Have any of you been watching any of the senior bowl practices? I caught some last night...I figure to have something else to talk about we can put our thoughts in this thread as we follow along.
Things I noticed. The QB from Pitt has been getting a lot of hype lately. I'll be honest I only saw him play once and he didn't jump out to me, but he had a pretty good practice yesterday. Ryan Switzer from North Carolina is a guy I wouldn't mind seeing us pick up mid round, and Glasgow I believe from Michigan had a great practice on the d-line.

I started out with a pretty negative opinion on Peterman. But I have been looking at a couple of his videos on YouTube and I'm starting to change my mind a bit.
Here is the DraftBreakown video of him in a game against Clemson last year. He is actually pretty good in it. Made some mistakes, had a couple of bonehead moves (like throwing into heavy coverage). But he makes a couple of really nice throws and they might have won that game if his receivers would have not dropped so many passes.

He made some good plays. But he doesn't look like he has a strong NFL type arm though. Some of these college QBs I watch, I think to myself that so much of what they do in college simply won't fly in the NFL.
EDIT: This afternoon I was reading some positive stuff on him. I'm probably dead wrong on this one :-)
Apparently the media is not thrilled with the way the Bears are managing the practice. Very slow starting I guess. Just sounds like typical media complaining.

Seems sometimes you have 2 categories of arm strength, bazooka's, Rex/Cutler, and noodle arms, everyone else. Arm strength is way over rated in the NFL, it has to be good, but it doesn't have to be nuclear powered.
I'd rather have a smart and accurate QB that can read defenses and throw his guys open. Great pocket presence is a must as well. I don't care about being a gunslinger. To me that's just a word used to make up for their other deficiencies.

Agreed. My minimum requirement is the ability to do a minimum of something like 30 -35 yds in the air, with decent velocity. Everything after that is gravy.

They're also upset with the Browns too...guess those butter cups are just gonna have to suck this one up.
