LMAO, yes those are brilliant observations, definitely.@StickyBun said:
Unless the assessment is that Patrick Jones II and Janarius Robinson are good. Then it’s smart :p@VikingOracle said:
It just shows the draft is such a guessing game, along with evaluating players. These guys sounds confident in their opinions, but they honestly know nothing in projecting players. Some are better than others, for sure, but assessing guys from one all star game is silly.@MaroonBells said:
When I watched them all, Jamie Newman stood out to me as the 2nd best looking QB after Kellen Mond among the 2nd tier QBs.
Then during Senior Bowl practices something happened. Can't remember what it was, but I remember thinking he may no longer be draftable. A story, an incident, can't remember. But it wouldn't surprise me if what I can't remember is related to why he was released so early. I mean to be released before training camp means there is some serious flaw the Eagles wanted no part of. I couldn't find anything. I did stumble onto this article (watch the first two highlights before getting to the newman portion): https://www.raiders.com/news/the-next-wave-biggest-takeaways-from-the-2021-senior-bowl:
Quote:"While quarterback Kellen Mond from Texas A&M took home Senior Bowl MVP honors, I was even more impressed with the man who came in under center after him.
Georgia quarterback Jamie Newman stepped in and was able to make some impressive throws and show poise in the pocket on the Gulf Coast. Despite being sacked five times and throwing an interception, Newman finished the game with 114 yards and a touchdown and completed 71 percent of his passes, the highest completion rate of all quarterbacks in the game."
