    Default Senior Bowl....Are they looking at the same person?

    We all know that Bently and Green are making the Ragin Cajuns look good at the senior bowl practices this week, but the comments from some of the writers around the country on Green just make me want to say "hmmmmmmmmmm". One says he "stiff" and another says "fluid". One says "crisp routes" and another says "rounding his routes a bit"....I know, one says potayto and the other potahto.....but

    Ladarius Green Senior Bowl practice reviews

    Posted on January 26, 2012 by Tim Buckley from the Daily Advertiser


    Ragin' Cajuns cornerback Bill Bentley isn't the one only making his mark during practice this week in advance of Saturday's Senior Bowl in Mobile.
    UL tight Ladarius Green is too, based in part on some of these media observations:

    Believe it or not....scouts can have different perspectives on the same player. Some scouts are looking for a certain something, and some scouts are looking for something completely different. This is not rocket surgery. (Favorite new saying I heard from someone at work)

    So what a minute.. you telling me that people have different opinions? So one scout could watch two quarterbacks and thing one will be better than the other? Wow.

    So the pats weren't saving brady till the 6th round because they wanted to save money on his contract?

    Or some scout actually thought Ryan Leaf would be better than Peyton Manning?

    Keep in mind some of the media observations are shared by people with a blog and a dream of becoming the next NFL draft expert. Meaning not all of these people really know what they're doing or talking about.

    Also, keep in mind that a lot of these scouts are just regurgitating something they heard another scout saying earlier in the week. One thing I've learned in talking to scouts this week is that if they haven't really seen a player, they can make it sound like they have by using really vague terms to describe the player.

    That being said, most of the discussions around Bentley and Green this week have been very positive. Of course, every scout is going to find things each player needs to work on, but for the most part, people have liked what they've seen from each player.

    IMO, that's how the vast majority of callers on sports talk (and probably most fans for that matter) form their opinion, not just these "scouts." They watch ESPN or read the paper or go online and go with the populist opinion. Basically, take what Skip Bayless says and believe the opposite.
