reamer Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Murray over 5'10 and 207 pounds is a good start. Wish he'd throw, but at least he's not as tiny as his teammate Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I haven't paid too much attention to the combine before now. How common is it? What notable QBs in recent years didn't throw? Was there any medical concerns with those? If I'm a team thinking on taking a chance on Kyler Murray I want to see as much from him as possible. As the current enigma of this QB draft class, you'd think he'd want to throw to raise his draft stock, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is worrisome to me. eh, who cares. We all know he can throw. We all know he isn't scared to compete. Knocking him for not partaking in something pretty meaningless is getting tired. National media members and anonymous scouts will dog him for this, but in the end it won't make a damn difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I don't think Kyler running or throwing makes a difference. Some team inside the top 5 will take him and I think it's going to be Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand size? He's still smaller than every starting QB in the league. 1 Hand size, height, and BMI. 5'10" 1/8 is only half an inch shorter than his closest comparison in Russell Wilson, his hands measured in well beyond the threshold, and his BMI is more than high enough to play in the NFL. Thresholds used by the NFL extend further back than just current players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thresholds extend further back than current players yeah, but pre Russell Wilson nobody thought a guy his height could play in the NFL and if he didn't exist then people would still be trashing Murray's size. Murray is a weigh-in winner purely because he exceed low expectations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you can choose not to believe it, but that's on you. That's literally what they weighed in at today. AJ Brown only weighed in two pounds lighter than Metcalf and he's three inches shorter, is that measurement fake too? Because he looks like he's more than two pounds lighter than Metcalf if we're going off post-workout pictures. The picture that fooled everyone into thinking Metcalf was going to weigh in like David Boston was a post-workout photo. It's the same reason everyone got fooled into thinking Jared Veldheer looked like the hulk after a post-workout picture of him surfaced too. Muscles swell after a weight lifting session, Metcalf was never the oversized person everyone got tricked into thinking he was. He's been roughly the same size for over a year now. He's also probably cutting a little bit of weight going into the combine before carb-loading today so he can destroy his workouts. He's strong enough that he can afford to cut for this like a body-builder cuts for their events. Kyler Murray, on the other hand, was likely doing everything he could to gain weight. And that's fine, players take different approaches to this, but all that matters are the results. And the results so far have been great for Metcalf and Murray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
