But there are plenty of breakdown videos, and there are multiple scouting reports from various sources, as you well know. At least I hope you do. And if you've watched those and learned anything, then your opinion is more educated than those who have not. And it's really that simple. Your judgement is still worth questioning, but it IS a more educated opinion. I can't believe anyone wants to argue that actually knowing something is not more valuable than NOT knowing something. I mean, really? |

I have a theory that Andy didn’t want these Hardman/Conley type WR’s anymore bc he just couldn’t put them to use. They had speed and that was all.
Hyatt was very similar to those guys and Mims to a lesser degree. The offense has changed and Andy wants these guys to run routes well and get YAC in the middle of the field as well as sometimes being able to threaten deep. |

Some guys are informed and know their shit pretty well, some don't. I didn't mean to really get into that, I've just always hated with "watch the tape" guys get high and mighty. I didn't mean to single you out at all, it's not really the "watch the tape" saying it's just that some people....we'll they're idiots. |

Would've preferred Pickens/Hyatt. We got Moore/Rice instead. I am looking forward to posting comparisons during the regular season with great interest

There are definitely those people. Those people also either ignore needs completely and go BPA no matter what or they ignore BPA at a need level and just want the next highest need they've come up with.

I think WRs and DEs show traits pretty apparently even in highlight videos. Even the negative traits show. Just look at the clips posted by Staylor in the respective threads for Rice, Thompson and Coburn. All of them show clear strengths and obvious weaknesses. No, they're never going to provide as complete a picture as area scouts have, but it's what I'd call 'low hanging fruit'. When you can get 80% of the way there through 10% of the time, effort and energy, that's pretty useful in terms of informing yourself as a fan. Now front offices need to put in that remaining 90% of the work because it's that 20% in the margins that can create a champion. But strictly as fans, we can get a fair bit from 2-3 minute videos online. Except for OL. I can't get anything from watching OL clips. DB clips are typically not terribly useful for me either. |

And from that you extrapolate that I think all anyone should do is look at a highlight clip? You are some kind of special. If you DID look at the videos posted at the top of the page, it ought to at least give you pause that your criticisms posted entirely second hand are at least not as concrete as you seem to believe. You can see multiple examples of THAT in those reels. When you look at full game reps, and you can go to Youtube and find them, as well as more detailed scouting videos, you can see a lot of the questions answered, as well as what Rice does indeed need to work on. But as you can't be bothered, then no, your opinion is not equally valid, because you have decided to be willfully ignorant. |

No, it's not everything, but if you have an idea of what you're looking at, you can at least get a general idea without a ton of time. And all any of us are here, is a fan. And some are more educated in specific areas than others. I learn a bunch every offseason over in the draft forum by listening to other's opinions and going and looking at guys myself and comparing notes. But I don't think anyone that doesn't bother's opinion is worth as much as anyone who DOES, regardless of whether I agree or not. |

I'll sit back and watch it all unfold when he actually suits up for a game in the NFL. I promise that if he busts that I wont bump the thread and call you an idiot. But I imagine if he even has Mecole Hardman levels of success you'll bump it and call me an idiot because that's your life's destiny. |

If he does Moss people, I'll be happy, because he plays for my favorite team, The Kansas City Chiefs. Will you? Judging by your presence here in general, I wonder. |
