So, no credentials of any kind, no verifiable coaching experience, no documented history of showing the ability to identify players with specific traits and abilities that make him a better football player than the next guy?
By those standards, we're ALL pretty much "amateur scouts"..
Seriously, any random guy can set up a website, call himself an amateur scout, and promote his "list". What sets actual scouts apart, is that they do have credence in their craft, enough to the point that professional sports franchises pay them to locate talent.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
