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.
