Why all the sudden reliance on this QB "RULE"?

[THATHURMANATOR]

I am sure there are tons of QBs that are good that didn't follow it. Just another useless thing if you ask me.

It's just another way for people to try and act like that have some way of predicting if a QB will be successful in the NFL, when there is absolutely no way to tell for sure.

Do the math on the rule and see what you come up with. I know NFL scouts who follow it without exception.

Still doesn't make it correct or nearly a great predictor of success. Scouts are like Weathermen...sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong.

The rule is as important as the hand size

I agree. WORTHLESS.

The rule is an idicator of who will NOT work out much more than it is an indicator of who WILL work out.

It is not hard and fast, but its historical data is pretty solid.

Name all the 1st rd drafted QB successes that did not pass the rule

compare that list to those that did...


now look a that percentage for success


It's not a guarantee, but it is a way of reducing the odds of failure.

but before you discount the rule research for yourself and then post your findings.

What math is there to be done? How would I "do the math"?

I also am not saying that it isn't a somewhat helpful tool to use as a guide but people are acting like it is gospel....

Name all the failures.... How could I? How do I obtain college win loss records? Who has that time to waste?

There should be a rule about how worthless someones post is.

Then how do you know the rule is unreliable ?

there are some links to some info in my sig. That's a good place to start
