I love the NFL as much as anyone, but the coverage of the combine is excessive.

kind of like how homer fans are "experts" at breaking down what's wrong with their team?

this is no different... what's wrong with people forming/having their own opinions of what they see on TV?

you're just complaing to complain

The difference is that the fans that break down their team, they watch them every week. So they are able to comment on what they feel is right and wrong.

I guarantee you that most of these know it all guys commenting on these prospects and acting like they are experts have never actually seen them play before the combine (save for maybe 1 or 2 games).

NFL's emphasis on athleticism.
Hard to separate players so things like this take greater importance.

Can't judge everyone on film because systems and competition is so different. This is the most "fair" or even proving ground to judge players on.

Still flawed as it doesn't measure how a player plays under pressure.

True but you could argue this is more stressful. It's only you out there, it's live, and every little thing is analyzed 50x over.

you're talking as if you know the pedigree of the tweeters like you read the tweets..and know the level of football everyone played

people on here complaining about casual fans watching more of "The Machine" and getting more casual fans into the game like it's a bad thing..
