I don't consider many if anyone that works at ESPN an "expert".

And that includes all sports and shows.

Eh...I wouldn't quite go that far. I really value the opinion of Jaws when it comes to QB's. Really, they're not any worse than some of the people at the NFL Network.

Kiper knows his college players and can be quite informative from that perspective....now when it comes to translating that knowledge to NFL team needs and strategy thats where he fails

Yeah that's a good way to put it.

Ask him what punter is coming out from bohunk state and he knows who and the vitals.

Ask him who in the NFL needs a punter? Not so much.

I mainly listen to the ex-players, and out of those, only the ones that were actually worth a poo.

No one cares what Tim Hasselbeck has to say for example, hes a scrub.

Then again yea, the NFL Network has the Falcons as 2008 NFCS champions........just wow.

Anyone knows about college players as long as you watch them. He has access to everything. You give a lot of people all of that access, and they could do his job as well. All he can do is get on ESPN and yell at McShay about how wrong he is all the time. I tend to agree with Todd more, but that may be because Mel is annoying.

Right but anyone can do that, if they did it and researched it as a full time job.

Plus those guys have a lot of resources to work with, and other people in their ear.(such as statics,history etc)

The hardest part is the actual Charisma needed to convey the information, and make it interesting for people to view.

Football is easy to know and understand, and easy to tell who is good and what is good, and even why.

Playing it is the hard part, at least playing it at a high level is.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
