I would trade down to draft Mallet the druggie or Locker later in the round.

Also, let’s go ahead and acknowledge that Newton is not a top QB.

Their top QB doesn’t throw at the Combine. Bradford, Stafford, Ryan, in recent times. Their second tier guy does. Flacco, Freeman, Ponder, in recent times.

Where as, u leave everything for the Pro Day and u don’t do well, where does that leave the QB?

Maybe Blain is buying into the hype more than he should.

QB’s who dont throw at the combine have something to hide. Red flag, sorry Blaine…
=========================

Of course he has something to hide. Just like all of these historic NFL busts who didn’t throw at the combine:

Peyton Manning
Aaron Rodgers

If they do not want to do the drills then don’t show up. I understand that a “business decision” trumps glory but I also know that a guy that is not afraid to compete anywhere or anytime against his peers is a guy you can win with.

When their hand is completely stuck in the cookie jar and Mom is at the door.

I will always favor those who are willing to compete.

That’s a bad sign. The whole ‘play when I wanna play’ thing never works long term.

If he doesn’t feel like throwing during the audition, how’s it going to be different after he’s drafted, sitting on $20 million, and getting pounded by NFL defenses?

He should wait for his pro day.
