LOL if it didnt mean anything then they would not attend. They look at the whole body of work. Your seasons, your bowl games, your workouts, your combine, your wonderlic, and your interview with them. Its all come into play and all factors into there draft process.

Right at different percentages.....

I know the all star games themselves don't mean that much, but we have heard a lot today that throwing in gym shorts is easy. Well if you struggle in gym shorts all week in practice the way Locker did.....

Throwing in gym shorts to guys you've been working with for at least three weeks, probably longer, is easier than doing it for the first time. Just saying.

The feeling I get is that some feel that you can't use a high pick on a QB unless he is rated the way Luck was.

Well if he is a once in a decade like prospect, we will be waiting along time for another Luck. It is time to get a franchise QB.

I will say it again, the Eli, Rivers, Roethlisberger draft was considered by many to be a weak QB draft also.

Um no..... Body of work! The big picture. Ryan leaf is a good example of how you could do everything right then blow off one interview and change what a team thinks about you. Thats what Im talking about. Its all important at the same degree.

No it wasn't....both Rivers and Manning were projected to go in the top 10 and Big Ben was projected to go in the top 18 by a lot of draft sites if I remember right....

True. But who you are throwing to doesn't effect the fact that you can't throw straight. It wasn't anticipation Locker was missing it was accuracy IMO.

But it's not, obviously, we've already heard experts say gym short workouts aren't as important as game film so they obviously aren't weighted the same.....

Well right now a lot of people have Gabbert and Cam going in the top ten and Locker in the top 20 so it looks about the same.

Eli wasn't an overwhelming prospect. There were a lot of concern about Rivers throwing motion and arm strength. And Ben came from a spread, was never under center, and played weak competition.

When I say Eli wasn't overwhelming I mean he wasn't a Luck type guaranteed prospect at #1

Still three QBs projected to go in the top 20 =/= weak class....

this arguing gets really old.. this whole thread is filled with misunderstanding..

Locker sucks.. no one is saying we should draft him, so talking about Locker is pretty irrelevant to this whole discussion.

Mayock is a widely respected, and very knowledgeable.. So he says Locker is the 2nd best, that's hardly a reason to say his whole volume of work is worthless..

so since that is stated in the simplest of terms without any implication involved..

what the f*ck.....

Where did I say his volume of work was worthless? I do find it odd that he has a QB ahead of Cam that has never even come close to proving he's a good passer though. I mean damn, how can you rate a QB that high if he can't throw a lick?

      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.
