Since we have had Eli,I have not paid much attention to the QB section of the combine. I was surprised that they are having the QB's throw without any pressure. I am not suggesting they get touch them. However, how about getting in their face. I mean big deal that they are accurate throwing a pass without any pressure. Am I wrong?

You can check the college tape for how they handle pressure.
It is too risky to have players get in these QB's faces to simulate pressure. What if a player trips and blows out a QB's knee? That could cost the QB millions and there would certainly be lawsuits. If they want to see how a QB handles pressure they have plenty of college tapes to refer to.

I heard something on the radio the other day about how, back in the day before the NFL was as big business as it is today, the NFL didn't want to supply the players with all the equipment needed to dress everyone in full pads. The players didn't own their equipment from college, so they performed in shorts. They don't do it now because they want the historical comparison, even if it makes more sense to be in pads and the NFL can afford it. I found it plausible.
I don't like Mayfield, but he embraced that approach.
