NFL.com Wire Reports:

"The Golden Calf of Bristol completed 8 of 12 passes for 50 yards, but his longest completion in the showcase for senior NFL prospects was 11 yards. He never was turned loose as a power runner, like he was in college, and netted just 4 yards on four carries...."

But he's fiery and a good leader. Man I swear I've heard that somewhere before.

The Senior Bowl obsession this year that's come out of the blue has really weirded me out. You guys all realize that the combine is far and away more important than the Senior Bowl right? I don't understand all of the hype around it this year.

The Senior Bowl is actually pretty huge. Last year Pat White played lights out at the SB and that raised his draft value by a lot. It's not as big as the combine, but it's definitely not to be taken lightly.

I want Arenas.

If we somehow got LeFevour and Gilyard in a Panthers uniform, I would probably cream myself.

[DirtyMagic97]

Did anyone watch this? I didn't get a chance. How did LeFevour look? I saw his stats, and his completion percentage sucked, but apparently had some big plays?

Honestly though, looking at the stats, none of the QB's did that well. Zac seemed to get the most reps throwing the ball which led to more statistics.

The Golden Calf of Bristol can throw, just a matter of him learning, and he's got plenty of time, I wouldn't rule him out so quickly, he'll be a good QB in the NFL.

Looked to me like half the snaps he took under center, he had 3 guys on top of him before he could even take 3 steps back.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I didn't see the big deal. These guys are all over The Golden Calf of Bristol's jock... I watched when he came back in the game in the 2nd half and he looked better than Robinson throwing wise, which surprised me.

He made two impressive completions on consecutive out-routes to receivers that required a great deal of arm strength. He zipped them in there and kept it away from defenders. The two fumbles he had were not really related to his throwing motion, although I do believe he had a fumble knocked up in the air during his "cock back" motion but I believe his teammate recovered it.

I thought he looked a lot better than they made it out to be leading up to the game. Of course, he still looked tons better in the shotgun, but I see some hope for him. All he needs is time and I think he'll be a lot like Vince Young (without the mental issues).

SN: I hope we find a way to get Jacoby Ford and/or Gilyard...

In all fairness that Oline was horrid and the Dline was great

Geno Aktins and jared odrick were playing great.

They even had Dan williams and T.Cody playing at the same time thats 720 pounds in the middle

He actually won me over some. He made some pretty prime time throws (and some mistakes).

Really I like the Senior bowl over the combine. Most scouts do too. People can train to get good marks at the Combine but in real situations they dont have that edge. The Golden Calf of Bristol will not be a first round pick unless he just blows away the comp at the combine. I doubt he will though unless its at FB.
