Sad.
I thought this was a forum that is free of personal attack. Are you going to continue calling me sad because of your comparison of Foles and Marino?

The combine workouts is mainly geared for the scouts to confirm or intrigue their thoughts on players based on what they have seen in game film. The workouts are just a way they can measure "football attributes" to distinguish one player from the next to help the scouting/drafting process. The interviews is what the combine is really about. Most coaches and scouts are just going through their boards and doing their due diligence to find out as much as possible so they can arrange their boards accordingly.

57.7 completion percentage, 74 TDs, 64 INTs, and 7905 passing yards in his college career. Less mobility than Foles.
My god Hos... I was going to Pitt when Marino did. LOL!

So, unrelated to this discussion then I have to ask, do you miss them being an independent?

All of this stuff is misplaced, though, because Robert Griffin can actually throw the ball, too. Over 10,000 yards passing, 78 TDs to only 17 INTs in four years.

Just because dude can run doesn't mean you have to all of a sudden dump on him. He's going to be a very good QB.

And a perfect fit in a ZBS who uses the boot leg quite often

Yeah, not sure how it went from RGIIIs incredible 40 time to Hos likes Foles as an indictment.

RGIII's 40 time -> Hos likes Foles -> Therefore, RGIII sucks.

Yeah, NFLN has mentioned the 4.33 twice and they say he ran it at the combine, plus links say it too. But I don't remember him running in the combine either.

Who knows.

Actually I do.

I also miss them not being very relevant when it comes to fielding competitive teams the last couple of decades.

They keep trying with different coaches, but they just aren't recruiting well as their neighbors from mid-state.

I never intimated that. I like the kid very much. I pray he doesn't end up in Washington.

Well I've definitely been hoping he doesn't end up a Skin.

That would suck, course I don't know if they got Peyton would be any better.

You and me both. With Shanahan's bootleg passes and our seeming inability to sniff them out, we'd get murdered if we can't cover.
