the source?  Rhule himself

Well, I can't find anywhere where Rhule says this. The article says Rhule says this on the radio show, but the radio show is Joe Person and he admits he's guessing. "That felt like the Hurney presence" is not definitive. It's supposition.

I have a hard time believing that a professional scouting department that has been scouting a player for months/years is going to be swayed by the Combine one way or another, unless the player just flops or something. This is probably even more true about prospective QBs. Scouts pretty much know what they can do before they even step on the field of the Underwear Olympics. That being said, there may be somewhat more emphasis for a guy who essentially only played one season at the position. I think it gives us unkowns a ticket to private workouts, but TL already has that ticket so what he does at the workouts are vastly more important than the Combine, and this can probably be said for most players except the cream of the crop! 

Where I totally disagree with you is that I don't believe that you get into this numbers game with a guy you believe is a franchise QB. I don't care if it's too 5 or not, if your guy is there, you take him! You don't get cute, and you don't get lost within minutiae of the trade valuation chart!

Lance has plenty to love! The question is whether that raw talent can be refined into a professional QB worthy of a high first round pick, and higher than another outstanding prospect (Sewell being the guy at his position comes to mind)!

Love it or hate it guys are made or broken in the combine every year. Ali Marpet to Jeremy Chinn.  We also see it every year with wrs. John Ross anyone?Whats nice about the combine is if you love a guy but he falls a bit because of the combine that can be good.

We’ve been trying to mend the line since Gross retired. Unless we are guaranteed the best QB this year, which we aren’t, we should go O-line.

Nobody is "guaranteed" the best QB. Higher picks do not equal better players, only better prospects. Any QB taken could theoretically end up as the best QB from this class.

I agree to a point. Sometimes guys from those small schools fall through the cracks, Marpet being a prime example. This isn't happening with Trey Lance. Everyone of import knows who he is.

I disagree. I think if Lance performed poorly in the combine it would absolutely hurt him.

That's not my point. I've already said that if he bombs it will hurt him, but believe it or not, anyone that performs poorly at the Combine will hurt them!

Any QB taken could end up being a bust. Gotta go with the most sure thing and if that is the #1 LT vs the #3 QB from the same draft class you go with the former in my opinion.

Maybe I read your post wrong.  I thought you said that professional scouts with years of research wouldn't allow the combine to deter their thinking. Maybe I misinterpreted.

Look at last years draft, Who is the best QB from the top 3, Burrow, Tua, or Herbert?

      Just our luck

      Baker was never at any point in his career a bust except maybe with Carolina, in which we set him up to fail to save the coach/GM. Darnold appears to potentially be a new Geno. I would give it at least another season before I am ready to make that leap. Another guy that would have never been successful here. Jones was never a true bust, IMO. Average to below average starting QB. Also his "ascension" is far from assured. This was far more fan hype as a "bust" than actual reality, IMO. Still TBD, ultimately.  MAC Jones is the same middling game manager QB he was in New England but in a Kyle Shanahan offense. So, if you think Mac Jones is now a "success" is Brock Purdy an elite QB? Is he middle of the road?

      The tide finally turns... Even Bryce nut huggers at PFF finally admit the obvious.

      I’ll answer your question even though you won’t answer mine for some reason. I’m asking you because you were the one who brought up the threat of banning with Icege a few weeks ago and also because I’ve seen in the past a poster that you were disagreeing with get banned basically mid argument and the reason given was that they were a “single issue poster”, but I haven’t seen the same standard applied to people who align more closely with your opinions. OP is one of the most obvious and trashy trolls I’ve seen and yet I’ve noticed you specifically promoting his dead threading to gloat about the Panthers QB being bad.

      No way do they give him a contract Keep him through year 4 but on the bench and get brisset for next year find that qb in 2027 draft seen enough  nothing short of a prolific offensive showing over the remaining  games against decent opponents justifies keeping him in a starting role next year  ..or Canales as offensive coordinator
