How did no one score above a 7.5, though? You'd think at least ONE dude would get over the All-Pro hump.

I think that's by design so they won't have to drop people if they have a lovely combine and they can raise them up instead if they do well.

The funny thing is I think AJ McCarron has the biggest personality problem of all the draft prospects because he thinks he's perfect, but everyone just prattles about how he's a winner and a great leader. He skipped the Senior Bowl, it sounds like he isn't participating at the Combine. He told Dan Patrick he's not listening to anyone and he doesn't trust anyone. And he blamed Alabama's losses on "entitled younger players" and then additionally blamed recruiters for giving those players 5 star ratings and said they don't know what they're doing. BTW, he didn't exactly have a great game against Oklahoma. They laid an egg.

He just rubs me the wrong way. An arrogant jackass that doesn't know how to handle losing. I feel like we keep getting guys like that out of USC and Alabama and they never amount to anything in the NFL.

I can't wait until those Gruden QB Camp things. I wanna see him react to one of his interceptions and see if he goes full on Pickles.

I thought of that after I made the post, but Tebow was a lot more impressive physically than Manziel is, and Manziel was arguably an even more dominant college player - Tebow never got close to rushing for 1,400 yards or passing for 4,100.

He also tweeted about demonic influences in the Grammys, and either his mom or girlfriend tweeted some racist things about Jameis Winston. None of this is really relevant to him as a future NFLer, but it makes me actively root against his future success. I hadn't heard about some of the things you just posted.

Pickles is Clausen's nickname because of his last name and because spelling doesn't matter any more

Clausen went on Gruden's QB Camp and basically blamed all of his mistakes on other players and Gruden didn't Love This Guy.

Tebow was dominant in a different way. He'd run into piles, jump pass, and get some nasty rushing TDs here and there. Manziel is more fluid and agile. Both completely dominated college football in their respective years.

Let's talk draft crushes. Davante Adams, could be Dez Bryant, will be James Jones. High pointing the ball gets me hard so I'm a big fan of Adams. I'd be quite happy with the Ravens taking him in the 2nd, if he falls that far.

I had never heard about this so I googled it and man, I don't see it. Yes, Jameis sounds like a hick. He is a hick. He probably sounds exactly like everyone else in small town Alabama

I guess you could attribute it to "black guy sounds dumb" and call it racist, but I think it's more along the lines of "I'm bitter my son didn't win this game and will make fun of his drawl"

I love when they go to the game tape and you can pinpoint the exact moment when Gruden realizes "wow, this guy is full of poo poo"


E: Gruden's broadcast persona may or may not be a gimmick, but didn't he have a reputation as a hardass when he was coaching? I'm watching more of those segments and he rarely, if ever, lets the players off lightly.

He knew Clausen was at fault for the hideous interception against UNC and when Clausen tries to explain it away, his eyes glaze and I see the true Gruden.

Yeah, this is what I was getting at with his old coaching self. I distinctly remember him being known as a kinda cold-blooded personality, which is why the Chucky nickname caught on in the first place. He probably softened up in the broadcast booth (again, I'm half-convinced it's a gimmick, as entertaining as it is), but you can still see that side of him during bad games (it helps that he's partnered with Tirico, who has no filter when it comes to bad games), and during these QB Camp segments it's obvious when he can smell bullshit and puts the QBs on the spot.

I watched him, didn't want to admit it and still don't. I keep stopping myself from talking about the Jaguars being the worst case scenario when the best case scenario is kind of the same thing except he never got on the field.

No really the Jags were awful for him. Oh God I can't stop.
