What garbage analysis? By the look of things it seems I was 100% right.
No.
What happens is you make 1,000 predictions.
997 of them are wrong, and then you go upping the 0.003% that so far look good (and even those aren't bold predictions to begin with) and then you claim a victory and Nostradamus status.

Predictions aren't the same thing as talent evaluation. My evaluation skills have been damn near flawless. And I've done it by not cosigning the consensus but rather by going against it. I was the first to call out Markelle Fultz as a bust and Jayson Tatum as the #1 prospect from the 2017 draft. I was also the first to say Mayfield was trash and Lamar Jackson/Josh Allen were the top QBs in the 2018 draft.

There are only so many drafts. If I'm continually uppin threads where I was right, then I must have a pretty high hit percentage.

No, predictions are not the same as talent evaluation.

But they're closely linked. And when it comes to evaluating talent, the entire point is to project how they might perform at the pro level. So when you're sitting here patting yourself on the back because Josh Allen dinked and dunked his way down the field 46 times against the single worst team in the league, you're clearly ignoring a lot of context.

With regard to Baker Mayfield, let's keep things clear. You claiming Mayfield would be a bust wasn't exactly some out of the way bold call.
Mayfield projected better than that bum Cleveland had in Manziel, but Mayfield was still an undersized, standing way back in a shotgun formation, not super athletic quarterback who should have realistically gone in the 3rd or 4th round as a project.

Baker's problems are not mechanically driven but rather the fact that he's slow to process information at the highest level. Over his 2 years in the league he's continuously ranked near the bottom in time to throw.

But you're not here specifying why Baker's struggling. You're just saying "he's gonna be a bust"...."he doesn't have the tools"....upping the thread saying "see, he's a bust" and that's it.
So where's the evaluation coming in?

The problem isn't that Baker can't run like Lamar Jackson. That's not holding him back, plenty of QBs in the league don't run. The problem isn't that Baker has a weak arm. His arm strength is fine.
The only tool Baker lacks is the one between his ears.

So I guess long rambling incoherent posts is your response to me being proven right.

Josh Allen threw for 300+ yards and ran for 50+ yards scoring 3 total TDs. If that's what dinking and dunking produces then so be it. Tom Brady dinked and dunked his way to 6 super bowls BTW.

Go and read my draft evaluation threads. I go in depth there on why I thought Mayfield would be a bust. Obviously I'm not regurgitate that in every post where I'm going in on him. And stop with the excuses for Mayfield talking about him being a 3rd or 4th round prospect. The crakkka went #1 overall. If he went in the 3rd or 4th round you wouldn't have heard a word about him from me. The only reason I made these threads is because he went #1 overall dumbass.

Mayfield going 1st overall was as foolish as the idea that Lamar Jackson should have been a WR.

Easy to say now white boy. I was saying that in 2017 when most of the NFL world was on Mayfield's balls and telling Lamar he should be a WR.
Here you go with the racial comments. And I'm not even white.

This is why you're a terrible poster (and arguably an awful human being).
You resort to personal attacks when you run out of ideas and arguments that stand on their own.

Well you're definitely not black. I can spot your type from just the way you post. And FTR it ain't my fault you choose to ignore my second sentence which was the actual response to your post and instead just focused on two words.
