I'm a professional baseball scout and the easiest thing in the world to do is to ***** on a prospect. You'll be right almost all the time. People have had jobs out here in Asia for years doing just that.
But I will tell you (and I'm just a bills fan, never played, don't know the game in depth like some on here do), that I was never more excited than when we drafted Josh Allen. My baseball analogy is Randy Johnson, everything was there, you could see it, but it never worked until he was twenty six or some such. But when it started to work, there were very few comparable talents.
I applaud beane as a GM because there were easier calls. He could have taken the easy way out, but he put it all on the line. That was an old school scouting call in a stat driven zeitgeist.
