...

workouts don't mean a lot. private workouts not run by scouts mean even less. there, you happy now? =p

who exactly do you think was the 5th best QB last year if not Pike, btw? lol.

Lefevour, Webb, Skelton, Crompton, Kafka, Canfield come to mind.

Mind you I am not saying these guys are good QB's (I don't think any of those guys besides Webb will amount to anything) but guys I would have ranked ahead of Pike. Canfield was even picked after Pike so I am not a genius either.

There is about 15 seconds of him actually working out. He made 1 throw in that video.

When you say yet did they say the whole workout would be released? I have a feeling there will be no more released.

I have a hunch that it will magically leak out closer to draft time. Hype, hype, hype.....

Not really. In fact, in any draft, you'll have a variety of concerns about different players.

So is Mike Mayock.

Dilfer's wrong sometimes too. They all are.

Im not brushing Mayock off either. IMO its way to early to say one way or another. What he does with his wonderlic and Combine will say a lot. I would expect him to do almost every exercise to prove he can do it. If he does not, then I will change my stance on him. As of right now Cam Newton needs to prove he can do everything if he want to be the 1st QB selected.

Canfield has a worse arm than Pike. Please don't ever mention him in terms of NFL QBs again.

K thanks

Only Mav is going to answer my question about what they are basing their sudden determination on. Was it the video you saw or the comments?

You might want to go back about 10 or so pages and read what Bucky Brooks, a real live ex NFL scout said about Cam. He was there and interviewed him one on one.

I guess it makes more sene to use Mayock though right? You know, since he wasn't even there and all. Not to mention the fact that he has Locker as the #2 QB on his board. What the hell has Locker done to deserve #2 that Cam hasn't? Would Cam had been better off passing for under 60% and not being a winner? I don't get it.

Maybe it's that Locker comes from a more pro friendly offense and thus doesn't have to adjust to the NFL offensive alignments like Cam will....

There have been a couple of write ups about the workout and they were positive TRD. Not just Dilfer. Plus a couple of tweets that were positive form some of the media scouts. I think there are some links buried in this massive thread.

What does any of that have to do with my question? I just wanted to know if everyone was basing their determination on the comments they heard about the workout or from what they saw in the workout itself?

What good does it do to come from a pro offense when you suck at running it? Locker has never proven himself as a passer. That's a fact.

My observation was positive as well, I'm just wondering if you SAW anything that changed your mind?

Those videos don't show much.

The answer is that people are forming their opinions from the NFL scout who was there and talked to the guy one on one, along with all the games we have watched.

I was there, and you never asked me if I was a "real live ex NFL scout"

Honest question though...Did you expect him to look anything other than stellar?

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
