NFL Draft Anybody here ever actually run the 40? - Page 29

Direckshun · 03-02-2011, 09:15 PM

Curious to see if we have any other athletes out here.

I don't have a stopwatch. Maybe I should see if one of my friends does and get some jackass to time me.

What's your 40 time?

It's good to know that all of you "Sub-25 year-olds" stick together.

Our nation is in great hands.

It was pretty TIC, Dane.

I didn't think it was that hard to figure out.

Good to know all you "Over-40 year olds" stick together in claiming that a high school football coach hand timing you with a stop-watch translates to true 4.5 speed in today's terms.

I'm gonna go get something to eat.

I'm not going to drive there, though.

I'll get there quicker running since I run a 4.4 forty.

Nice comeback.

You deflect, as usual, when you can't offer any proof to the contrary.

You can't use success as proof of speed and also say speed isn't indicative of being successful.

You have said both in this thread.

The facts are this: 1981-1983, hand timed, lots of success for the program and scores of its players.

You can "question" whether or not it was a "true" time all you want. It doesn't matter a damn bit because it was nearly 30 years ago.

But based on the consistently of the timings, the quality of play and the ability of guys to compete at a high level against other similarly timed guys, I'd say they were accurate for the day.

It's downright stupid to imply otherwise, especially since you cannot prove that those times were incorrect.

And who, exactly, said that?

There's been claims of people lying and exaggerating, of coaches lying and exaggerating and all kinds of other bullshit thrown around in this thread but I've yet to see even ONE person equate a hand-time 40 to a laser-timed 40.

Maybe you should read the whole thread.

No dane at LEAST thee people have legit claimed SUB 4.5 speed.but keep saying what you want it to be.

More proof that you aren't paying attention or that you have a learning and reading disorder.

What I've stated over and over again is that straight line speed is not indicative of a football player's ability.

What I've actually stated is if you match two guys with equal speed and one goes on to have success against other evenly matched players, the timing is pretty damn accurate, laser-tested or not.

Comprende?

No matter how many times you say it it doesn't make it right there are MANY slower players that school faster players in every nfl game playedl

I played football with a guy that ran sub 4:45 40. He couldn't play football worth a crap, ended up with a track scholarship at Florida State. Straight line speed means little if you don't have the other aspects, see the Oakland Raiders drafting practices.

Lol. And I wonder if you have gone back and actually looked to side how many claimed 4.5 speed.

I looked at the first page and had two sub 4.5s not even counting the joke posts. Add in dirk and three people have claimed SUB 4.5. Yet you keep saying three people claimed 4.5 that's wrong. Sorry
