East-West Shrine Game 2011 Open Thread

The very first Shrine Game took place in 1925. This will be the 86th game in history to be played. The West Team leads the series at 45-35-5. A majority of these games have taken place in the Northern California Bay Area; either San Francisco or Palo Alto most of the time. In 2006, they relocated to Texas and last year the game was moved to Orlando, Florida which is where this afternoon's game will take place.
Each year talented players are invited to this event. And each year players are able to boost their draft stock up a few slots. On the other side of that, players that are hyped a bit more than their capacity fall flat decreasing where they may be drafted. There will still be the NFL Combine for most of these guys as well. So even if some of them have a sub-par performance today, it's still possible for them to regain some ground at the NFL Combine and, or their respective pro days. One thing is certain, there will be players on both sides of that spectrum this afternoon.
Most fans that will be watching are either die-hard NCAA football fanatics and this will be, besides the Senior Bowl, the last time to watch some of their favorite college players. Some of them may also be watching because they want to see who potentially could be on their favorite pro teams roster come April. There are also some, like myself, that will be watching for both reasons.
Several NFL Teams will be in search of a quarterback to resurrect their franchises. And several pro scouts will either be in attendance or watching the game extremely closely on their televisions. They will be paying attention to detail. The mechanics, fundamentals, and just sheer on field presence will be looked at under a microscope.
The guys who will be playing in this game will without question have the adrenaline flowing. This is a huge opportunity for a lot of them. Particularly the guys who have not received a ton of the mainstream media hype.
After the jump, I will list each roster followed up with a watch list of players that will carry the most intrigue.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Out of both of these "watch" list, I am sure there will be a player or two that was left off. Just about every year, a guy or two that hasn't gotten the attention he deserved because he played at a smaller school, will emerge in today's spotlight. It should be a fun filled game with lots of action. There has only been a handful of games out of the 85 that have been played before this that have not been very high scoring. Either way, scoring or not, I hope to see more than all the punters showcasing their talents.

Alex Smith still sucks
holy crap if he stays….
Is there anyway to buy stock in trolling?
Harbaugh will find a QB and he will succeed.

What did you guys think of Tyrod?
I’ve watched him all season, and I see him through maroon and orange glasses.
"[...] coordinator Bud Foster has never had problems filling holes."
He did ok.
Nothing eye-popping though.

I think a better representation of his skills
Would be the throw during the Stanford game where he fired a bullet as he went out of bounds to Jarrett Boykin in the endzone (catch stolen by David Wilson, but it was still a touchdown).
He just has great vision on the run.
"[...] coordinator Bud Foster has never had problems filling holes."
I think Mike Mayock is right on ... perfect fit for the Canadian Football League.

He was the leading tackler on the team last year.
But he is a safety, not a CB. Brandyn Thompson is the CB.

So-so.
He didn’t get much playing time.

He has looked inaccurate
which is strange. I’m sure it’s a timing thing but he looks like a deer in headlights the little I have seen him.
I like that he is a film rat
I am sure he has an incredible work ethic too

Yeah... he is out of his comfort zone
Not used to WR’s and blocking and all that. 1 week is not a ton of time to get used to your team.
Not making excuses, but it does play a part in these types of games.

Hesitant
I think that’s the thing that got me the most. Indecisive QBs don’t succeed in the NFL.
That’s my big concern from what I have seen. And honestly, he doesn’t seem like he has a very strong arm. He has made some throws but they seem to get there very slowly.
I'm a big fan of his...
But he’s definitely out of his comfort zone.. just makes it worse for him that he’s not getting many throws either.. lots of handoffs.
Only played a couple of series
Seemed like he only threw the ball 3 or 4 times, all 5 yard passes minus the one. He should play again in the second half seeing all three QB’s got time in the first half.

