Bengals, can I interest you in a Sam Darnold?
Yes. Make it happen.
Yep I can see us doing a trade with them if that injury is really serious.
Man I don't know Kyle thinks Sam is Steve young 2.0
Walsh picked gio carmazzi, so NFL coaches can make brain farts too.
Finding and identifying a great QB is insanely difficult, who knew.
idc what anyone says, there is an aspect of luck.
Montana was third round - if anyone really knew, he would of been #1 overall.
Brady was sixth round
Brees was second round pick
Manning barely beat out Ryan leaf for #1 overall (per colts)
wilson was a third round pick
Rodgers fell to 24th overall (I think 24th)
Mahommes went 10th and I believe trubisky went before him. LOL
even Michael Jordan was third overall.
Kobe went 16th overall (I think - somewhere in there)
steph had a few PG go before him
draymond was a second round pick
jokic was later in the draft
it's not easy to identify great players. Honestly the easiest one I've ever seen was bosa and even some were skeptical of him.
there is an aspect of luck that goes into it too. I think it's part of what makes sports great
What set Walsh apart from most coaches was his ability to see beyond just the physical and make great (not just good) decisions. Example was his NFL coaching fellowship for minority coaches. He did that just to make the 49ers better. Now it's adopted league wide. And I agree, he did have his share of luck too. Another great decision was Harry Edwards who helped Walsh avoid choosing guys like Reubin foster and Aldon smith.
Yeah, I've always felt like identifying the physical aspect was relatively easy, it's the work ethic, personality, leadership, spacial awareness, etc that it hard. Everyone processes the game differently.
patrick Willis is a great example of someone who saw the game perfectly and had the perfect physical attributes.
