[quote=celts32;887655]I suspect the most important combine discussion topic will end up being RG3's measurements. I hope he's at least 6'1 and change.[/quote]

That will be something to see and if he doesnt will really change things. Unfortunately he's not going to throw (only run) which IMO raises a red flag.

Blackmon's speed will also be a big issue because he's not very tall.

Well he'd rather just throw in a controlled environment to receivers he's familiar with

And I thought I heard Blackmon isn't running

Funny, fans get all riled up every year about so and so not throwing. Has it ever hurt someone's draft stock? Even Cam's crappy throwing display at the combine didn't hurt him.

This is the 2nd time this off-season the Redskins have requested time with Brockers (for the life of me, I can't remember when was the first time but I know it happened. Unless the first time was also for the combine?)

Anyhow, this could mean a few things:

-Due diligence

-Legitimate interest

-Getting some intel on his teammate Morris Claiborne (whose position coach at LSU just took the same job with the Bucs incidentally)

True but if it hasnt hurt anyone's stock why isnt he throwing? I would think a running style QB like RGIII would be dying to show off his arm and accuracy because if he kicked butt he could vault himself to #1 overall.

kinda surprised we would have strong interest. We need serious serious help on offense. I mean our entire offense is bottom 5 in the league. Only exception would be Morris Claiborne at CB. So that makes the most sense.

I don't care whether they throw or not, but this makes me wonder why they don't.

maybe we have such interest in him because Jarvis's knee is worse than we thought...

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

Love for Peyton Manning to show up the combine and throw with the QBs. Shutting up all the hatters saying he cant throw right now.

Simple, they have nothing to gain. They'd rather throw in a controlled workout, throwing to WRs they are familiar with.

There's plenty of tape to show he can throw, and he'll throw at his pro day.

That tape is college ball which has almost nothing to do with pro football.
