There’s rumors it’s going to become a moving event from city to city
I heard this but saw that it took place in Indy this year; so, I thought I misheard.
The draft used to take place in NYC every year. Now it travels to different cities. The Combine may have the same fate. I think it should stay in Indy. It is an Indy event.

I’ve stood on that turf many times over the years. Couldn’t believe how hard it was the first time I walked on it. Feels like a track more than a field.
Designed on purpose that way for our speedy receivers during the Manning era.
Does the Combine take place there? I wonder if a change of turf would impact the future of the Combine in Indy, if LOS is used for the Combine.

I was like: I don't get the GIF thou... oh..
I don't either. Does it mean the same as these:

I disagree. The helpfulness of a test is not determined by the success of one player, be it in positive or negative direction. It will add another data point. One that they might have needed since they've been saying that so far no QB who scored low has succeeded. It might help them better contextualize what the test is saying about the prospects... or it might just be an outlier.
Okay. I hear you, but I don't think people will be so quick to dismiss someone who scores low on the test.

Of course you would say that
Some posters (like the one you quoted) should just be ignored. Writing "This injury is a good thing" says a lot about someone, similar to Eagles fans cheering the injury of an opposing player.

How has this thread not been shut down already?
Maybe today.
What are your thoughts on the matter? You're a long time member from the early days when Brent, SouthWest, and JayKirk used to post. I wonder what they would say.

This might be the best of this thread , one of the funniest things I have ever heard
That was funny by MarylandTerrapin.
One of my favorites which was posted by a formerly very active member, SouthWest1, was:
At the time, I had never heard that and thought it was his own creation.
(He posted that to show what he thought of Brad Wells leaving a Colts site.)
I can imagine SW1 using that here.
Anyway, all the best on Sunday. You have a competent QB to hold the fort until Richardson is well enough to play again.

Its my understanding the test is about processing speed, not necessarily about analytical skills.
I may have added "analytical skills" by accident, but those who believed in the test thought it could help eliminate those who would not be successful in football.
If the test measures processing speed, then it was not accurate at predicting Stroud's speed when processing information on the football field. One has to process lots of information quickly to be successful at football. Stroud is clearly doing that.
Anyway, good discussion.

Yeah, if a person is not used to taking one particular kind of test, it can be a one-off environmental surprise thing. I think there is value to that kind of testing, but more things probably have to be understood about it.
I think it has value, but Stroud's success may show that this test does not accurately predict how a quarterback will play. The proponents of the S2 test noted that scoring well on the test was not necessarily a sign of future success but that failing the test is a sign that someone does not have the analytical skills to play the game. Stroud failed the test badly, but he is playing football well without a great OL and without great WRs.

I guess Stroud had that processing test hanging over him too by then.
If Stroud continues to play well, teams won't be using that test anymore.

This thread is literally lock worthy smh.
I thought about locking or even deleting it, but doing so sends the message that some opinions are not welcomed. I don't think that is the message we want to send, but everyone can voice their opinions Some agree with Lenny, but most members of the forum don't. That is good to see.

Interesting that Lenny hasn’t followed up his original post, eh?
He never does. He did not do so when he wrote a similar post at the beginning of the season.

Most likely it’s going to be IR if it was a grade 3.
I did not like Mond at all when he was with the Vikings, but he looked better with Cleveland this offseason.
(Side note: I saw your post about Anthony Miller. He was once a valued prospect, I believe. I wonder what happened to him.)

The lack of an abundance of major college experience combined with college success via athleticism...then drafted in the top 5? Backed up by a QB that gets initially treated like an NFL cute pet? AR and Lance have that commonality.
I guess you can say that, but I doubt that was what Lenny was thinking, given everything else he wrote. JMO -

Hope he wasn’t around for Peyton’s rookie year. Wonder if he wanted Harbaugh back 🤔
I doubt he had a problem with Peyton, even in Peyton's rookie year. I think anyone who reads Lenny's comments can see exactly what he is trying to convey without his coming out and saying it. That is pretty clear, especially when he says that Minshew will always be better than Richardson and his comparing Richardson to Lance.

Both are ballers. You can tell they love the game and give 100% every game. Ballard fleeced Buffalo by trading for Moss.
That makes up for Jerry Hughes??

Yeah that one hurts me badly. I’m 4-1 at the moment but that might change fast with this development.
Hopefully he comes back in two weeks. I would keep him on the bench rather than cutting/waiving him. He is expected back.
Feel better.

@RollerColtyou need to sit Jefferson for at least 4 weeks. He is being placed on IR. I think Kirk will be using Addison more. We may need to sign another receiver.

Nobody watched this game? The Raiders beat the Pack 17-13. CB Amik Robertson with the pick to seal the win for the Raiders at the end.
He was one of my late round picks in one of the Gavin Mock Drafts we had. Lol.

I think many of us did not know. This is the first time I had heard of this.
