And, from what I saw at the senior bowl those 8.5" hands did pretty well!

Wilson threw for around 40 yards when he played in the Senior Bowl a few years ago, about 1/3 of what BA did.

Saw where the NFL draft site is comparing Allen to Case Keenum.

They are the very opposite of quirky. They use a fairly scientific process to choose the prospects that give them the best odds of winning games. Too much money is at stake for the NFL to be quirky about anything. The bottom line is that the things enabling a player to win the Heisman playing QB in college aren't necessarily going to translate to him helping a team win the Super Bowl in the NFL.

I would say some teams use a scientific method to choose QBs. The ones that don't draft Leaf, Johnny Football, Young, etc... Plenty of fails on QBs coming from some teams who seem to fail as an NFL team as a whole.

Well, the rumors were Wilson struggled pick up on the offenses.

I read somewhere on here I think, that Tyler Wilson wasn't very smart. I wonder if BA is smarter than TW

He threw for 106 yards but 40 of those came on two dump downs that the Rbs turned into bigger gains.  Too short and hands to small, may make a scout team.

BA and Tretola getting a lot of props in this article.  Scroll down and read it all, as it lists several categories for the players at the Senior Bowl, and both those guys are mentioned in multiple categories.  Got to say that I agree a lot with what this guys' takes are, having not only watched the game, but also the 3 NFL Network Practice shows in the week before.

Thanks for posting.
BA helped himself a lot at the Senior Bowl.
The physical concerns are there - I think he showed to a lot of the scouts he can overcome them.

"Bull market", "Poise under pressure", "Rocket arm".  3 good "awards categories" to be in.

Short of winning a few more games (and that's key) the kid did about all he could do this season.
