I scored 23 lol. 20 is average, 30 well above average.

You'd probably be just as good as a QB in the NFL as Jimmy Clausen.

 

[TTN2810]

Not sure if a compliment or an insult.. hahaha. At 5'10, 145, running a 4.81 40, I'll take it as a compliment.

 

[Hurricane Season]

It's basically an insult directed at Clausen.

Ran out of time on question 40

I ran out of time on question 30 lol, got a 25

 

[elcheato]

The ones I know I can get I take the small time. If I know it's going to take me longer than 30 seconds, I just guess.
 
Didn't use a calculator either, I'm assuming you aren't allowed.

 

[TTN2810]

Did anyone take it a second time? I wonder if it's the same questions lol. If it is, it's probably pretty easy to blow your first try out of the water.
 
Interesting the Browns are apparently into Carr. Smokescreen? IDK. But I don't think he makes it to 26. Still think he goes 20 to ARZ.

Phil Simms said Geno Smith was a better prospect coming out than any of the QB's this year. Sounds ludicrous until you actually think about it. There's definitely an argument to be made.

On Logan Thomas:
McShay: "Killed it on the board…very football intelligent…won't make it to the 4th"
Kiper: "I still think he's a tight end"
 
LMAO at Kiper. I'm still on Team Logan, though.

Cody Latimer's a sleeper.

I may have to change my opinion now that Kiper agrees with me.

 

[TTN2810]

That really is a good rule of thumb: if they hair says something, go with the opposite.

 

[Teagz]

Kiper's a tool lmao

 

[Hurricane Season]

I mean, I really don't know if he has the tools to be a successful tight end, but I think he has a better shot at sticking in the league at TE rather than QB.  
 
VT recruited him as a TE.

I disagree.  When I look at it on the surface, Smith played in the same conference and has almost identical size to Teddy Bridgewater, and as a fan, my eyes told me Bridgewater was the more shiny star in college games.  Johnny Manziel would be discredited in a comparison because of size and Blake Bortles would be discredited in a comparison because of quality of competition.  However, both of those guys are projected to be drafted above Bridgewater in many, many places.  Bridgewater whom is entering the draft with an incredibly similar resume as Smith, but seems to be a more favorable prospect than Smith was.

The major difference is arm strength. Geno has a legit arm, whereas Teddy is debatable. Similar everything else really. Size, accuracy, etc. Geno definitely has more potential too, and is more scheme diverse. Arguably more competitive on the field too. More fire. It has been a long time since I scouted Geno though.

 

[Teagz]

Zack Martin's gonna end up at Guard, right?

 

[Hurricane Season]

I remember seeing Geno make many "wow" throws in college. I haven't seen as much from Teddy, but I haven't watched a ton of tape on him either.

Teddy's pocket presence is so much better, though. The guy is a warrior back there.
