A) Why the hell do they even test a quarterback's 40 time, broad jump, and vertical jump?

B) Look whose "records" he broke... Anthony Richardson (great athlete, TERRIBLE quarterback) and RGIII (what'd he have, one good year?) That alone should show these idiots how useless these factors are when it comes to evaluating a quarterback.

C) Who the hell has ever watched Taylen Green and thought "that guy should be one of the top ten quarterbacks drafted and get paid millions of dollars."? Probably the same guys who think LaNorris Sellers is a great NFL prospect.

D) The article really buried the lede. The very last sentence... "Some scouts have said he will need to gain more consistency in his throwing motion, which is an extended delivery." Uh, ya think???

Fuck it, the NFL should just go back to the Winged T. All the rules that have been implemented to help quarterbacks, and the NFL doesn't draft guys who can actually throw the ball accurately.

Ok, the old man is off his soap box. Just saw this stupid article and needed to vent.

The Stooges ran the Wing T the best. I could see any of your aforementioned QBS being just as effective! 50383.gif

I feel your pain. Leave it to ESPN to hype bullshit. Gotta be a fucking idiot to think any of that matters. But....
