So getting playing time is now crucial
While not as relevant as it used to be, there are still uses for the Parcells methodology. Namely one thing it does well is filter out one-year wonders.

I dunno.

Parcells drafted Drew Bledsoe in 1992. Drew had 29 (played as a true freshman) career starts and declared himself for the NFL draft after he was a junior. He didn't have the requisite completion percentage, TD to Int ratio or career wins.

I do like that criteria though. Parcells was notoriously demanding of his QB's.

I remember listening to a Bill Polian interview on Sirius XM with Pat Kirwan and he went through his pre draft requirements for a QB both on the field and off. Interesting stuff.

So you are agree or disagree? It appears you are saying it does matter but it doesn't?

I didn't do a very good job of explaining myself, my bad.

I agree that it is a solid criteria but there can be exceptions applied to certain QB's when evaluating the metrics.

Apparently that is what Parcels did with Bledsoe.

Copium.

Baker was a second-year QB, not a 12-year veteran.

I don't think its ever that solid, or at least to me. If a QB won 29 games as a starter I'm not holding it against him.

But as I note, it does filter out one-year wonders which is huge IMO. The other benefit is that it places an emphasis on the mental aspects of the game over physical.

I wish I could find Bill Polian's interview with Pat Kirwin regarding this very discussion. While Polian was very complimentary of Ryan Leaf's recovery and the good work he has been doing he also mentioned that Leaf wasn't in their draft plans even if Peyton Manning wasn't available regardless of their need for a QB.

It is relevant to both threads.

You just don't like it because it paints Gina in a bad light.

Go mini-mod elsewhere.
