New Story: Watson says draft experts like Kiper and McShay are "irrelevant"

Watson says draft experts like Kiper and McShay are "irrelevant"

The talking heads in the NFL are busy trying to forecast where players will wind up in next week’s NFL Draft, and with each forecast about former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson there seems to be more criticism than praise. Full Story »

Why do people even care about these clowns? I wish I had a job where I got to speculate all year about a single weekend, make predictions that are usually way off, correct myself after the event, and get a big fat salary to boot.

No accountability, but still get paid. Just have to be somewhat photogenic and get along good at school visits. Why do we never see film of kiper and mcshay when they visit schools?

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Why do they need to be accountable?


Apr 22, 2017, 12:10 PM

They have opinions just like everyone else. Their opinions are for entertainment purposes only. What is so hard for people to understand?

Kiper and McShay get their info from talking to "sources" in the NFL, and closely associated to the NFL. Do you really think a GM would give them specific/accurate grades they have on players? They are always playing games with who they like, flase information, even avoiding inverviews with players they have highest on their boards.

Tom Brady was panned as slow & average arm. If you went back and watched his film, he had the ability to play best in crunch time.

That's the thing you can't teach. How do they handle pressure.

How is it that Tribusky gets a pass for not bringing his team back to beat Stanford, but Watson's two games against Bama don't matter?

I can't stand the NFL Draft drivel that spews every year from the after the Super Bowl - the Draft.

Deshaun would have to tune that rubbish out.

It's annoying to the point it causes me to not be interested in the least bit. Mel looks like some used car salesman from some deserted western town about 1979 and the sight of McShay is not any better.

Well it makes me even more proud of our National Champion QB to hear him say that people like McShay and Kiper are "IRRELEVANT" when it comes to what ever they have to say about him. DW4 gets it!!!

I totally agree with Deshaun. It just their opinion and I wouldn't put to much stock into it.

Misleading headline.

Bad headline. It takes it out of context and makes...


Apr 22, 2017, 9:40 AM

him sound bitter. He is just saying it doesn't matter in the end what people say. He is not saying that they are personally irrelevant. He is talking big picture and what he does in the NFL. That title is kind of a little dig on Watson's attitude, but that title is misleading.

Ask THE NFL GM'S what they think about Kiper and McShay, especially Bill Polian, lol !!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Exactly. If they were any good they would work for a NFL

team!

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The NFL wouldn't pay enough. He gets paid more at ESPN.


Apr 22, 2017, 11:22 AM

It's not like an NFL scout would make more than he does at ESPN.

Kiper & McShay are idiots. I keep reading reports of comparisons between Mariota and Watson. 100% of the time those reports keep referring to Mariota as the more accurate passer. Ehhhhhhhh......that depends on what you are looking at. Mariota played at Oregon in 2112, 2013, 2014. Mariota's completion % for those respective years was 68.5, 63.5 & 68.3. For his career it's 66.4%.
Watson's stats were 67.9, 67.8, 67.0 for his 3 years. For his career he was 67.4%. SO WHO'S THE MORE ACCURATE PASSER?????

The other issue that I have never heard mentioned by anyone is, who was the competition that these stats were accumulated against? Go look up Defensive stats for 2012, 2013 & 2014. What you will find is that PAC 12 defense is rated roughly the same as a 1st grader's brownie troupe. Stanford played D, but after that it was tiptoe through the tulips with bonbons and a glass of Chardonnay.

I say again, Kiper & McShay are idiots

Great article. DW knows who he is and what he is capable of. McShay and Kiper are nothing but over paid ESPN windbags. It amazes me how they are considered experts when neither one has played a down in College Football or the NFL that I'm aware of. GO DW and good luck in the NFL Draft.
