable differences do you see?suduri xusaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514381713516547280noreply@blogger.com
