Scouting project -- anyone interested?

[Superman]

So we all have responsibilities, but most of us love watching tape on draftbreakdown and breaking down players. I know there have been suggestions that we do a collaborative project, but most of them have been a little too involved for most of us casuals to commit to.

 

My idea is we pick one player, and we all submit a "report" on that player. I think it would be cool to see a bunch of different opinions, but all based on the same film and in the same format. We can use the format I typically use for write-ups, which I stole from Dustin. 

 

It has to be someone who has plenty of games on DB, and I would prefer someone who worked out at the Combine. There are some controversial players, but I think most people have their minds made up on them (Taco, Peppers, etc.) I would prefer it not be a defensive back or receiver, since their tape is usually short and a lot of it is off screen. 

 

Anyone game? If we get at least 3-4 people, it would be diverse. More than that is welcome.

I would Superman but I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to contribute, especially when it comes to schemes, and fits, etc.  But I will anxiously await the reports!  Great idea!

I'm down. I love breaking down players but it can be difficult to do at times. But things have finally slowed down for me somewhat so until planting gets real heavy I'll be good.

James Conner I'm going to start a report on. His story is incredible battling cancer. I would like the Colts to select him. He wasn't 100% last season. This year I believe our staff can get him back to recovery. He is has tremendous size, strength abs abilities.

If I get time, I'd love to take a crack at it. I'm no you or Dustin but I think I could contribute. We'll see.

@SupermanSure, why not?  Do we each pick an individual player (i.e. you scout Watson, I scout Trubisky)?  Or we all scout the same player?  I don't have a preference either way, just curious.

James Conner needs to be our guy if so. Would love for us to narrow it down to one guy

Let's do James Conner. Any objections? And can everyone get theirs done within the next week or so?

Don't tell anybody I told you, but mods can see every post's edit history. So if anyone makes substantial changes for weird reasons, they'll be disqualified and won't be able to win the prize money.*

Yeah I'm sorry I'm gonna have to back out. I just got blitzed by assignments and other life responsibilities.

 

Sucks cause I actually really wanted to do this. Oh well.