First impression
The defensive lines on both sides are way better than the offensive lines. Even with vanilla defenses a lot of the d line players are getting wherever they want to on the field.
Nice throw by Enderle

oooh there was Devlin....
now THAT was a NFL handoff….first rounder maybe? lol
He has struggled this game.
I was ready to ride his coattails to the Super Bowl and now I know why he is a 3rd rounder.
Barksdale would be a steal in the 3rd.
He would give Anthony Davis a run for his money over there.

Baalke is there
If he is there, I’m sure there are others. Devlin screamed 3rd rounder to me today. He looks hesitant.
Thats prob where he will be slotted
but if the 49ers want him, I would not be mad if we took him at 45.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
I wouldn't be mad per se
I think it depends on who we get with first pick. If we go Quinn for instance, I’d be a little concerned with Devlin at 45 even though he is needed. Only reason is because I really want to come out of this draft with a starting DB.
I’d like a Quinn, Jimmy Smith, Devlin draft if we could. Or something similar.
Not saying he will be picked before our 2nd round pick...
but it’s one of those situations where you don’t want him to do too well here and at the combine because IF the Niners wanted him, you wouldn’t want some other team sniping him before they could get a chance

Devlin sucks... he can be a 7th round pick if any
Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect ___?__ to be super so soon. Alex Smith is no longer expected to do much for this team in the future... on to the next one!!
Can't wait to see Dalton and Kaeprnick nest week.
We will see how much working with P. Manning will have helped either, if any at all.

Yeah
Don’t think one week does much, but I don’t get your love for Kaepernick. I HATE his throwing motion.
He is a 5th rounder at best.

No way. You are off.
He will go 3rd… no later than 4th. Someone like the Raiders could love him in the 2nd even.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
Man I get he has all the physical tools
I just hate the windup. He is a QB, so he will probably go sooner than 5th, but for me, anything higher than a 5th rounder for a developmental QB scares me. He is a Nate Davis. Smarter obviously, but is very raw. Kaepernick has 3 years easy of holding a clipboard and developing, that’s not a 2nd rounder even for the Raiders.
Key word YOU.
It’s not nearly as bad as you are making out to be. He gets the ball out quick and with velocity… yes, both. Quick and velocity.
Nate Davis? Really? Now I know you are full of it.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
I think he is raw.
I never said I was talking for anyone other than myself. When you talk, it’s coming as your opinion. When I talk, it’s my opinion. I think that’s pretty obvious don’t you think?
You don’t have to get defensive when someone talks bad about your man crush. I just happen to disagree with you. I don’t think you are full of it. I just don’t see what you see in him. He has a cannon that’s for sure, but quick is not something I have noticed. I watched him wind up a LOT. In their bowl game he had all day in the pocket, and he had a windup worse than Tebow. Kaepernick stepped into every single one of his throws, which is baseball throw with his windup. What happens when he gets pressure in his face?
Listen, I like the guy, but are you telling me he starts in his first year? 2nd? 3rd? If it’s his 3rd or 4th (I think it’s his 4th year), that’s a 5th rounder. When I talk about Nate Davis, I am not comparing their talents, just how raw they are, and Davis when we took him, wasn’t going to see the field for 3 years. I think Kaepernick is the same thing, he won’t see starting for 3-4 years IF he ever does. In the first 3 rounds, we should be looking at a QB that could step in and start the FIRST year. No way Kaepernick does.
Had Kaepernick played for a Texas, or a Ohio State, etc... he would be regarded higher.
Higher than a Vince Young or somebody of that nature.
He, to me… by look at his tangibles and nothing else can be better than VY… and faster than what you are giving him credit for.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
So when do you think he starts though?
Like honestly? I just don’t see him starting for 3+ years, and if that’s the case, he is 5th round material. At best 4th round because of his upside. I just think a QB you take in 1st two rounds should be able to start immediately, and in 3rd round should be able to start after a year.
I don’t doubt he has upside, or that he isn’t fast (I’ve never said anything about his speed), I just think he has a long way to go.
I don't care either way....
but just because you don’t start right away at QB, doesn’t mean you are limited to only being a 5th or worse, Aaron Rodgers is one example, he was a FIRST rounder and didn’t start right away
by sanfranfanmdk on Jan 22, 2011 4:40 PM PST up reply actions
Cmon
They had Brett Favre.
We have nobody. You don’t use a 3rd rounder for a guy that is a developmental QB. How can you compare Rodgers sitting to Kaepernick? Kaepernick has to completely relearn how to throw the ball. Rodgers probably could have stepped in after year one.
He doesn't have to relearn at all.

