Bielema: In the Super Bowl, I had four players - two 3-stars, a 2-star and a 0-star.

3 stars, 2 stars, and 0 stars doing work

D Thomas wasn't a 5 star? I know Peyton was.

That's simply because there are tons more 3*s and 2* players than there are 5*. Don't be fooled by those numbers. 5* players have the highest perentage of players that end up in the NFL.

I haven't checked, but I take this post to mean that Arky didn't finish strong today.

Thomas was a nobody. Went to GT as an athlete and all he did there was run fast and jump high. He didn't learn to run a route till he was in Denver. Kid is a physical freak though.

THERE ARE VERY FEW FIVE STARS.

THERE ARE NOT MANY 4 STARS.

THERE ARE AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF 3 STAR AND LESS PLAYERS.

THUS, THE PERCENTAGE OF 4 AND 5 STAR PLAYERS THAT END UP BEING STUDS IN COLLEGE AND THE NFL IS MUCH, MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF 3 AND LESS STARS.

THUS, IF YOU SIGN ALL 4 AND 5 STAR PLAYERS YOU RAISE YOUR CHANCES AT WINNING BIG EXPONENTIALLY.

PEOPLE WON'T EVER UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE frickING SUCK.

Sorry for the caps lock. I feel like its the only way to get that point across

Maybe if we add 12 unranked guys we can win a Super Bowl too
