I admit the Scouting Combine is overrated

McCizoy · 02-24-2008, 11:32 PM

but Darren McFadden supposedly ran a 4.27 40 yard dash. He's fucking 6'1 215lbs and he ran a 4.27 40. That's craazy.

Purple Haze · 02-24-2008, 11:50 PM

Thought it was 4.3.

Chris Johnson ran it in 4.2.

on the other hand, mario manningham, billed as a speed receiver, ran it in like 4.65. Aw :(

McCizoy · 02-25-2008, 12:14 AM

Yeah just looked it up for myself 4.3 was his 'official' time. When he first ran it they gave him a 4.27 and changed it later on.

Either way I didn't realize that motherfucker was that fast. He outran just about every WR there. Chris Johnson is obviously no joke either....he beat Deion's combine record.

Rippy McSwine · 02-25-2008, 01:39 AM

Manningham didn't practice the 40, because he'll just run a 4.3 at his pro-day.

People put waaay too much stock in these 40 yard dashes.

McFadden is fast....thats why he never had to break a tackle or juke anyone his entire college career. He just hit the huge holes and outran every one.

i have a bad feeling about mcfadden

DannyC · 02-25-2008, 02:42 AM

thats jokes.

Wide Recievers arent that great this year anyway. Theres only 2 or 3 that might get high picks.
Lmao @ Josh Johnson (1-AA Quarterback) running a 4.4, fucking faster then most the wide receivers there.

A lot of people worry about the fact that McFadden cant power through tackles but a lot of teams are definately going to take notice of his speed.

You know what i fucking hate though? When you got the analysts on the side talking about players and shit like, "Hes not the fastest, hes not the strongest, and hes not the biggest but theres one thing he is, he's a football player."

Hardkore the MC · 02-25-2008, 10:47 AM

man...adding two decimal places is really unnecessary.

there is no difference between a 4.27 and a 4.33. at all. especially if you are running with pounds of equipment on you.

running in football is more about being fast enough to get by your opponent and smart enough to look for holes to explode through instead of pure running by niggas.

yea 40 time is overrated as fuck. they don't even be having they pads or jerseys on. Dumb nigga skip bayless said darren above adrian petersons class lmao. ap will run you over then burn you. mcfadden will just burn you ala reggie bush

Gorilla Nasty · 02-25-2008, 06:36 PM

LMAO, you guys are crazy. 40 times are not overrated, especially at RB. And how they break it up into increments is even better. It's indicative of top end, breakaway speed. I'm not suggesting speed in exchange for anything either. Sometimes it's the difference between a 15 yard first down and a 75 yard touchdown. Why would you not want that variable in your favor?

McCizoy · 02-25-2008, 07:36 PM

I agree as long as you don't put too much stock into it you gain a good deal of knowledge out of 40 times.

I meant the combine as a whole not the 40 yard dash. And I really only said that as a pre-cursor so some idiot wouldn't flip out and tell me just because he's fast doesn't mean he's going to be nice in the NFL. I knooow this

reggie bush or adrian peterson pick one. i am sure reggie bush is the fastest rb in the league. Bush will not run you over but will burn anybody. Peterson will run you over and still has the speed to burn you. Mcfadden not gonna be fuckin wit ap

Purple Haze · 02-26-2008, 12:30 AM

LT wouldn't run you over either.

and he won't get injury/worn down as quickly.

don't start comparing every fast rb to enter the league now on to Reggie Bush.. or AP.

Purple Haze · 02-26-2008, 12:33 AM

I think that whats wrong with the NFL today and sports in general.

The player isn't allowed to prove himself anymore, even before he enters theres all this prediction and expectations for the player.. the player ends up conforming rather than expanding.
