thats every college player..Raw talent and potential.Just need to coach them up.

true, but there are players that are more potential/raw talent and others that are more refined. drew carter for instance, had great speed and potential, but his ball catching skills were suspect. then you have players that come out and surprise people with their immediate impact, such as the rookie receiver last year for Denver, desean jackson, and the eagle's rookie this year. true they are generally higher picks, but that is the kind of impact we need at receiver next year. someone who is more refined ability than raw potential.

Excuse me, but who you propose we draft? If you dont know, we dont have a first rounder. So all that Benn crap goes out the window. Chance this kid might fall to us in the 2nd round. You got it confused kid. If Thomas have a good combine, its a good chance somebody might get him before us. He's also a great blocker cause of his size

Arrelious Benn is not a sure-fire 1st round pick yet.. we very well could get him in the 2nd round. Thomas has great measurables.. I haven't looked at his route running or hands yet.. I would guess his route running is poor though.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
