I think it’s important to understand that scouting players is extremely difficult, and even the best scouts miss as much as they succeed. These scouts are looking for traits and using that, along with interviews, pro days, and combines, to try to paint a picture of a player who could be successful in the NFL. However, that doesn’t guarantee success it’s not an exact science 

Yeah, Steve thought Mingo was going to be a player, and he turned out to be a bum. That’s just how it goes

They don't like his evaluation of a player that they covet. Instead of addressing what he said, they try to discredit him

Maybe but he has hit and he is right about Tet

You want him to be right about that but kinda early to be making any judgments on his career considering the draft hasn't even happened yet.

This guy believed Kealoha Pilares and Ryne Robinson were the "real deal." He doesn't know poo about evaluating players.

In fairness, he played with the guys, his job today is a lot different than it was back then.  Yea, he knew ball but he wasnt breaking down tape and prospects the way he is now.  He always was probably trying to be a good friend/teammate rather than breaking down why those guys are dogshit.

Smitty has a pretty poor track record when it comes to WR evaluations. 

But Michael Jordan was one of the worst talent evaluators in the history of the NBA(it would be hard to argue he wasn't THE worst) and John Elway was a pretty piss poor GM.

Just because you play the position well doesn't always mean you can evaluate the position well.

      Nick Scott

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
