Packers GM: "Analysts are clueless"

[pstall]

the problem with the televised part of the draft, its all BPA mentality. Where as the front office's, at least the good ones, are plugging in specific guys and don't reach because they have a system. You know, smart teams.

Hurney was a journalist.....look at him now...LOL

I'd rather be some 10 year gm for the panthers then some wannabe huddle poster.

NFL network has some former GM's that do analyst work for them. Oh and Mayock is still the best.

PFT covered this story earlier and pointed out, it wasn't analysts that made Jamarcus Russell the first pick in the draft or Tom Brady a 6th rounder.

[Mr. Scot]

Hmm, what do you get when you multiply clueless by ten?

Fans.

I'd rather just live on the beach, surf when there are waves and watch the Panthers win football games on Sundays.....oh well....two out of three ain't bad...:D

[Mr. Scot]

Peter king and the rest are just plain old journalists with tape and some extra padding.

Scouts and gm's do this for a living.

Who would you listen to?

Gun to my head? GMs. They have better resources.

But the point is valid in one sense. Even with the advantage of all the resources they have, GMs still blow it plenty of times.

Neither side is really in that great a position for casting stones.

Thompson is right.

But, I think there are a lot of people who draft players who don't know what they are talking about.

Having Millen on ESPN really does hurt their credibility. I'm surprised that the world wide leader doesn't realize that.

Remember what he was before he was a GM?

[Catalyst]

Everyone is clueless when it comes to the draft. GM's, fans, analysts, coaches. It's 100% a crapshoot in the end.

yeah he worked at fox right

[Mr. Scot]

I hate the term "crapshoot".

It's an educated guess. Still a guess, mind you, but it's not like there's no logic to it.

[Mr. Scot]

He was considered the heir apparent to the throne of John Madden, the next great analyst.

That is, until William Clay Ford hired him and he actually had to be accountable for his opinions.
