The biggest reason? I have a family. The time commitment away from home to be an NFL scout is insane. You might be home two days a month during the football season. It's not for someone with a family. Is it hard to be an NFL scout? No, not especially, provided you played or coached football at the collegiate level, took classes in physiology and biomechanics, are a very proficient communicator (both oral and written), and take a 3rd party course in writing for scouting. Then, you better either know somebody or put your application in and hope they like what they see. You know, kind of like any other job that requires some baseline knowledge beyond 10th grade (oh, you wouldn't know that). Aside from taking a 3rd party course in writing for scouting and knowing a regional scout/director or GM personally, I do have all of those prerequisites. I don't want to be an NFL scout. I don't pretend to be an NFL scout. They are privy to information I would never have access to about players. That private information is usually the reason for highly touted players falling. Even guys like Mike Mayock didn't know until during the draft that there were issues with guys like Derrius Guice. You can't fault someone for projecting him higher based on ability. You participate in the same exact activities I do on an annual basis. Somehow, you believe you are suddenly above the rest of us that do this. The only person full of shit, staylor, is you. Quit being a pretentious little bitch. |

In any case I hope Veach is right and they're all good. However, regarding Watt - I do trust my eyes and I've seen just about every Aggie game this kid has played in and IMO, he MUST have done something really spectacular at the combine because he is the Phillip Gaines of Safeties. Talent? Yes. But...(Plug in your most memorable Phillip Gaines moment here)

I don't know anything about NFL scouting, but I can see it having similar traits to baseball scouting which for years was stuck in its old moronic ways detailed in moneyball (We shouldn't take that guy, he has an ugly girlfriend).
I can really imagine scouts being opposed to analytics like PFF because it devalues their "skill" and I can see how in general the process encourages scouts to try and stand out and "see something others have missed". I imagine getting lucky and banging the table for a little known guy who turns out to be a superstar is one of the better ways to advance in your career. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that scouts are actually shit at their job and not adding any value, I just don't know if we will ever find that out for sure. |
