Eli apple, no issues huh?

huygens20 : 4/28/2016 9:55 pm
Scout that bob mcginn talked to disagrees.


"They were surprised he ran that well. I worry about him because of off-the-field issues. The kid has no life skills. At all. Can't cook. Just a baby. He's not first round for me. He scares me to death." Wonderlic was 21. "He probably has as much talent as anybody but he, like a lot of those Ohio State guys, is inconsistent," said a third scout. "He squats, and receivers run by him. He's more in catch-up mode than reaction mode. He bothers me a little bit."

Can't be much worse than some of the guys we ran out there, and at least everyone will eat well.
I'm upset with this pick for a lot of reasons  
illmatic : 4/28/2016 9:59 pm : link
but a male not being able to cook at age 20 would never be one of them.

And at least Apple's mom is funny.

This reminds me of the scout from Moneyball

Who said a prospect's girlfriend wasn't attractive so the kid must not have self confidence

In other words, it's fucking stupid

You have some nobody form a small newspaper ranking players. He is going to cherry pick any "quotes' he wants in order to justify his rankings. Who knows who these supposed scouts even are.

These is a reach but if you want to latch in to it have at it.

Are you this dumb?

He got 3 quotes on 1 player from scouts.

Again show me where I can find 3 definitive quotes about a prospect that discuss their attributes from 1 source.

You can't

He has access to people that actually matter. Not some random Twitter whore. This guy talks to actual scouts.

Read the quote. Not being able to cook qualified the previous statement

Has no life skills
He's a baby

No

You never answered my question

You replied with a red herring, nullifying your argument

You can't even write that he has no credentials, because you know he does.

He talks to people who create the actual draft boards that matter. The one in the nfl teams. He provides direct quotes from decision makers about players. Not his own random musings about a prospect.


We aren't agreeing to disagree, only if it's that you're wrong.

Wait I wonder if it is the same scout that is pissed off about that. Makes sense. Supposedly the NYS AG contacted Goodell concerning the matter and Goodell is conducting an investigation.
I don't give a fuck about his fucking life skills.

If you really feel like that was strong, relevant analysis, then you're entitled to your opinion. I will say the story was panned as an example of the lunacy of the draft eval process. Even Sports Illustrated thinks it was useless information, and they're the kings of useless content.

Are you being serious? I mean, the question is probably inappropriate but Schneiderman's got way too much time on his hands.

is one of the few things to be able to say something negative then I'm not concerned.

At college I had met dozens of people that didn't know how to cook or do laundry. It's not a shock. Some mom's do everything for their kids.
