Quote:I'll be the first one to admit that I haven't seen every single throw TB made in college, so I can't really comment about his accuracy.  That's what scouts are for.  THey actually look at whether it was accurate (not just whether it was complete) and whether the QB hit the receiver in stride, etc.....

 

I just don't understand that if this accuracy was so good for him, why couldn't he just showcase it?  Why couldn't he SHOW people that he can do it, under controlled circumstances?  

 

And frankly I doubt the accuracy was the only thing that dropped him that far.

 

Teddy doesn't have ideal sized hands, which can lead to less grip. The glove helps him get better grip. HIs pro day he threw without the glove, and he was inaccurate. I don't know if he wore it here in Jacksonville, but he did for the workout with the Vikings.

 

Players drop for all kinds of reasons. Maybe it was the bad pro day. Maybe it was the size issues. Maybe teams just prefer more talkative and players with swag (no question that Dave/Gus likes those types based on the players we've brought in the past couple of years). Who knows. But GMs, scouts, and teams are far from infallible...and players who fall in the draft time and time again (but end up being great players) prove that just as players who rise in the draft (but fail to produce in the Pros) does.
