Lessons in scouting

From Peter King today in his SI.com column....

If you're a football scout or GM, how could you watch the Texas-Texas Tech game last fall and not think Harrell belongs in the NFL? He doesn't have the arm of Matthew Stafford, obviously, but neither did Joe Montana, and neither does Drew Brees.

[I sense something amazing forthcoming...]

My humble advice (and I mean that; I don't study college tape at all) to those who make their living grading college football players: Watch the games.

[Boom.

I am going to try to unscramble this:

- King blasts scouts for missing the boat on a player that he thinks is good.

- King admits that he does not "study college tape at all."

- King suggests that scouts should watch COLLEGE GAMES to determine which players are good.

QED.]

Why are you knocking King? You seem to have a history of just taking thigs out of context and TRYING to be witty.

You are a miserable person aren't you.
