Joe has 1 NFL season and zero experience building a team as well. I get it, he played with Chase which means I'd ask him about the guy's work ethic sure, but not who he'd pick since he's going to be biased.
But again, if Tobin ignores all the experience from the actually great players that came through here and listens to his 2nd year QB over them, then he is even more of a moron.
*sigh*
You literally took the opposite of what I was saying wrt Burrow from my post. For the 37th time, Joe should not be making the decision, BUT, the team with the smallest scouting department in the entire league should find anything and everything he can give them on Chase invaluable. That’s literally all I’m saying. If the situation was reversed, and there was a stud OT coming out of LSU that Burrow played with would you not be interested in what Joe thinks about his work ethic, his character, what he’s like outside of a zoom interview, etc? Ofc you would, because all that stuff matters. Especially with a top 5 pick. Obviously all the prospects that are going to go that high are amazing players on the field, but there’s more to it than that when you’re dealing with human beings.
But I do agree, that the back and forth is pretty pointless. As far the “sides” go, I’ve said all along I’ll be very happy with Sewell, and I will stand by that if we take him. I just hope you, and some of the other people that have been screaming for Sewell the loudest will do the same if we take Chase. The board has been pretty miserable the last few weeks with all the bickering (I’m guilty myself but honestly I didn’t start defending taking Chase until it became pretty clear that’s the way the team was leaning), and I sincerely hope we can move past all this after the draft.
