Look, i can understand lowering Stanzi a tad bit because i rep him so highly and it's a way for you to take a shot at me personally.
But 126. Really MD?
ESPN's Mel Kiper believes that Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi "deserves to be a second-round pick."
Whereas Jake Locker completed 51.1 percent of his third-down passes, Stanzi's rate was 59.2. Stanzi went 26-9 as a starter and 3-0 in bowl games, compared to Locker's 15-25 career record. But Stanzi's forty time isn't as good as Locker's. And Stanzi wasn't "supposed" to be last year's No. 1 overall pick.
Also, i like Kaepernick but 20 something spots ahead of Dalton and Ponder? Again, i feel like you're doing this just to upset me.
It's working.
Maybe in my Big 150 board i won't even rank Gabbert at all. How do you like that?
Cheers!
the guy has been opionated for years
i would think the personal aspect is all on you
cool it.
Everyone has a right to there opinion. And I agree with SWAG, I cant understand Gabbert so high, he is erractic and too alex esh.
Yeah, but even if you disagree about Gabbert so high and/or Stanzi so low, MD has enough of a track record to believe those are his honest evaluations. Not rankings based on some "personal attack".
His rankings may or may not change significantly as the process goes on, but he takes enough pride in them, that he is far more concerned with what he thinks will be accurate projections than the support, disagreements, or biases of others on the Zone.
Whether or not you agree with his assessments, I think he's earned that much credibility.
true, but he is good but even MD is wrong at times, so only time will tell.
Oh, I'm not saying he can't be, or even in this case, isn't wrong. I disagree with MD plenty.
But I think his opinions are genuine and not reflective of, or influenced by, others on the board. I don't think he ranks someone lower to "get back" at any one on the board, nor do I think he ranks someone higher because he's a "board favorite".
And on this issue, from the moment Gabbert declared, I've been on record saying I don't understand why a guy who was considered a second rounder at best for his entire career, suddenly became a top 10 pick and "the best QB in the class". Doesn't make any sense to me. I'm always wary of guys who make huge leaps up boards for no apparent reasons.
Be interesting to see how he looks at the combine. Really wish he was throwing though.
