And we expect these people to rank players correctly & without bias?

This Brad Crawford guy ranks Jeremy Pruitt & his 13-12 career record above:

Mike Leach and his 229-139 career record

Kyle Whittingham's 131-64 career record

Gary Patterson's 172-70 career record

Pat Fitzgerald's 99-79 career record

Seriously, how can you expect these people to unbiasedly rank players when they can't make a simple list using any logic whatsoever?

There's other complete feces stains all throughout this ranking, but the Pruitt thing seemed the most egregious

I don't understand why you take them as unbiased.

They have the exact same qualifications to rate these players as I do. They're not pro scouts.

Im not sure why anyone would be surprised at this point. They have Marcello and Simmons as national reporters. And then all of the rejects they bought from scout and rivals. None of these guys have any special skills. Ive wrote for a site myself on Scout and pretty much all you do is write word for word what the kid says and fall inline with what the national experts say about certain kids. They allow people to inflate their egos and thats how they make money off of these folks. Its like a pyramid scam for dudes in their 30-50s.

There is a common saying about "opinions", after all....
