What the McGinn Article Says

[WUnderhill]

Unfortunately, a thread got locked and labeled as a false report recently based on a jumpy huddle member posting a tweet from a guy on twitter which referenced an interview from April 14. The April 14 podcast clip was used to discredit an article by Bob McGinn, who has been writing an NFL draft series for 39 years both online and in print for respected news organizations. McGinn’s article was posted today, April 21.

The podcast clip from April 14 was of the co-founder of the S2 test saying that the leaked scores for the test at that time were fake. How that gets applied to scores NFL executives talk about in McGinn’s article an entire week later, your guess is as good as mine. McGinn has been around a long time and has a lot more credibility than Landon on Twitter and panthergoat guy.

The McGinn article in question actually consisted mostly of quotes from current NFL executives, from the NFC and the AFC. Here’s some snippets:

”Multiple sources said Young’s total score was 98% whereas Stroud’s total score was 18%”

”When another executive was informed that Stroud scored extremely low, he said that it confirmed what he had seen on tape.”

”…executive said. “If you get a high score as a quarterback it’s not saying you’re going to be a great player. But if you get a low score, it’s 100% - none of the quarterbacks that got a low score became good players.

”The benchmark is 80. Eighty and above is good. Stroud was 18. It’s incredibly terrible. He’s going to be off (some team’s) boards. He will not be picked by those teams.”

”Despite the S2 results, a survey of 16 evaluators asking them for their choice as the quarterback with the best chance to bust showed Stroud behind Richardson and Levis. The bust vote count was eight for Richardson, five for Levis, two for Stroud, and one for Young.”

 

So I ask you. Which of these things is more likely?

1. Bob McGinn, journalist for many decades, worked for Green Bay Press Gazette, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The Athletic, etc. is lying through his teeth about everything and made it all up.

2. Said guy above did in fact talk to the NFL execs, 16 evaluators, etc. and they all got their stories together about what the test scores were and lied to him.

3. Landon on Twitter and panthersgoat are full of poo.

Lol the guy who has to create a whole thread anytime something even remotely negative comes out about Stroud or positive about Young.

We live in an age where people are considered believable because they have successfully signed up for and maintained a Twitter account.

Never in history has the bar been set so low for "reliable sources."

McGinn is a reliable source.

The Twitter comment is valid though. Used to be some sources could basically be summarized as "guy with a website". Anymore it's "guy with a Twitter".

Which of the 3 things are you asserting as true. Either McGinn is full of poo, all the scouts and executives got their stories straight to deceive him, or Landon used a really dumb argument based on a weeks old interview and you ran with it because you couldn’t help yourself. Say which one please.

I throw in a 4th option. Somebody made it all up and put Bob McGinn’s name on it.

Ok now pick one of the 4.
