Quote:Well, you are correct that my "tapes" are internet videos from television feeds. I do not work for any NFL team nor BLESTO, etc so I wouldn't have access to coach's tape. I don't think I've ever read anyone equate youtube to coach's tape. Maybe you are just taking offense to the term, "watching tape?" I am open for whatever else you want to call it.


And again, I agree with you that I don't have near the knowledge of an experienced professional scout.


It doesn't mean I have no idea what I am talking about. If it takes a professional to have an opinion, I think we should all agree to not vote since we aren't profesional politicians after all. We should never disagree with a politician.

Your example isn't really relevant. Professional politicians is an odd term onto itself, sadly. I wish it would be examined greater..... They don't have qualifications at all, other than what they pull out of the air.


The fact is that all of us "draftnics" who watch all of this "tape" have very limited knowledge in comparison to scouts, coaches, and the FO. Tape, interviews, practice sessions, talking with opponents, coaches, etc., all important stuff that the draftnics have a very small perspective on.


It may not take a professional to have an opinion, but as in most things, it often takes one to have an educated opinion.
