2010 Combine

This is probably dumb, but I am looking forward to the rumor mills. Once you get all those agents and GM's and coaches in the same bldg for a couple of days, we ought to start hearing some REALISTIC options and trade scenarios. That would be great.

I'll have my ears to the ground (or whatever the expression is)

I like the word "realistic" enough emphasis cannot be placed on it. Good thread that will begin to gain traction in a few days. I look for Allen to keep a lid on his true intentions, but speculation is going to run rampant as a result.

With McCoy not throwing, which I think is a bit disconcerting I'm curious to see if a guy like Jevan Snead can now take advantage and move up

I thought he was throwing. This would have been a good opportunity for him to gain some ground. That's too bad.

Random Thought: I must say that I agree with Holmgren on this one (about to p QB's not throwing in the combine). I understand if a QB is hurt, but I hate this whole "only throwing at the school's pro day" deal.

Why risk a sub-par performance, dropping, and losing millions, so Mike Holgren (or any other GM/coach) can be happy. Is Holmgren going to pass on either one at # 6...I don't think so.

Why would they have a subpar performance if they are supposed to be that good? Just because you don't have a choreographed pro day at their school?

I know that this will never change, so I'm not going to bother making an argument for it, but I just feel they should be required to throw at the combine just like all the other players.

Nevermind...Colt reportedly won't throw at the combine now. Dr. Andrews says he's not ready

I'd like to see this guys house. It has to be huge considering his standing in the medical community and the number of high profile clients he gets to work on.

You've got some man-love for this kid. I'm just nowhere close to sold on him. Workouts are great and all, but on the field of play in a season where he was supposed to emerge as a high first round pick, he totally flopped.

That said, if Smoot gets released and we end up with Snead, we may need to figure out how to incorporate his name into your username. :)

I agree with you and Holmgren. Leaving injured players aside, as a pro-to-be you should desire an opportunity to strut your stuff. And having players work in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar teammates is what coaches naturally want, given that it simulates some NFL scenarios and is more genuine than a choreographed pro day.

I understand The Great Sammy Baugh's logic regarding risking huge sums of money, but as it is the QB scene at the combine is lame.
