2018 Combine Winners and Losers
-
Winners
Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming: To the surprise of scouts in attendance, Allen was the best passer on the field Saturday. He not only showed exceptional range as a deep-ball thrower, but he was on point with his short and intermediate tosses, particularly out-breaking routes to the boundary. In addition, Allen displayed improved footwork and mechanics on his throws, which led to better accuracy and ball placement. While it is important to keep a T-shirts-and-shorts workout in perspective, this stellar outing from Allen will prompt some scouts to view the Wyoming product as the No. 1 quarterback prospect in the class, based on his physical dimensions and his limitless potential.
Losers
Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA: The most polished passer in the 2018 quarterback class was expected to put on a throwing exhibition that would create buzz in Indianapolis about his readiness as a franchise QB. But Rosen failed to play up to expectations, struggling with his accuracy and ball placement in drills. Rosen missed the mark on several intermediate throws, particularly on out-breaking routes (speed out and post-corner). The repeated misfires were surprising, considering how he displays outstanding accuracy, ball placement and anticipation on tape. While evaluators don't really have concerns about his mechanics, footwork or arm talent, Saturday's struggles will give scouts an opportunity to see how he responds to a little adversity when he gets another chance at his pro day.

So when it counts, Allen can't hit the broadside of a barn, while Rosen "displays outstanding accuracy, ball placement and anticipation".
But in shorts playing against air, Allen is a workout warrior.
Got it.

Mayock loved him at the combine... Bucky brooks hated him.
Already saw this article the day after the draft. I'll give you credit though, at least it's from this year.

And cal actually knows what college Allen plays for, unlike the time he posted about Roethlisberger's college career for the University of Miami Hurricanes.

Of course you aren't... wouldn't expect you to. Since you are beyond illumination, my posts have been designed to antagonize... Mission Accomplished!
Funny that I see nothing in your posts about how either QB prospect did in their interview sessions...
... but then since it does not fit your narrative why should you even bother to look.
Just cal being cal....
All the reports I've read about Allen's whiteboard sessions have left teams scratching their heads as to why he's in the discussion for Round 1 let alone #1 overall.
All the reports I've read about Rosen's interviews is that he blew away every character concern that's been raised and nailed his whiteboard sessions... as did Darnold. The only QB to best both of them? Mayfield...
Wonderlic results ought to be leaking out any day now... that ought to be fun... for one of us.
"Stinkie-stink"??? Really???

It'll be fun regardless. I don't know about their interview sessions, but I'm sure you have a guy who knows a guy
whose cousin's sister works for the NFL and tells you super-duper secrets in favor of your favorite players, so you
allege. It's just Tour being Tourish.
Nice that ONE player on the entire team is speaking out againt critics of rosenbum.
that is ONE out of a listed 99. That tells me that you are all wet in Egypt.

Nothing anyone can say against cal can make him look more childish, more idiotic than the damage he does on his own.
It's actually entertaining to watch.
