You said...

"As far as not doing anything at the combine, where's the competitor in you?  Where's that side of you that says hell yes, I'll throw, I'll out throw all these other QB's?  When I leave here, there will be no doubt who's the best.  Give me the guy without fear.  If you're the first overall pick, you will obviously be going to the worst team in the league.  How you gonna handle that if you're afraid to do combine drills?"

So does it or does it not matter to throw? Did you apply these same standards when Luck chose not to throw? Where was the competitor in Luck? Why didn't he throw against other QB's to prove he was the best (there was debate RG3 could be better as weird as it seems now). If he was going to the worst team in the league how could he handle that if he was scared of combine drills?

Come on.  Nobody thought RGIII was in a class with Luck.  The Colts torpedoed a season to get him and RGIII was never even in the conversation.  Luck is/was just a different animal. 

Now, if you had said Sam Darnold didn't throw, that's different.  I would've asked what he was afraid of.

Murray is not even the consensus best QB prospect.  And no matter what people say in the press, there have to be doubts about him.  He has to have a specific offense.  He has never had to read a defense. Why is he acting like he has nothing to prove?   Why wouldn't he be anxious to throw?  Do actions have a way of speaking louder than words?  And among the guys I hear talking, no more than half of them have him ahead of Haskins, who went out and threw and killed it, saying of course I'm gonna throw.  I'm a QB, it's what I do.

So the Cardinals might be taking him.  What does that prove?  They screwed the pooch just a year ago.
