It was a mistake for Ryan not to play AND it was a MISTAKE FOR MIAMI TO PASS ON HIM.

Can somebody explain his logic? If it was a mistake for Miami to pass on him, how is it relevant AT ALL what Matt Ryan did? Miami should have taken him even though he didn't play in the Senior Bowl, by the man's own admission, so why should Matt Ryan have risked himself playing in the Senior Bowl game? So it sounds to me like it's NOT a mistake for Smith to skip the Senior Bowl - it's a MISTAKE for Chiefs fans to dismiss him as the #1 overall pick just because he's not playing.
heard it

everyone is insane when it comes to QBs, even the 'scouts'...all based on some mythical idea that drafting a bad QB will ruin your franchise forever..."oh noes, it risky!"

trying to win and failing is worse than not trying to win, according to these people and fans

won't even mention the completely made up notion of 'value'...can't draft a QB #1 if kiper has him ranked #6...why?

'value'

made up numbers, with no real world corollary...pure frontier gibberish
