It is meritocracy at its finest. It is a chance for these young men, who have busted their asses their entire lives, to exhibit their physical and mental skills to achieve a position with money and prestige that few will ever achieve. I think I just hit on why the Left doesn't like it -- they hate meritocracies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has nothing to prove and Combine is for lesser known names to make a case for themselves. Not playing in a bowl game is another issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,673 Posted February 26, 2024 He can't help himself at all. He's already being dubbed some legendary prospect. What's the point of showing up to the combine? In fact people might figure out that he's not as good as Nabers if he participates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the old school stance. Yeah itd be cool to find an ultra stud 21 year old who will go out and compete esch chance he gets. But that's just a bit over the top. The combine hardly means anything for the 1st round. Then they all have pro days anyway. When you go to a job interview and perform well knowing this was your job all along.. are you going to sit there and spill the beans and babble on more than they ask for at that point? If a guy is deemed a stud and top pick but he knows he doesn't run a 40 too well, why would he come display it? How can he come out and perform a 40 any faster than he is?

seafoam1 3,025 Posted February 26, 2024 HOFer Bill Polian was on NFL radio today talking about how players get so out of "football" shape because of their preparing for the combine that they have to work for many months, properly, to get back into playing football else many lingering injuries start coming up. Soft tissue, etc. . But he mentioned the combine is great for 2 things. #1 Medicals. The whole structure of the combine, logistically, in Indianappolis, revolves around this. Every year they uncover things like heart issues and other underlying problems. #2 Simple metrics. Height, weight speed etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true, but metrics are more of a draft slotting game. I heard another guy say that the combine is great for assessing WRs, cornerbacks, and TEs, but it's impossible to set up drills to effectively evaluate linebackers and interior defensive linemen. There's no possible way to test their in game instincts on the field through drills. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
