6 foot 7 and half holy Moses he's a monster

Too Tall Irving. Has a nice ring to it! Maybe, he can live up to that name!

Nice one!!!

You ain't kidding and he should only get better. He was a steal!!

You ain't kidding and he should only get better. He was a steal!!

This line from McGinn's column probably sheds light on that: Irving was kicked out of his high school in Los Angeles and later was dismissed from the team at Iowa State.

I also like Too Long Irving

My favorite quote...

“People say, ‘Anybody can run behind that offensive line.’ But you watch Darren McFadden, who rushed for 1,000 yards last year, run behind that line and it’s a little bit different. Or Alfred Morris.”

I love the Marinelli defense. I'd really like to see what he can do with a stud pass rusher and a healthy JSmith. I hope Rod's here a while.

(Free) would still be a starter on pretty much 31 other teams.”

Another major heist by our scouts and Will Clay

He has been unreal, hasn't he? Where is Jeff Ireland? Does he still have a job in the league? It's so nice to have someone doing the scouting that's not only reliable and consistent, but maybe in the top 3 in the entire league.

I wonder if Bob McGinn has stopped using the scout who told him this about Dak Prescott last year:

"He's got no accuracy, got no vision," said a third scout. "I don't think he's an NFL quarterback."

Just goes to show you how wonderfully random NFL scouting analysis can be.

Here is a collection of NFL scout comments I found published by Bob McGinn when we previewed the earlier Packer - Cowboys game:

AFC scout: “Like him. He has second-round talent but probably will go in the third. If you get him in the fourth you go, ‘Wow.’ Big guy. He can run with the football and create on his own, and he’s got a good arm.”

NFC scout: “I don’t see it at all. He’s got a good agent. He’s got no accuracy, got no vision. I don’t think he’s an NFL quarterback.”

AFC scout: “He ran that team, motivated that team. He held guys accountable. Depending what you do offensively, he could be a backup. I just don’t see the vision downfield. He’s a very streaky thrower. There will be a place for him in the league. I’d take him over Tim Tebow, hands down. In the mid-rounds he’d be a great pick.”

AFC scout: “I think he got better in the pocket. His accuracy got better. He’s a great kid. He’ll fight and work. It may take him a year or two to (become) Tyrod Taylor. He runs like he’s a running back, and sometimes he wears down. Competitive son of a gun.”

NFC scout: “I just don’t see enough arm. Late-round pick.”

AFC scout: “I really like him. The guy’s just a winner. He was the entire team there. He’s got poise, patience, focus, field vision, makes quick decisions, good arm strength, nice touch. Worst thing about him was his O-line, which was awful. Stands tall in the pocket under pressure. The whole team revolved around him.”

AFC scout: “Developmental type at best. He’s a fifth-rounder.”

AFC scout: “I don’t like him. Great kid. Not good, great. His personality is better than Logan Thomas’ but that’s who he’s like. He’s just a big guy that runs and is a product of that system.”
​

For all we know, one of those NFC scouts could be a Cowboys scout.

Anytime I see quotes from anonymous NFL scouts, I realize why there have been so many terrible draft picks made over the years.