Does it work?

You are crazy if you think he doesn't have to relearn.
He throws like Tebow. He drops it down around his hip and winds up.
If Tebow had to relearn, then he will. Maybe you need to watch some more film with him. He throws the ball hard, but from when he decides to throw the ball, to when he throws it, it takes a while.
He throws like a shortstop, vs. a 2nd baseman. A 2B throws from his ear and makes a quick throw where the SS winds up more. QBs throw more like a 2nd baseman from their ear. Kaepernick winds up.
Repeat after me…
KAEPERNICK HAS A WINDUP, GOOD QBS DO NOT
KAEPERNICK HAS A WINDUP, GOOD QBS DO NOT
KAEPERNICK HAS A WINDUP, GOOD QBS DO NOT.
have you seen David Carrs throwing motion?

What are you talking about?
Wth are you seeing? I have not once seen him drop around his hip for a throw> He throws a bit side arm but so did Elway, so does VY, so did Marino, Kosar, etc…
I dont deny that he has problems in his mechanics but you are WAY over-exaggerating.

Well the supposed plan IS to get a vet to come in and play right now, instead of a rookie
and i am not saying they draft him either…look at last year, the Panthers took TWO QB’s before the 5th, with intending on having Moore start

this guy obviously has a deep draft/ man crush on Kaepernick. LOL
Favre will end his messy NFL career with a lawsuit with former JET's massage therapists. I guess Brett's career won't include a happy ending... :)
Locker or Devlin?
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
I'd still rather give Harbaugh the guy with more raw talent
It’s not my pick, always tell myself that.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
I feel ya
I think Locker has the most upside if he can learn to set his feet. I think it affects his accuracy. I know his WR struggle with catching the ball, but Locker can get happy feet sometimes and he needs to learn how to move within the pocket and planting his feet instead of just taking off.
Devlin is limited I think, Locker can be legit.
Locker throws off his back foot a ton.
Devlin doesn’t. That doesn’t fly in the NFL. Not saying it cannot be corrected, but as far as raw talent goes… its real tough to gauge which of the two is better in that regard. Locker is more athletic, there’s no doubt about that, but Devlin is a better pure passer.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
Locker is a QB version of Tebow
I think he will be just fine. Footwork can be corrected. I think Locker throws on the run, off his back foot, falling back, etc…too often because of his OL. I know we disagree with how good they are, but I think he has fallen into bad habits due to no time in the pocket.
I am curious how he does at the combine and his pro day. I want to see how accurate he is with his feet set. I think if he can get some time, he can be good. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest to see us do a CB with first pick, and if Locker falls into the late teens to see us jump up and get him.
Oh God... the Oline argument again... geez.

Devlin didn't have a good performance today
So far he’s been a pain in the butt to judge.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
Yeah definitely....
of course games like these it is extremely difficult to judge anyone….i do remember Devlins gusty performance when he was still with PSU against Ohio State that gave the team the win

I don't get a lot of Pac-10 games out here
but isn’t Locker somewhat of an injury risk?

He got a serious case of the early Steve Young’s. He decides to pull the ball down and run way to early and often.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
Yeah, that may get him killed in the NFL
Of course, I think I am more thinking of Christian Ponder the more I think about it lol

Biggest choker in college football?
Why? He has choked in every critical situation he has had to face throughout his collegiate career.

Are you anticipating a strike? Haha

Locker has missed a few games here and there but not an injury risk.
Alex Smith is the only 49er QB to take every snap in a full season, 2007 or was it 2006…his second year.

Jerrod Johnson clearly doesn't have it...
I only caught the last of Enderle’s performance… it’s late here in Scandinavia…
Anyone get impressed by him?
So what's the score?

