Stafford May Not Go Combinin'

Matt Stafford has most likely opted not to participate in the upcoming NFL combine. This could be disastrous. Just check out Brady Quinn and Matt Leinart. Both of these QB's decided not to throw in the combine and they payed for it on Draft day, Leinart dropping 10 spots and Quinn plummeting under the sympathetic/mocking eye of viewers everywhere. I guess it can be difficult to get amped for the combine; the big stage, strange receivers, etc. However, these kids have got to get used to pressure if they're going into the pros. Now, some have called for Staffy to sit and stew while Sanchez and others get the call. But me, I'm taking the optimistic road. I'm guessing he's been in contact with the Lions and they've given him a little assurance he's their guy. That way, there's no need to risk anything at the show in Indy. Oh well, we'll see.
