Quote:Pirk looking at box scores is not indicative of pro prospects. Logan Thomas sloppy footwork, great arm strength, accuracy and decision making: bad.


This is why you can't look to a box score and assume you know what you're talking about.

 

Clowney vs. UCF 2 tackles.

 

Thomas Niles (DE UCF) 4 tackles, 2 tfl, 1 sack.

 

Where's Clowney's tier? This is why just throwing out Box Score stats is ridiculous. If you watch them play Clowney is clearly the better DE of the two, but statistically speaking this Niles guy did better against a better team. 

 

The thing is, I'm sure Pirk knows that already. 

 

I get the sense he's hesitant about Bridgewater being the guy, which is fine.  I like Bridgewater and think it's probable he'll be in that slot, but I'm not sure at this point either.

 

I just don't know why he's reaching this far (random box score comparisons) to make that case.
