Sure he is. But you knew that already too, I suspect. Like others have said, this isn't an exact science. You can find twice as many accurate assessments of players (both good and bad), and it's all just blind luck anyway. I'd be a great evaluator of talent if I could opine on the entire draft as it's happening. All I'd have to say is, "Wow, that guy's gonna suck", and chances are I'll be more than 70% correct. Nobody wants to say that and be right though. They all want to be right about how awesome a player's gonna be when the odds aren't in that favor. Makes 'em seem smart and prophetic.
One mistake is thinking he's going to be writing something that's complex and in depth. I think he tries to write to the very casual fans, which is why there's never much to glean from reading his articles. There are many more casual fans of the Rams than there are die hards like we have here. I think he's writing for the former. The increasingly acerbic and virulent tone he's been expressing lately is really the only thing that really bothers me.
