Quote:The article reads as a bit begrudging, like he's experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance. Probably stems from his desire to not be wrong about the guy.
 

 

Quote:He tried his hardest not to give Blake a pat on the back.  Sports "journalism" at its finest.
 

 

Quote:This. People did the exact same thing with Cam Newton.
 

 

Quote:The best part was when he said he thought Manziel's play was "stronger" and "command of the huddle" was better. The actual play wasn't indicative of superiority in a measurable way, so he had to go to talking about his feelings.

 

Classic, I look forward to years of him downplaying Bortles' success.
 

To be honest, I don't really trust/value Gabriel's take all that much. He is a former GM and I'm certain that he could talk circles around me when it comes to scouting, but I hardly ever agree with his takes on players. I just thought the article was relevant to the conversation.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
