I'm all in favor of picking a decent QB, but the number of people who are suddenly lifelong Carson Wentz experts is amazing. How many of their games were even televised? How many people ACTUALLY watched any of them outside of a 1-AA playoff game after he had been hyped up? There's so much commentary from fans about his ability to read defenses, ability to change plays at the line of scrimmage, leadership skills, etc. I wonder if those same people would be screaming from the rooftops for us to draft
Johnny Chung if he were available.
I have watched every game that Hackenberg has played. I have seen almost all of Cardale Jones' games and Connor Cook's. Maybe a half dozen of Goff's. One of Lynch's? I feel pretty confident in my opinion of Hack's game (don't like it). Cook and Jones I'm not as confident. I'd be talking out of my lower orifice if I tried to tell you I knew enough about Goff or Lynch to have a valid opinion. Some 1-AA guy that plays multiple time zones away and missed a good chunk of the season? Please.
The funny thing is that the self proclaimed gurus like Mayock will even readily admit that they had to go back and watch tape to figure out the kid. I assume that all the message board yahoos have access to that same tape and have spent days poring over it. They have also spoken to his coaching staff and rival teams about the kid. They wouldn't just be parroting something they read on
www.draftstuff.com which parroted what was written on
www.tmzsports.com (and what will likely be copied verbatim by Chris Landry).
