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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
