I know everyone wants to compare Ed Oliver to Aaron Donald but I just don't see it other than both being  undersized athletic DTs. Donald had 29.5 sacks whole playing in P5 conferences (Big East and ACC) Oliver had 13 playing in the American Conference.

Donald was a freak in terms of strength, which Oliver is not. Oliver is more athletic, though. I think you will see Oliver get some mixed reviews depending on the team evaluating him.

Oh, I'm sure. I think virtually every team will have some interest in him but exactly where they value him might vary quite a bit. He's going to have to convince teams he loves football too after sitting out the last part of the season. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about that with Bosa too.

I don't think it will be a concern with either guy. The NFL would much rather you sit and protect your NFL future than gamble with early returns from injuries and jeopardize your NFL future. Very smart business decision on the part of both. 

I would have no qualms at all about selecting them based on missing some completely pointless college games.

Kyler Murray won't throw at the Combine. What a bitch. Cam looked like poo throwing at the Combine but he manned up and did it. And he went #1.

I dont think anyone has any questions about his arm

If he didnt come and measure

Or run the 40 which they think he can put on a show for a QB.  Thats a redflag

I don't think that is a "bitch" move. It's more of a business decision. You get a few of the upper first round guys that decide not to do some drills or even participate outside of measurements every year. If he wants to do his throwing drills in a more controlled environment, why not? That means his camp is fairly confident that won't hurt his stock.

I just see it as a bitch move. I respect the guys that man up and throw. It rarely hurts anyone's stock. Everyone knows they're throwing to unfamiliar WRs.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
