NFL Combine QB workout thread

[RealSNR]

Coverage starts at 8 AM Sunday on NFL Network. No idea when QBs will actually throw, but GoWalrus has promised to get clips of Geno's workout. No idea if he'll get any of the others.

Here is what we can expect the throwing drills to look like:

Through the combine, they get a good idea about whether the player name is likely to light up the football scoreboards in the future.

They want to see the quarterback’s 3-step drop, 5-step drop, 7-step drop and within those drops the reps want to see the QB go through the route tree. What’s the route tree? The QB is asked to run a slant, an out, a throw in, a corner route (7 route) and the deep route (the go).

Many quarterbacks worry that as they don’t personally know the receiver and have never played with them, they might throw over or under them giving the reps an inaccurate estimate of their skill. However, the reps do not care whether the receiver catches the pass or not. All they are interested in is seeing the quarterback’s footwork while they are running the 3-step drop, the 5-step drop and the 7-step drop.

In the 3-step drop they want to see how the quarterback handles and positions the ball: under-center. This is because most quarterbacks in college have never been under-center; they’re usually all back in the spread. They see and study the footwork, how the QB plants himself and drives the throw.

In the 5-step drop (intermediate route), the QB has to take 3 big steps and 2 small steps, get the ball and throw it out right away. Therefore, their footwork is essential.
In the 7-step drop (a deeper throw) the footwork, again, is very critical. Bill Walsh said that he could tell by looking at the quarterback’s feet (footwork) whether he had a good or a bad game. The second thing they notice is the carriage i.e. how the quarterback carries the football. Is it up towards the shoulder or is it below towards the center of the chest and stomach. However, ever since Philip Rivers no one can positively judge the quarterback through the position of his carriage.

Finally, they look into the arm strength. This is why the quarterbacks are asked to throw the 7 route and the deep route. The reps watch the quarterbacks drop back 5 to 7 yards and throw the football. They want to see how quickly and accurately it comes out of the quarterback’s hands.

Yeah, but I'm lazy.

In either event, nicely done. CoMo is essentially ∞/∞

He's even ****ed over players he doesn't realize he likes yet.

It's the reverse Midas touch.

Every subject he touches turns to shit.

The true depths of his actions will never be known to him.

A lot are former athletes. I bet half could get it up once. Getting stronger is actually one of the better things about getting older as well. So Milkman should be able to hit 20 reps.

Ok thats your opinion. I was just giving people info for those who missed the interview.

If you realize it or not our fate rests in his hands.

He signs we get Geno. If he walks we get Joeckel.

Woah that's fast. For already being as highly rated as he was, now 4.31?

Going to be a lot of buzz around him now.

His posts are a shit tsunami and he's a low hanging storm.

I still like Sharrif Floyd better, but Milliner is a strong 2nd.

If we won't take Geno, those are 2 options that are at least more palatable than Joeckel.

Floyd would be the Seymour that ****stain claimed Jackson was going to be, Milliner would likely be a slightly better version of the guy that ****stain let walk.

In either event, at that point 1.1 would at least be used filling one of the massive holes that the worthless fat ****er created on this team rather than filling a hole that Herm and Carl were kind enough to fill for Pioli.

Goddammit I hate that man.
