the source?  Rhule himself

Well, I can't find anywhere where Rhule says this. The article says Rhule says this on the radio show, but the radio show is Joe Person and he admits he's guessing. "That felt like the Hurney presence" is not definitive. It's supposition.

I have a hard time believing that a professional scouting department that has been scouting a player for months/years is going to be swayed by the Combine one way or another, unless the player just flops or something. This is probably even more true about prospective QBs. Scouts pretty much know what they can do before they even step on the field of the Underwear Olympics. That being said, there may be somewhat more emphasis for a guy who essentially only played one season at the position. I think it gives us unkowns a ticket to private workouts, but TL already has that ticket so what he does at the workouts are vastly more important than the Combine, and this can probably be said for most players except the cream of the crop! 

Where I totally disagree with you is that I don't believe that you get into this numbers game with a guy you believe is a franchise QB. I don't care if it's too 5 or not, if your guy is there, you take him! You don't get cute, and you don't get lost within minutiae of the trade valuation chart!

Lance has plenty to love! The question is whether that raw talent can be refined into a professional QB worthy of a high first round pick, and higher than another outstanding prospect (Sewell being the guy at his position comes to mind)!

Love it or hate it guys are made or broken in the combine every year. Ali Marpet to Jeremy Chinn.  We also see it every year with wrs. John Ross anyone?Whats nice about the combine is if you love a guy but he falls a bit because of the combine that can be good.

We’ve been trying to mend the line since Gross retired. Unless we are guaranteed the best QB this year, which we aren’t, we should go O-line.

Nobody is "guaranteed" the best QB. Higher picks do not equal better players, only better prospects. Any QB taken could theoretically end up as the best QB from this class.

I agree to a point. Sometimes guys from those small schools fall through the cracks, Marpet being a prime example. This isn't happening with Trey Lance. Everyone of import knows who he is.

I disagree. I think if Lance performed poorly in the combine it would absolutely hurt him.

That's not my point. I've already said that if he bombs it will hurt him, but believe it or not, anyone that performs poorly at the Combine will hurt them!

Any QB taken could end up being a bust. Gotta go with the most sure thing and if that is the #1 LT vs the #3 QB from the same draft class you go with the former in my opinion.

Maybe I read your post wrong.  I thought you said that professional scouts with years of research wouldn't allow the combine to deter their thinking. Maybe I misinterpreted.

Look at last years draft, Who is the best QB from the top 3, Burrow, Tua, or Herbert?

      Interesting that people are calling for our DC'S head, when we never would have been in the game if it wasn't for the defense.  Never should have gotten to OT.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.
