Lots of guys hold their own private workouts. Matt Ryan did it last year. Some guys just feel more comfortable doing it that way. Its really not a big deal.

The talent at the top of this draft sucks. It figures the year we are in position to pick up a stud, there might not be there one for the taking.

I want Sanchez, but I can see why people feel that neither is worth a top 10 selection.

The problem is, there aren't many guys in this draft worthy of top 10 picks.

Give me Sanchez and I'll be happy as hell.

Did not know that. Thanks.

The Bad Guy seems morose.

Someone needs to sacrifice a True Fan as an antidote.

From your link...

2. To throw or not to throw? That's the question going through the minds of quarterbacks Matthew Stafford of Georgia, Mark Sanchez of Southern California and Josh Freeman of Kansas State. Normally, top quarterbacks don't throw, but the circumstances are different for these three quarterbacks because they are underclassmen. History has shown that quarterbacks who skip their senior seasons have struggled or failed in the pros. Teams that draft underclassmen QBs know they are taking a risk. Stafford, Sanchez and Freeman might have to throw to help ease those concerns.

He should throw.

DeezNutz 02-21-2009 09:58 AM
Unless he burns all game film, I'm not sure how Freeman throwing will ease anyone's concerns.

IMO the combine is for guys looking to solidify their draft position or move up.

A guy like Stafford is a consensus #1 or top 3 at worst pick. The combine would do nothing for him.

Other than risk tweaking something.

And it's not Stafford's decision. His agents and handlers are telling him not to do this because they don't want to risk some kind of freak injury that costs them a major payday. They do this with everyone. That's why interviews are so coached now.

Janitor at Lucas Oil Stadium?
Yeah, this is "expert" adjacent. If you don't care about sourcing you can use yourself as an unidentified source.

But, having not seen the games in question, did Stafford play poorly?

He has three years of starting experience in the SEC. What major prospects in the last ten years have that kind of experience? Cutler and the Mannings are about it. He has more starting experience than Matt Ryan did, more than Roethlisberger, more than Flacco.

I guess Sanchez's agent is stupid? I hope he goes higher than Stafford because he isnt afraid to throw a football on the big stage.

Sanchez's agent is his brother so yes, he probably won't do things that are considered normal.

LMAO..

Throwing in shorts and a t-shirt to receivers you've never seen before is now the big stage.

I'll be sure to include this line when I introduce JaMarcus Russell at his HOF induction.

He's also the defacto number one pick at this moment. He's really working out for a couple of teams. Why make it harder on yourself?

That said, I wouldn't automatically draw comparisons to Matt Ryan (who seems to be one of those rare once or twice-a-decade guys who comes in and performs very well on a team without a great defense).

Thats not what everyone was saying about him this time last year. Which was Exactly my point earlier.
