Quote:That's the crux of it.  It was total rockstar, whether you buy into the hype or not.  No one can recall any Pro Day where the QB went helmet and pads for the workout.

 

He turned heads (and admittedly surprised me with the fanfare and circus factor), but I agree - I still don't think any of the QBs are worth our third pick.  What changed for me is that his risk/reward factor just got a little less risky.  This of course, is coupled with the Gruden QB Camp where he stood tall (pun intended) against Gruden's attempts to challenge him.  I'm wary of short QBs, but it's becoming more common lately.  Shorter QBs are having success and proving they shouldn't be written off on that alone.  The risk remains no doubt about it, I'm just less worried about the risk than I was before.

 

 

The helmet and pads thing is overblown vs shorts and a t-shirt.  If anything he should be more comfortable in a helmet in pads in those situations than other QBs were throwing without them.

 

As for your 2nd paragraph we agree on that issue.  Johnny is a risk but he also offers a team a potentially very high reward.
