NFL talent scouts are no geniuses, maybe they should trust themselves less and the SEC more?


The NFL has become a "measurables" obsessed league.

It's how you end up with a guy like Gabbert as a top pick, and a guy like Connor Shaw fighting for a roster spot.

In fairness, that's how Mizzou does a lot of it's recruiting. That is how we got Henry Josey for example.

That said, guys coming out of Mizzou and other SEC schools have had another 3-5 years of the best training and coaching there is.

It just seems to me that the NFL isn't catching on to the fact that their "farm system" is actually working very well, they just need to pay more attention to it.

And, btw, I completely agree w/ your point about Gabbert and Shaw.
