2011 Senior Bowl Week

[SBXVII]

I hope the majority who said QB didn't do so with Locker on their mind. Why? Because seriously ... there is 9 teams ahead of the Skins who; will be, could be, or might be looking for a QB and if Locker is the top QB as every media pundit is trying to do with him right now .... he most likely will be gone by #10.

I wouldn't be shocked if Locker is taken before Gabbert

I hope all of the QBs are taken before #10 so Von Miller will still be there...

I like that scenario.

@skinzwin

I doubt Dalton will be there in the 2nd, I've heard he's impressing a lot of scouts so far. Also saw ponder was hurt? And Titus young was compared to desean Jackson now that's saying something

I'd be stunned

Oh I know it won't happen but there are a few teams that need a QB ahead of us. Its just my personal opinion I'd rather not take a risk on one of this year's QBs at #10, so if all the QBs that are worth being taken in the first round are gone it'll take the decision out of it and hopefully someone like Von Miller would be a no brainer decision.

Josh Freeman hung around until the mid-late first round. Aaron Rogers fell to 24th!

......Dan Marino fell a bit too.

That scouting report on Cam Newton has one terribly bogus projection.

4.64 forty?

No fing way. That guy is fast as ****. He makes SEC safties and cb's look like pylons.

Maybe he should change positions and become that fast FB we need. LOL

Too much of a project folks. He's working with a QB coach so he must know he has some glaring inadequacies. He will be thinking too much out there and get buried. Stay away from the better than "Tim Tebow".

So you think 4.64 isn't fast? It is, especially for a qb, he was running against a lot of SEC db's that run in the 4.6 range I bet.

Not saying you specifically, but I think many of us get caught up in 40 times & think that 4.3 is exponentially faster than 4.6. Sure it's considerably faster, but we're still talking tenths of a second. An elusive 4.6 offensive player can make up that difference & then some w/one quick move to get a defender behind him.

A qb that runs as fast as 4.6 is still pretty rare in the nfl.

Sure 4.64 is fast especially for a qb, but I think there will be two sub 4.5 qb's at this years combine alone.

Jake Locker is even faster than Newton, but I still think Newton is getting below 4.5 although he has such long strides his timed speed might not be as good as the tape.

Two sub 4.5s - that's rare. The combine is good for actually getting REAL #s on these guys, rather than what their schools report.

They say you can't teach speed, which is true essentially, but you can teach sprinting technique. Guys can improve by a tenth or so in the 40 simply by working on their stance & first step out of the blocks & correcting flaws in form. i.e. to some degree, I believe the 40 test becomes a "teaching the test" excercise.

Generally, long strides are not conducive to sprinting. The longer the stride, the quicker the turnover has to be. Sprinters win w/short, quick strides.

Is it just me or is Locker looking more and more like he's going to be our guy?
