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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
