What these players did in games is 95% of the evaluation. The biggest takeaway from the combine is medicals and interviews.
I understand that.
It just always cracks me up with people using throwing distance as a measure of meaningful arm strength....like 40 times being an end all.
My son could throw a football 60+ yards when he was in high school....no one was begging him to play QB.
It reminds me of people going crazy because Kyle Boller threw the ball 70 yards or whatever from his knees....

Tabacco is a bigger thing in football than is EVER talked about!
There is NO reporter who is going to call them out on it either.

Those secrets are more classified than ,well all joking aside as we know..
Didn't realize that was a thing I know in baseball it is frowned upon and thought it was that way in all sports. Now watching Aaron Boone devour sunflower seeds in the dugout is disgusting too. How about you just coach and manage without anything in your mouth including a wad of gum Pete Carroll!

No one chews gum like Les Snead.....how often on tv during a game does he have gum hanging out of his mouth.
Its strange.

Agreed, too many people make a big deal out of these measurables.

They are mainly just a confirmation of what scouts have seen on the field. Relative Athletic Scores are more useful for identifying possible late round players than it is first round players, especially for a quarterbacks. Instincts for the game are more important than running a 4.23 or throwing the ball 70 yards. Bumping a bad football player up a few rounds because he runs and jumps fast is idiocy.

Boller played here locally, had a cannon for sure but as you infer it didn't make him a quality QB. Arm strength is 1 of the many factors and a plus to the point of making all the pro level throws. That Spencer dude in the tweet or whatever it is was just looking for clicks.
Its typical offseason/pre-draft banter that will be almost meaningless come week 1

Sure,but during interviews?? Especially from a Star QB ?? Seeing a workout for possibly The Number 1 pick in the NFL & a dude is chewing & spitting during the session IMO is WEAK.

Went to training camp under Mcvay & there’s Robert Quinn 5 yards away. He spit out a WAD that was almost as BIG as A COWPIE. No chit !! It was Hot & Steamy as well.
True NC old school Tabacco there.Just like back in the day,when they made gum looking like it.Promoting it.

I’m not against it,it more of a thing now with the pouches than cigarettes for sure. Players use to come off the field (Rams) smoking cigarettes. Jack Snow was a chain smoker.
