Chron: Kubiak eager to talk to prospects

Its not just football, its how the guys carry themselves...It's like a dog and pony show...This could make and break guys, but in the end talent will prevail...I would inf Vick will be there...Anywho, good to see Reggie McNeal going there and showcase his talent...Will he be a QB or Reciever...

 

I can't wait for the combine. I watched it last year on the NFL network. I'm sure they'll do it again this year. You can see people get measured, lift weights, run the shuttle, 40, throws, etc.

 

Is that like NBA LP? I really want to see the combine this year.

 

Vick will be there I believe, they were talking about him moving up as a wide receiver today on the morning show on 610.

 

What annoys me is how Leinart is not included. He's rated at least as highly as Vince Young, and my impression is he going to be drafted higher. Is it too hard for McClain to say there are 3 extraordinary prospects?

 

It's a standard channel with DirecTV. I think it might be available on Dish Network too, not cable though.

 

why would the texans draft lienart? he's david carr with a weaker arm.


edit: meaning, vy is a totally different type prospect.

 

Well I think if the Texans lost faith in Carr and start with a new QB, they would look at both Leinart and VY. If they were seriously looking at VY as a stud QB prospect, they'd have to look at Leinart, who is rated a bit higher most places I've read. All 3 are stud prospects this year, I think McClain is showing his bias by not mentioning Leinart.

 

There is nothing more annoying than the same question being asked over and over and over and over and over and people continuing to give them the same answer. I've tried, it doesn't work.

 

Huh? I didn't ask any question in that post and you've never even answered that question re: Leinart. I already know the answer: bias. You seem to prefer attacking posters in threads like these.

 

The only attribute it appears ML has over VY is familarity with a pro style offense and more experience throwing from the pocket. VY has a stronger arm, has a stronger body, is faster, has taken fewer hits (healthier), and is much more elusive. The upside on VY is completely different, and much higher, than ML.

Maybe it is just me, but after what they showed on the same field with VY, Bush and ML would be the ones to have something to prove at the combine. Granted being a great college player does not mean the player will be a great pro player, but there is no question there was a superior college player to them on the field.

 

Well then why is ML rated higher? Are you sure VY has a stronger arm? I don't know about that. I don't see why Bush and ML would have more to prove than VY. After all it's VY's stock that has recently risen. Bush and ML people have been saying are great for a long time.

 

People, including myself, have answered that question many times. Since you think you already know the answer (by throwing out a personal attack), you're obviously not reading them.

 

I was attacking criticizing mcclain not another poster. In response to your 2nd attack, i have actually read and responded to them.

 

Why attack McClain? It's Casserly that's saying it.

"There's been no guarantee that we'll take Bush,'' Casserly told me. "We're wide open. We're wide open for trades for the pick. The way I see it, here are our options. Keep David Carr and take Reggie Bush. Keep David Carr and draft Vince Young. Take Vince Young and see what we can get in trade for David Carr. And trade down. We're going to visit with people at Indianapolis and take our time. Nothing will get done, I wouldn't think, until the week before the draft.''

 

I can't wait until the draft is over. I hate that I have to avoid this forum more than the D&D.

 

The source of your criticism is irrelevant. VY supporters have constantly been asked if VY, then why not ML, which is what you were criticizing McClain for. You know the answer.

Plus, as Major pointed out, it was Casserly doing it too.

Of course, that probably helps your argument.

 

Yes, but Leinart is a stud prospect as well. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the reasons VY is mentioned more than ML.

Agree on the Casserly thing, he's dumb.

 

Ridiculous that he wouldn't mention ML, especially since that's who New Orleans apparently wants. Maybe they would be willing to trade for the top pick.