Touchdowns are worth 19 in the Shrine Game and safeties are worth 8.

Brandon Bair from Oregon is a nice prospect.
Also from Oregon is Maehl. He catches everything and is a true slot WR. Wes Welker type player. Too many runs this game, not enough passing to really assess the QB’s.
FINALLY some scoring....
i started watching at the beginning of the 2nd half, and have been bored as heck
Marvin Austin
Doesn’t have the size I’d like to see in a NT…
But I’ll be damned if he isn’t getting double teamed and still penetrating.
Wonder how he’d work out as a 3 tech….
Anyone have some opinions?
I didn’t get to see NC play much before he got suspended.
It's funny you mention his name again...
I am actually re-watching the Boise State vs. Nevada stuff right now.

I wish I wouldn't have deleted it.
I’ve learned, if you are going to tape a lot of stuff, don’t tape it in HD. lol.
Just watch how much time he had, and how he had virtually no pass rush in his face. He steps into every throw with a wind up. I didn’t see him put much touch on the ball either, everything was a rope. I think the guy has an absolute cannon, but we all know there is much more to a QB than that, otherwise Mallet goes #1.
I disagree... Ive been watching Kaepernick for 4 years now. He posses the things that you are claiming he doesn't.
He needs to fine tune, which is why he will be a 3rd rounder. Which is why he COULD start in a year or so… maybe sooner if the guy in front of him goes down.

The only thing I claim he doesn't have
Is a QB motion. I’ve never said he has a weak arm, I’ve never said he isn’t fast. Those you keep putting words in my mouth.
The guy has a windup, it’s as simple as that. Manning, Brady, Brees do not. Guy has to re-learn how to throw like a QB. It’s simple. That’s all I have ever said about him. He looks EXACTLY like a SS throwing to 1B.
Tebow still throws the exact same way.
It’s a small sample size but he played really, really well in the 2 games he started. I was surprised.
I learned last year not to be so naive and closed minded. If Tebow can do it, Kaepernick sure in the hell can do it.

No when they look like they have survived an apartment fire.
Did you see his press conference when he announced Hue Jackson?
Good comparison.
If they ever make another movie, they won’t need to make another crypt keeper. They can just use Al.
Call it, "Black Saturday"
because everyone of these QB’s stocks dropping.
1.QB Pat Devlin 2.CB Jalil Brown 3.CB Kendric Burney 4. G Ben Ijalana 4.S Tyler Sash 5.RB Brandon Saine 6.WR Lester Jean 6. Nose Tackle 7. Kicker 7.QB Tyrod Taylor
he's been 2nd rounded since Tuesday
I’m just too lazy to update it
1.QB Pat Devlin 2.CB Jalil Brown 3.CB Kendric Burney 4. G Ben Ijalana 4.S Tyler Sash 5.RB Brandon Saine 6.WR Lester Jean 6. Nose Tackle 7. Kicker 7.QB Tyrod Taylor
Sorry coach
I have bad work ethic.
1.QB Pat Devlin 2.CB Jalil Brown 3.CB Kendric Burney 4. G Ben Ijalana 4.S Tyler Sash 5.RB Brandon Saine 6.WR Lester Jean 6. Nose Tackle 7. Kicker 7.QB Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Taylor
Played pretty well despite the announcer putting him down for everything.
5th or 6th round till he runs a 4.4 (WR possibility after that)
I would like to see him on the Practice Squad if we go after another guy.
Here's money for a cab. Now entering sleep mode. beep beep beep zzzzzzzzz
Locker stock rising?
After seeing Devlin, only Harbaugh knows if his mechanics can be corrected. Locker may be the more stable of the two, just depends on the draft order.
Jay Cruise
Ab Workouts Mind Body Spirit Arthritis Treatment
Locker has higher potential as well.
I like Locker at #7 more than Devlin in the 2nd or 3rd right now.
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
my dog <3
Pat Devlin!! lets get hiim the second round please..
