QB, RB, and WR Day at the combine

Obviously game situations. It's just too bad that we only have 16 of those, many against poor talent, to judge him on. It would have been nice to see him stand out in these drills.

If 16 games don't provide a large enough sample size for you to judge him on, why are you getting worked up over a few passes in a non-game situation today? Don't you think that is irrational?

I'm not worked up at all. And if anything, those 16 games didn't solidify him as a top 3 pick, IMO. And he didn't do anything at the combine to change that. If this is just trash, then why bother with it? I'm sure if he would have made all of his throws, the same people on here saying it doesn't matter would be on here telling others about how great he looked.

Hell, earlier in this thread a jab was taken at people because a "source" said Stafford looked good on the chalkboard. I don't think the absurdity is just coming from one direction here.

I never said it was. Of course everyone has their own biases that they try to push.

My whole point is that it is absolutely absurd to feel that 16 games were not enough to evaluate Sanchez, but this one day of practice seals the deal for you or anyone on him. That doesn't make sense in my mind.

The issue wtih 16 games is more about Sanchez's experience, not the ability to evaluate him. Junior QB's typically struggle... much less guys with 16 games of starting experience.

You're kind of putting words in my mouth. I said I didn't think there was a good enough sample size to evaluate him. I was hoping he would come out today and impress, much like Flacco did last year. His performance definitely didn't do anything to help him, so if there were already people who had question marks, why should they feel better after today? Other than the fact that he at least competed, which I like. It doesn't seal the deal or anything like that, but I don't think he is a homerun pick either. I will be fine if Pioli/Haley like him though.
