Until you take a step back and pop on some of his tape where you can see a guy that competes every second and never backs down, and then you realize that making character judgements over only the combine is throwing out years of evidence.

Did you feel the same about Burrow not throwing at the combine?

I think we spent enough time as a football society being idiots about when players didn't play in bowl games (possibly costing themselves time/millions etc at the next level for arguable reasons at best). I guess we're just doing that now about throwing at the combine where in a job all about timing and nuance you get zero of it/throw to randos at the combine and have none of what you have had and will have at every level--practice with who you're throwing to.  If you're the consensus top pick which he has been for over a year, I fail to see reason for anyone questioning literally anything he might do to make his consensus not consensus. Easy.

as someone who has preferred Stroud I'm hoping this is sarcasm. Bryce being the #1 recruit out of HS because he obliterated in hs and then living up to that for years on the biggest CFB stage is uh, the epitome of the complete opposite of everything he just said

I could’ve just stopped there.

but no, it’s not the eptitome.  Not every top QB throws at the combine.  Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a competitive nature.

In fact, his film says other wise.  And teams have more than enough of that where he had nothing to prove throwing in spandex like most QBs top don’t either.  Only question mark he every had was his size.  And he showed up and got measured.

i meant what he said--not your response. he had zero to gain by throwing at the combine and plenty to lose--as i stated in my previous post. sorry for the confusion

I have no problem if people like Stroud, Levis, Richardson. I just think being so against a prospect you use things like the combine which the top prospect often decides to not throw to question how much competitive fire he has when you just need to watch some tape and see how hard he played to keep his team in games, it just becomes silly.

I agree.  We as a fanbase have nothing to do but nitpick at this point.  But when people question CJ OR Bryce's competitiveness I'm just like... There are easier ways to say "I don't watch (or have an ounce of comprehension for) college football."

We all hope he’s wrong if he’s the pick but he threw at his pro day so he probably could have thrown at the combine next to the other guys. But it would have been clear his arm isn’t on the same level as the others we were looking at. We know he’s mobile but we don’t know how fast because he didn’t run the 40 or do any drills around speed.  I get top prospects not wanting to get hurt when they were a can’t miss label, like Lawrence or Luck, but when you don’t compete against your class it looks sus.

Once you consider he was probably holding around 10lbs in water weight that weekend it’s no surprise he didn’t throw or do any on field stuff

Film, Film, Film!

 

You talking about a dude not throwing and running in tights with no pads. Man you put way too much stock into the combine. Tom Brady sucked at the combine and he's now The Goat.

 

There is a reason Bryce Young has been the projected #1 pick for the past year. It's called film. Watch his film he's the best QB in this draft.

 

You don't draft a QB #1 and only look at his size. You better be getting the best QB in the draft. It's amazing how this board favors Stroud when everybody else has heavily favored Bryce Young.

 

 

 

Dude you were all sell out for Stroud a month ago.

Yeah. I'm fine if our staff pick Young, but I really want to know why he didn't throw at the combine and didn't weigh at his pro day. That bugs the poo out of me. People don't skip those things unless they've got something to hide. Maybe I'm making too much of it, but it bugs me.

Top prospects skip them all the time actually.  Once again for the people who refuse to listen.  The combine is mostly for teams to network and for the fans.  Nfl teams do not use the combine to decide who to draft.  All they do is check to see if the performance lines up with what they saw on tape.   Thats pretty much it, confirmation of positives and negatives.  Besides interviews combines and pro days arent where they decide if a player can run or throw and they should draft them or not.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is.

      Offensive Line

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
