Disdain - I do not think it means what you think it means (In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya).
The combine is a fine idea and I hope lots of players are exposed to lots of coaches. I have a vague notion of having said that before ***checks thread*** because I did. My concern with it is clearly delineated. I raised the issue and was asked to provide specifics. I did. Some may think that it's fine to have ODP/Club scrimmages during tryouts and use the occasion to recruit players. I don't. Some may think it silly to suggest that a club might have, shall we say, dual purposes in putting together an event like the combine. Others may think it's perfectly fine to use an event like the combine to recruit. You know what - those would be perfectly reasonable opinions to hold. They don't happen to be mine though. If you want to "debate" the substance of the issues, I'm happy to do that. That, to answer your silly question, is "why I'm still in this thread."
