Oh you mean those very same throws that Mayock and Faulk were SLOBBING his knob over? As he walked back to the group they said:
"he might not be feeling real good about that, but up here we're really impressed(or something to that effect). He's throwing to a spot, where the receiver should be, just like he's supposed to, not one of those throws get intercepted at the next level"
Not verbatim, but pretty goddamned closed to what the two of them said.
Also slobbed his knob on his post-corner routes. Think he might have completed one if he was lucky. Again though, the ball was exactly where it was supposed to be, where only the receiver could get it. While other QB's were concerned about completing the pass and wound throwing bad balls. About that they said something to the affect of "wow. He is really throwing the ball where it is supposed to be.(get out the pen and draw on screen to show that the cone on the sideline is the real target)
They went on to reiterate many a time about how it does not matter one bit whether or not you complete passes at the combine. The scouts, coaches and gms know you have zero timing with these receivers. Mentioned plenty of times how impressed they were with Stanzi and his accuracy and ability to throw to a spot, or to the window he is supposed to hit. Kind of like how Warner made his living with St. Louis, minus the deep ball.
The only throwing drill Stanzi had trouble with was the seam route, just like a stud like Gabbert probably will have. Timing/touch/arm strength throw he just hasn't been able to kill yet. He's a 50/50 guy in that area.
Silly bitch.
Were you watching at a bar with no sound? You really could learn a lot if you listened. Cam Newton struggled, b/c he complete passes to receivers, he doesn't make reads and throw to spots/windows. He was complete ass except his deep ball.
