Your original argument was that looking at numbers was all that was necessary. All I'm asserting is you have to look deeper. What was the competition like? How did he play against the toughest competition? Did he inflate his numbers against scrubs only to disappear in the big games? Was he surrounded by superior personnel that made him look good?
 
The original question raised in this thread was whether the senior bowl was useless? QB isn't the only position scouts are looking at. There are positions where numbers mean even less. What do you do with a 3-4 noseguard that doesn't get hardly any tackles but eats up blockers so his linebackers can make plays? Wouldn't it be nice to see him and his competition go up against some of the best college centers in practice for a week to compare them? If numbers tell the whole story Terrell Owens is a great teammate. Despite his numbers, he's been found to be a cancer on every team he's been on.
