The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread

Funny, fans get all riled up every year about so and so not throwing. Has it ever hurt someone's draft stock? Even Cam's crappy throwing display at the combine didn't hurt him.

True but if it hasnt hurt anyone's stock why isnt he throwing? I would think a running style QB like RGIII would be dying to show off his arm and accuracy because if he kicked butt he could vault himself to #1 overall.

There's plenty of tape to show he can throw, and he'll throw at his pro day.

That tape is college ball which has almost nothing to do with pro football.

the funny part is that he's suggesting that throwing at the combine is somehow closer to Pro Football than actual College ball is...

Not really. What I'm suggesting that college ball is nothing at all like pro and guys who look great in college can look pretty crummy in the pros and vice versa. There are just too many huge mis-matches and talent differences in college that can make guys look much better than than they are.

Is Luck hiding something? I dont know but I doubt it, I dont think RGIII is either. The thing with Luck is he's a pro style QB while RGIII isnt so I'm much more wary of RGIII.

LOL. What do you suggest, we let them play in the NFL for a minimum of two years before we subject them to the scouting combine?

I don't care whether they throw or not, but this makes me wonder why they don't.

Simple, they have nothing to gain. They'd rather throw in a controlled workout, throwing to WRs they are familiar with.
