It was his entire body of work throughout college and his post college path to the draft that contributed to where he was drafted, nothing less. I strongly doubt anyone made a draft determination on him based on his combine performance. It’s just too near the beginning of the process to have that much of an impact. Edit: it’s a moot point as it was posted earlier that he is one of several prominent prospects over the years to not throw at the combine.

What’s not? Flat earth nut jobs aren’t professing their beliefs today or didn’t in the past? What’s not, exactly? Be specific; at least to the degree you are able. Like I said earlier, you are either a troll or woefully and willfully ignorant. Either way, you aren’t capable of reasoned dialog, let alone learned.

No doubt but, like I said, if his motion doesn’t impact his ability to get it out on time and with enough velocity to get it there, they will leave it alone, most likely.

It certainly was and is still believed that the earth is flat as this thread sadly illustrates. And some, especially clergy and the ignoran, professed and continue to profess it, certainly. I’m asking when scholars actually taught it in academic settings, since it’s been known, even among the most illiterate of their times, for thousands of years that the earth is spherical. We were taught myths that Columbus’ crew were afraid of falling off the edge of the earth on their voyage but sailors were actually educated on the subject and had been for milenia by 1492. That’s the only reference to the subject of flat earth I can recall from school personally. That’s just wrong.

Ok, I’ll bite. When did “academia” ever teach that the world was flat?

Not necessarily. While I agree with the larger point about mechanics, especially lower body mechanics, whether or not a coach decides to re-work a throwing motion depends on whether or not that motion is a detriment to getting a ball out on time and with enough velocity. If Darnold can spin it with elite speed, they won’t mess with it.

These agents tend to over think things. Unless there is a medical issue (and that’s gonna be checked, anyway) there is nothing to lose by throwing and nothing to gain by not throwing. It’s still early in the evaluation process in terms of assigning grades so it makes little sense not to participate.

Great minds, what can I say?

Pretty sure that’s God doing shadow puppets. Why, just the other night he did the flying bird.

This is a total crock. ALL available information? The exact OPPOSITE of this is true for you to reach your conclusions. Educated man, my ass. You’re either trolling or woefully and willfully ignorant.

Lol. Wu was the best. “Swedgin!” Hang Dai, Wu. Hang f-ing dai.

No ****, Sherlock. I was making a reference to another long time poster who also changed his moniker. And Tom throws as much crap as he ever did, anyway.

Last I saw it, that crap throwing monkey was hanging out with some dude who was eating crayonz.

It’s definitely one of the ways. Ancient mariners knew the earth was round by observing ship masts growing longer as they appeared over the horizon and moved closer. The most illiterate sailors knew the earth was round thousands of years ago.

I think Kane can do just that. Just go off over a 16 game stretch in the kind of games he’s never played in. His style is tailor made for playoff hockey even when considering his puck hogging ways. So he has a great playoffs, the fans in San Jose fall in love, and the Sharks front office offers him that moon you mentioned. Then, after he signs his deal, he returns to normal, their locker room implodes, they miss the playoffs and we end up winning the lottery with that 2019 pick of theirs.

Last year’s AHL rookie of the year? I’m psyched!

I suppose you don’t believe that the inverted lighthouses that guide submarines aren’t real, either.

Flame on? Who is flaming anything here? My point is that Cosell was way out of line when he made that assessment and the ONLY reason he has a chance to be right is because other QBs in that draft have proved to be poor while he hasn’t done ANYTHING in the league to DISPROVE he doesn’t suck. Thus my remark that Cosell was right for all the wrong reasons.

These intentional ignoramuses need to do what the ancient mariners did thousands of years ago and observe ships at sea as their masts and hulls come more in to view as they move over the horizon. Even the most illiterate sailors have known the earth is round for thousands of years.

Heck, I’ll go as far as to say he was right! But for all the wrong reasons.

Ryan Nassib: best QB in his class.

Real happy for little Davey.

I agree. Anything that tarnishes the brand is a negative impact on the business. I'm just saying it's not always necessarily a financial impact and perhaps KP was alluding to that kind of damage? Good point about ratings, too .While the league won't lose any of the money already guaranteed under the current deal, it will be interesting to see if the networks and other media outlets leverage any ratings decline in the next negotiations. Personally, I think the biggest impact on ratings is the sheer staleness of the product to consumers. I know it is for me, anyway. "Oh look, the Patriots*** are in the Super Bowl again."
