    Scout or Shinola?

    Finally, someone with graphic representation of bullshit Bob gets from his scout sources.

    A scout told @BobMcGinn he saw Mitchell Trubisky as a "Marcus Mariota-type athlete." Yeah so ... No.




    There are ways to calculate similarity scores that do not rely on you remembering someone vaguely athletic and of a similar skin tone.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    WTF is Trubisky's vertical? Does he have a problem jumping over matchbooks?

    Not sure how you have the same person with such a disparity between vertical and broad jump. Maybe he is 5'6".

    It's like they screwed up his vert numbers. It makes no sense.

    I don't think the combine is the be all end all for scouting, but this is just not good.

    Honestly though, I doubt Tom Brady or Payton Manning were much better...
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
