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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
