Doesn't matter what he runs at the combine imo, dude literally has highlight after highlight of him running away from defenders, he's damn fast with the pads on and that's all that matters imo. But I agree, if I had to guess he'll run sub 4.5, but the draftnik community has been slow to warm to...

I'd guess he's the one with the ####ty stats but all of them have ####ty stats.

I'm pretty sure I've written my thoughts on this subject on these forums before, but I think the stat sheet is arguably more important for QBs than any other position. Having great college stats definitely isn't a guarantee of future success in the NFL, but I see it as basically a minimum...

Guess I was wrong, I didn't realize all those guys' freshman seasons were following redshirt seasons. Still, I think it's ill-advised to treat a QB as an elite prospect before they put up an elite statistical season.

That's a lot less true these days than just several years ago. And usually it takes more than statistical mediocrity to get as much hype as he's had, even for a true freshman.

He wasn't great last year either imo, definitely overrated. 59% CMP%, 7.54 YPA, 2/1 TD/INT ratio, those numbers certainly didn't scream NFL prospect.

It doesn't seem like she has a problem with straw men arguments at all, actually.

:nerd: Though to be honest I hope the Leafs continue to fail as miserably as possible

Yeah no kidding, so much for stats. I mean, what kind of assistant GM allows this kind of embarrassing performance to happen just 4 months after being hired.

At the same levels that the student athletes on football teams are? No not even close.

A large number of these kids wouldn't even be able to get into these universities were it not for special admission programs provided for athletes by most of these schools.

GSR is basically irrelevant given the classes/majors these athletes have a high tendency of taking. And of course schools care way more about their football players than their normal students, they make the school money and bring the school bragging rights that some common student has no hope...

Pretty much. The players aren't representative of the students at these schools, they're brought to these schools to play football and that's it; at least that's the case for 90+% of schools. It exists for entertainment for the student bodies and for the schools to make money.

No it doesn't.

I don't know, to me it certainly was. Every character was basically a caricature. Too over the top and slapstick-ish for me anyway.
