Mr. Scot

There's the Duce Staley connection of course

Side note...

That'd be interesting.

My take on Levis (Richardson too) was based on the fact that I don't value physical traits higher than intangibles. I know a lot of people do these days ("You can't coach those things" tends to be a popular line) but I don't buy the notion that you can just easily take a guy who's a physical specimen and train him to be a quarterback. Plenty of prior attempts to do that have failed. Give me the guy who already has the quarterbacking skills over the guy you hope can learn them ten times out of ten.

If history is any indicator... Look for similar conversations next draft

Watching Young's post draft interview on NFL Network last night, Lady Cowboy Fan mentioned that she liked hearing him talk about how hard he was going to work as opposed to him proclaiming how great he is. I know it's not the way of the world these days, but old people like me still appreciate a little humility sometimes

Very possible

Gotcha. I didn't look that hard at the numbers. You're correct...sort of. I wasn't really looking that closely

For wherever he does go, this'll be one of those things that years down the road could be the subject of much laughter or much head shaking.

Some folks seem to think that the flipside of hyping up the guy we take is sh-tting all over the guys we don't. It's actually not required at all

So you're saying jokes about Young's name are getting old?

This is one of those times when a comma would be a pretty good idea

Even before things played out the way they did, Kaye was of the opinion that the team taking a tight end with their second round pick wasn't likely. It's a deep class though so they could still get a good guy later.

Truthfully, I don't care whether he's a saint or a son of a b-tch as long as he stays out of the way and lets the football people do their jobs.

Wasn't meant to sound like I was absolving him. Just pointing out that take is true because he said it himself.

I suspect we're in for numerous examples of "wow, Bryce is a really good guy" over the next several years.

I think the technical term for this is "full of sh-t". Nobody pays him any attention anyway though. He still wastes time writing massive walls of text but I'm not sure he's picked up on the fact that nobody gives a rat's ass.

I'm never a fan of using completion percentage as your primary measure of accuracy. They're just too many factors that can skew it one way or another. I know it's not really possible for a fan to do this on a large scale, but if you want to judge accuracy the best way is just to watch a guy's throwing.

Multiple analysts have indicated that overall this year's wide receiver class is nothing special. I'm always on board with reinforcing the front though.

3-4 vs 4-3 Is about your front seven. Once you get back to the secondary I don't know that it's makes any huge difference.

We're also supposed to have a super smart DC who can do more with less, so yeah...

We're running a 3-4 system, so...
