And yes, professional NFL scouts just weren't paying attention.

 

You are honestly sitting here saying the combine is pointless, Senior bowls, and pro-days are pointless? Just when I thought you were getting respectable...

 

What? Of course scouts are paying attention. They probably loved Carr before draftniks did. The latter is always playing catch-up with the opinions of the former. If a player's supposed draft stock ends up inconsistent with where he was actually taken, then the talking heads were probably way off the mark. Does anyone really think that Geno Smith was ever the number-one pick in the draft and then a day two prospect (by some descriptions at the end of the season) all because of a few bad games after a dominant start? I seriously doubt that NFL scouts are as fickle as mock drafts.

 

I don't have 10 quarterbacks that I've watched extensively enough to give an analysis on that would be anything worth a damn, so I'm not going to waste your time. I'm honest. What are you looking for, anyway? To see if my opinion changes, or if they're taken in anywhere near that order?
