"Scouting Assessments are not correct more often than incorrect"

^ Are those not your exact words?  If you want to say you didn't mean to say that, or that you misstated your position, that's okay.  But if you stand by that, then, as I illustrated, you are saying scouting is worthless.  And that's what confuses me about your position.  You say you never said scouting is worthless, but you said they are wrong as least as often as they are right, which inevitably means the scouting is worthless.  

My argument is with people who say they would never take a running back in the first round.  I think that is a stupid rule to follow.  The decision has to be made based on a combination of positional value and talent level.  And you have stated that you agree with that.   But for some reason you keep arguing.  

I'm not arguing anything.

You're just being stupid.

Explaining to you how often positive scouting assessments don't work out to be good draft picks doesn't mean scouting is worthless.

The bolded statement above is 100% bull [BLEEP].

You are trying to falsely equate a statement about efficacy rate to an absolute statement of worthlessness. 
That doesn't make a lick of sense. 

You don't give up trying to evaluate something because you get some of them wrong, Marty. Why the hell do I have to explain that??
