Once again...the stats are misleading (or are they?)

[Sez.EJ]

Luck is overhyped. and overrated. The media is just drooling over this kid. Watch him against the stellar college defenses.. he looks average. He is a #1 pick.. but I would not break the bank to get him ..no way ..no how. all drafts are a crapshoot. he's not worth what it would take to move up.. you have to have a team around a qb for him to have success. Just ask Colt. hut hut..jailbreak.. slam in the dirt. if you don't trust him .. try archie manning.

Very tough guy to pass on unless you're sure you've got your franchise guy.

I don't think it's a trade issue, or probably isn't. If Seattle or Miami get a shot at Barkley, I think one takes him and the other takes Jones. If you need a QB, you don't trade the pick because... well, it would be idiocy unless you hate the guy.

Maybe Matt Moore catches fire in Miami. He looked fantastic on Sunday, even better than his numbers. But Seattle is taking a QB for sure. Redskins, too.

I don't necessarily disagree that if Barkley is there and you don't have to trade up to get him, you have to take him at this point, you don't trade down.

But again, my bigger point is, Shumur will just ruin him anyway. You need a guy good enough to make up for how much Shurmur sucks, I think only Luck is THAT good.
