I've said this like 10 times:
The only part of the combine that matters for QBs are interviews and the Wonderlic.
The reason why guys who are second tier QBs throw at the combine is because they are desperate to get buzz any way that they can. They are fighting for their professional lives. 1st round Qbs aren't.
The reason why Sanchez did everything at the combine is because he was desperate to get buzz to help elevate him above Stafford.
It's the same reason why Quinn did
everything two years ago. He was trying to boost himself ahead of Russell.
Unless he aces his wonderlic and Stafford gets a 22 or below, he failed. But he tried.
He needed to hit a grand slam to pass Stafford on people's boards anyway. He didn't do it. In fact, he didn't get on base at all. He made an out, but it was a productive out.
He showed himself to be willing to do anything to get the attention of teams. It's not enough to elevate him, but it is enough to give him props in the determination and drive department.
