I believe Direckshun (or someone) had asked about whether to invest in this Guide. Well, I took the plunge and today I received the Guide via email. I must say, that some of the breakdowns/analyses are quite interesting.
For example, for QBs some of the charts/tables include "stats" like:
- Rate of being pressured
- Accuracy under pressure
- Explosive play percentage
- Catches requiring adjustment percentage
- Accuracy for various distances
- 3rd nd 4th down proficiency
- Redzone accuracy
- Etc
Then, for each QB there is a write up with commentary on the following:
- Background/character
- Athleticism
- Arm talent
- Passing technique
- Passing instincts
- Additional info
- Summary
As to the accuracy of Optimum Scouting's reviews, well, that's a matter left to determine in 2-3 years, but it does appear that they've attempted to quantify things as much as possible. In any event, I'm pretty impressed with their publication as it certainly makes for some interesting reading (if you're at all interested in the draft). You might find it worth the money (I think it was $10) to get this thing.
(And no, I have no affiliation with Optimum Scouting.....other than being an impressed reader.)
Just thought I'd share this assessment with you. :arrow:
The Guide is 220 pages, so it's got a lot of material contained.
