The Combine measurement involves a radar gun put in just the right spot to do a point measurement on an out route. I have issues with that, as it's extremely specific, and from a physics standpoint a football throw is significantly different from a baseball throw. It's a good data point to have, as all well-measured data points are good data points, but people get a bit religious about it sometimes and that's how you get folks believing that DeShaun Watson has a weak arm when he has nothing of the sort.
As for the college measurements I do, as well as the pro measurements, sophisticated video and graphics editing software and techniques that I've developed over the years make it quite a bit more than just an "eye-ball" test, though I will admit that there is SOME amount of room on the very margin for judgment, and like anything, that judgment is going to be better when informed by long hours and long years of experience. Which I have.
Thanks again for the insight
