    The NFL is a business.........in business it's dumb not to remember your mistakes and learn from them and use them as motivation.

     

    "Dwelling" is for those with nothing else to do.........which certainly isn't the case for people running an NFL organization.

     

    Now if you are......let's say........ a secretary at OBD.......and the biggest decision you make that day is what to have for lunch............yeah it's probably not productive to think too much.:devil:

    I buy this enboldened actually...Motivate them how exactly...... to try to scout better, evaluate better, choose better. Okay I would think everyone would be on board for that..in other words continuing betterment of their evaluation skills in hopes of drafting better players. Fine. Having said that there is NO Way a person or organization is going to be successful 100% every time pick the player whose skills will be have been PROVEN to not be a bust at the next level.....show me One organization who nails every one of their picks every time there is none. I'll say it again it isn't an exact science if it were then no team would draft busts. But all do. To want to do and be better should be a given but WITHOUT the fans whining and weeping gnashing of teeth about every unchosen pick or opportunity I tend to think the folks in charge already want to do and be better especially because for they unlike us their jobs are on the line based on those decisions,.

    There's a certain amount of luck that comes into play as well. Nobody can predict how a QB (or any plater) will develop over time. I don't think Belichick ever expected Brady to be as good as he is, despite what he might say in interviews.

     

    Allen has all the right tools, and with good coaching and a solid team to back him I think we can continue to see success. 

    welcome to 2BD. Outside of the resident football team I love Boston city. GREAT Town.

     

    In regards to the topic I'm reading a lot of excellent perspectives. Yes it is a gamble picking just about any QB prospect...I happen to live where they drafted Ryan Leaf #2 behind a guy named Peyton Manning or in that same draft class the Packers chose a DT named Vonnie Holiday 2 picks AHEAD of a guy named Randy Moss. A person could go to just about any draft class and see how imperfect the scouting evaluation process is....Is it frustrating years later to see what you could have had...clearly for a lot of folks yes. Is it spilt milk and a futile ultimately fruitless exercise again YES...Im squarely in the get over it camp ...it reads like so much whining to me..its weak its not productive and does it better the future prospects of any other draft pick again NOPE. the draft  isnt and will never be an exact science.
