NFL Network's 2010 Combine is the WORST EVER!

[Mizzougrad96]

Aaron Rodgers fell from being the probably top pick of the draft to the end of the first round because there were concerns about the way he held the ball.

Well, now he's a Pro Bowler and the guy who went No. 1 in that draft is arguably one of the worst five starters in the NFL.

What I don't understand is that flawed mechanics is nothing new to Tebow.

This was an issue last year when he decided to stay with The Gators.

Why did he wait till now. Makes no sense.

Probably because like many people, he only made the change when there was no other option but to change.

But again that was the same thing he was told last year. He would have had a full year to change.

i don't believe i've EVER heard of a qb prospect improving his draft stock by showing he's altered his unnacceptable throwing "mechanics" before the draft. puh-leezee, talking heads. it means NOTHING until tebow shows he can keep them altered AND pass well enough to succeed on the nfl level.

ANY team that takes him to play QB in the first two rounds is wacky. now, if he's drafted in Round 2 as some sort of H-back/situational weapon because some offensive guru is egomaniacal enough to think he can make tebow an effective weapon as that sort of threat, maybe. but it's a huge risk even that high, imho.

many a great college qb do not translate to the nfl. tebow's the latest. could he be big enough and athletic enough and smart enough to be a useful tool elsewhere? certainly. i still maintain he'd be wise to work out for teams as a receiving TE, too, so they can measure whether he can, you know, run routes and catch the ball.

heck, freakin' MATT JONES had a better combine a few years ago. this tebow-mania amuses me no end. : : :

I hate to say it, but when guys like JaMarcus Russell and Alex Smith have been top picks of the draft, teams can justify reaching for Tebow. Can he really be any worse than those two?

I don't think anything Tebow did at the combine or at any of the pro days is going to impact his draft status one bit.

Some GM is going to fall in love with him because of the success he had in college and take a chance on him. I'd be stunned if he doesn't go in the first 40-50 picks.

I could see the Pats taking him.

I had it up online at work and was pretty happy with it, although I had it on silent. Today the "Suh Show." Nice class of D-linemen this year. Starting to like Dan Williams out of Tenn. Never really noticed him before.

Pre-Combine my gut told me third round, but I think he's gonna go in the second now. Would you take a perfectly healthy Tebow over two question marks in McCoy and Bradford?

Correct. But was he going to have success in college football whether he did or didn't change then? I believe the answer is yes.

It's only now, when there is no other option for him but to change that he is finally doing so.

I would take Tebow over McCoy but not Bradford

Are we having a serious NFL Draft discussion in a thread where the OP's most insightful line was that everyone was "whack"?

Seriously?

OK, well, carry on. I'll just be over in this corner here rocking a boombox on my left shoulder while I use my right hand to pull my hammer pants up.

It must be opposite day. Usually a good thread devolves into stupidity. Here, a stupid thread evolves into something productive. I like this.

And I'd take both McCoy and Bradford over Tebow, if I'm picking strictly a quarterback. If I have a little more wiggle room (ie; a QB I'm already ok with on my team) then you can look at Tebow because of his possible versatility. Of course, he could also be Dan Kendra minus the exploding chemistry experiment.
