Combine Chaos & QB Disrespect

First things first — we apologize for the technical difficulties during this episode. We battled some audio issues throughout the recording, but we pushed through because the conversation was too good to scrap.

This week we covered a wide range of topics from Chapel Hill to the NFL Combine:

We open with UNC’s addition of Western Carolina transfer QB Taron Dickens. We break down his record-setting completion percentage, what his production means, and whether his frame raises legitimate long-term concerns. Ronnie evaluates him from a scouting lens, JD gives the player perspective, and we discuss what real competition in the QB room could mean under the new staff.

JD shares his personal NFL Combine experience — including a hilarious Mike Tomlin story — and Ronnie explains the behind-the-scenes difference between formal interviews, the “train station” informal meetings, and the medical process that fans never see.
If you have ever wondered what really happens at the Combine beyond the 40-yard dash, this segment pulls back the curtain.

We debate how much testing actually moves draft boards. Can a strong 40 or shuttle time elevate a player? Can bad testing hurt even great film? Ronnie explains how teams cross-check athletic testing against grades and how “ghost lists” are created during draft season.

We close with a heated breakdown of On3’s Top 10 quarterbacks for 2026 — and the notable omissions that did not sit well with us.
Is Lenora Sellers being overlooked?
How is Marcel Reed not on the list?
Is Arch Manning truly the No. 1 quarterback in the country right now?

We debate it all — and call out what looks like pure rage bait.
