What the McGinn Article Says

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.

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.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
