well, kind of interesting and yes, i should have been working but whatever.

i was trying to get some "industry" insight into what he thought about nawrocki's comments about newton as well as find out where nawrocki got his "info"....and troll a little :redface:. i might have come off as being a bit argumentative and disrespectful but whatever.

what was most interesting, though, was that (surprise!) he didn't actually talk to anyone at auburn. he talked to a couple scouts and a GM. nawrocki took that 2nd hand info and dind't just state it as someone else's opinion, but as fact.

i don't know much about this draft guy i was talking to, btw. it's just someone called "the sideline view"...i dunno. just one of the NFL draft twitter feeds i follow.

i'll post the conversation in the next post in case you want to read the thing.

@JoshNorris I respect Nawrocki the most in terms of being as close to what a league scout does as you will find.

@raynmannfldraft ray

because nawrocki did such a great job w/ newton. LOL the dude showed himself to be a narrow minded hack.

@raynmannfldraft ray

who was it nawrocki talked to to find out about cam newton being fake?

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

Spoke with at least two people I know. I confirmed with them they spoke to him. Auburn teammate said same thing last year

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

If you think Nawrocki is a hack for passing along info he got from people who did character background then you are crazy.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

I get character stuff from league people all the time. Sometimes I use it. Keep in mind character evaluation not complete.

@raynmannfldraft ray

so you still believe that crap?

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

Believe what? I spoke to two teams who did character work on him. HIs own teammates had issues w/ him at times last year.

@raynmannfldraft ray

did he talk to coaches? did he talk to anyone with a favorable view of him? if so, why didn't he share that?

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

That has nothing to do with the football evaluation side though. Most teams break down player character the same way he did

@raynmannfldraft ray

did you and him seek a balanced perspective? just wondering why it wasn't shared. not the spin he wanted?

@raynmannfldraft ray

you think he did a better idea than the panthers did? you trust his assessment over theirs? they probably saw thru the BS.

@raynmannfldraft ray

how much effort did he put into the football eval. focus on his eval was on his character and it was off base.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

You can disagree with him making the info he got public, but that info was out there. I had it before Nolan did.

@raynmannfldraft ray

was there any effort to balance or was there any interest in finding it. was it looking for dirt or what made him successful?

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

He did not talk to coaches. He talked to scouts and a GM and they got it from coaches.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

I don't know about balanced perspective. I heard same stuff and had him #1. Other teams heard it and had him #1. Point?

@raynmannfldraft ray

and that's all he talked to or the only opinion he got? finding that incredibly hard to believe.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

I respect his assessment. I don't have to trust anything he says or doesn't say other than I know he is doing it legit

@raynmannfldraft ray

was it coaches and players in florida or did they talk to ones at blinn and auburn?

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

NFL teams didn't "see through BS" because they do own work. We live in this media draft bubble and they live in real world

@raynmannfldraft ray

heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend...gotcha.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

you can minimize it if you want to, but you are trivializing the process because you might not understand it.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

Go back & read his football evaluation. Isn't that bad. Newton much better @ continuing to look down field than NN thought

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

To answer abt balance, read my article about this topic from last year and tell me what you think: blog.chron.com/fantasyfootbal…

@raynmannfldraft ray

"Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup." really? not bad? lol

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

The people my scouts talked to where at Auburn, not Florida because you know what they are going to say.

@raynmannfldraft ray

what the crap is that even doing in an evaluation? do they do that with everyone? there was bias

@raynmannfldraft ray

i think you did ok with your review of his statements, but understandably, you are going to be defending him. he's 1 of you guys

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

He's not one of my guys. I've spoken to him 4 times ever. I am just being honest. You have one perspective, I have other

@raynmannfldraft ray

if he or any of u are going to be reporting anything that derogatory, u better go and talk to the individual themselves.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

In case you didn't know... those things are in NFL evaluations all the time. You are used to reading draft writers

@raynmannfldraft ray

he made it public and stated it as fact. not opinion. he didn't say that is what some said. he said that is what he was.

@raynmannfldraft ray

him doing it without talking to the man himself, esp. phrasing it that way showed a lack of character. he's a character assassin

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

why are you so ramped up about this still? Are you an Auburn or Panther fan? I'm just curious

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

nevermind. I read your timeline.

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

you clearly don't follow Nawrocki's work or you would know that he has done that with other prospects in the past.

@raynmannfldraft ray

done what? attacked people's character without talking to the man himself?

@SidelineFB TheSidelineView

okay, we're finished.

@raynmannfldraft ray

you didn't clarify. meh...

btw...while it may seem that i'm still upset about all this, i've moved on. i was just curious about this guys perspective and just got kind of pushy. i didn't care about winning anything either. it's a stupid twitter conversation.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
