Quote:Except he was praised universally even by some NFL GMs and coaches during the college season. As well as former scouts who do nothing but watch tape something Mayock admitted he didnt do.

 

Also the closer we get to the draft the more desperate draftniks get in  their story making and the lies from coaches/ GMs intensify hence it being called "lying season" so you are backwards on that one pirk.  In fact more gets pushed behind doors as teams do everything to keep other teams off their trail.

 

His arm strength hasnt waned. His accuracy hasnt dropped and there has been nothing to suggest that he has any problem with reading defense as with the other top 2 Qbs and that was acutally his greatest strength outside of outstanding pocket awarness which hasnt been tested since an outstanding bowl game against miami and is considered a weakness for the other 2 QBs.

 

The tape is there for everyone to look at. He goes through his progressions, has poise in the pocket, understands situational football, attacks the tough routes and isnt afraid to throw against man coverage.

 

The only knock on him was size and he trumped that so they jumped on a so-so proday and thats it. Its as if Mayock and others are saying his last 2 college seasons (where he got better in nearly every QB stat btw) are just smoke and mirrors which is laughable at best. I actually feel its the other way around : He IS that high on teams boards and in the minds of scouts and it has become popular opinion to predict his fall so those without real info (Mayock and the rest of ESPN) are trying to do just that.

 

But there no way thats possible right pirk?

 

You've fallen for the guy and are dismissing even the early reports by GMs that what you posted isn't true.

 

GMs have doubted this guy more than the media from the very start.

 

The signs were always there, it's just that they were swept under the rug by those following the crowd.  This was being talked about WELL before the Pro Day.
