Dave Ragone


Height: 6-4

Weight: 249

Position: QB

College: Louisville

Drafted: Pick 24 of the 3rd round by Houston
Analysis
Positives: Has above average body control and playing speed for a player his size... Shows quickness and fluidity in his drop-&-setup...Dependable leader who scans the field well...Understands coverage packages and has an especially quick release on short and intermediate throws...Has good arm strength and shows accuracy and touch on his long tosses...Poised and composed under pressure, with the lateral agility to slide in the pocket...Can move the chains and because of his size, he is very hard to bring down by the initial tackler...Keeps the ball up and on top on his long throws...Carries the ball ear-high and has solid over-the-top mechanics...Finishes his throws with his shoulders squared and his feet firmly set...Makes proper checks at the line of scrimmage...Good team leader who likes to work out in the weight room with his offensive linemen.
Negatives: Too tough and competitive, which causes him to take unnecessary risks with the ball...Has a strong, but not a great left arm, as he makes his receivers work for the ball rather than letting them run through his throws...Works mostly from the shot gun...Ball security problems have resulted in a high amount of fumbles...Forces his passes when under pressure, staring down his primary target too long...While he has adequate arm strength, he needs to throw the ball a little harder, as his passes tend to wobble and is often off-target when throwing on the move or working from underneath the center...Has a higher than usual delivery point, which prevents him from getting great speed behind his release...Needs to lead his receivers better, as he tends to aim at their numbers...Under- throws on most of his deep tosses.
Career Notes
Mobile and physical specimen at quarterback with a linebacker's mentality...Big-game passer with all the physical attributes and savvy to back it up...He is equally comfortable winging the ball deep in a shootout or grinding it out on the ground himself...Completed 685 of 1180 passes (58.1%) for 8564 yards, 74 touchdowns and 29 interceptions...Only Chris Redman (1031 of 1679 passes for 12,541 yards and 84 scores) had better career totals in school history.
