Has someone dug up Rudy Martzke?

Can’t believe a reporter is being called on ethics, even a sports reporter at that…

Don’t always agree with Florio, but I respect his take on this story…

And here you are, Mike, taking shots at your competition.

You might take Brady over Gabbert, but Giselle probably wouldn’t.

The draft is littered with players not dubbed “special”. It’s about production. I’ll take a 6th round Tom Brady and undrafted Arian Foster as my starters over #10 pick Blaine Gabbert and #12 pick Ryan Mathews.

I love how people who never really watch Florida State (nor tape) are co-signing this nonsense. The guy has the intangibles to be a stalwart DE. It could very well be the typical smear campaign, hoping that he falls to them (Packers, as they have zero pass rush outside of Matthews), knowing he is otherwise going before they select in the first round.

How much stock should you really put into the words of an “unnamed source”. I feel if a guy doesn’t not have the guts to put his name on it then don’t say it. I have seen a few FSU games and the eye test says Werner can play. Not all great players have that “special something” some guys just use their heads and work hard to become successful. I see those qualities in Bjoern Werner. If he continues to learn and grow as a player the sky is the limit.

I don’t understand the love for McGinn outside of Milwaukee. I’ve never been a fan, I tend to disagree with him a lot. Also I can’t get past 95-96 when he would kinda rip the packers all season just to basically say I told you so when they made the Super Bowl. Journal Sentinal sports page is weak

How is what McGinn did any different than your ‘report’ yesterday of an anonymous GM questioning Jarvis Jones’ health?

Ya…an unnamed scout talked badly about Janoris Jenkins, look how awesome he did his rookie year.

Scout (former NFL bust himself); “You got a feel for this kid?”

Reporter (never played the game); “I think he’ll be a bust.”

Scout; um, me too. Thanks.

How often does a “special” player last until the end of the first round. I know you can find special players everywhere in the draft but the odds drop significantly after the first half of the 1st round IMO.

Like another commentor said, I’ll take a guy that tries hard and get sacks but hes not special at 26.

As a Nole fan I agree with this assessment. Explosive off the edge and athletic, but nothing “special”.

This is why they call it the Silly Season.

I see alot of Mark Gastineau and Howie Long, with a little bit of Aaron Kampman…

As a Jags fan – alot of people down here are talking about him at #2.
You have GOT to be kidding me. He did not dominate at all in college. Good player – can help a team? Sure….
#2 Overall? not even close.

“He trys hard and gets sacks, but he’s not special.”.

Pretty sure alot of GM’s would take the first two without the fairy dust at the end.

Unnamed scout Agenda A: Let’s get this guy’s draft status to drop so my client get’s picked higher.

Unnamed Scout Agenda B: Let’s get this guy’s draft status to drop so our team has a better chance at picking him.

Cam Newton’s win/loss record is pathetic so he’s hardly a positive example to compare someone to.

Yeah, and these hacks probably didn’t think Tim Tebow was a legitimate NFL QB… oh wait, they were right about that one. Tebow’s horrible.

That’s pretty obvious about Werner. But at least he will be workmanlike. What’s the deal with Ansah? That is just silliness. He doesn’t know football, doesn’t like football, and he is 25 years old already.

DaMonster is DaMan.
