Mel Kiper Jr "McNabb is Overrated"
Start at 10 minute 20 sec mark
Well at least his sources say McNabb is. I like this podcast for draft info, but the first few minutes when discussing St. Louis Mel isn't very high on McNabb

Kiper
Kiper is a moron. The only reason he has a job at all is to keep us occupied during the off season. Thats it..
I'd be curious what Kiper's yearly income is...
Obviously, he has income coming in from ESPN, but are there any other sources of money for him? You’d think that if he were really that great of a talent evaluator, some NFL would hire him.
Nope
Why work for an NFL team? He does all the same things a scout does except gets paid more, gets recognition, travels less and doesn’t have to answer to anyone. Sounds like a good deal, why would he give that up?
Why would he do that though?
He’s like his own industry. If he joined an organization he would limit his ability to make cash. He also has put out for years a rather pricey prospect book.
He’s cheesy and essentially the Jimmy the Greek of the NFL Draft, but like Jimmy, he did wonders for growing the NFL and making the NFL draft an event instead of just the after thought it used to be.
True... the guy proves his worth in the late round when he's still able to talk in detail
Being able to discuss and report on hundreds of draft picks is pretty impressive
Nah
He’d have to quit publishing his book, and I’m sure ESPN pays him quite handsomely. I imagine it would be a pay cut for him to simply be a scout for an NFL team, and he may not have the skill set needed to run a scouting department.
yeah
it’s amazing that he’s been covering the draft since before I was born and he still sucks.

ahuh
Mel Kiper thought Ryan Leaf was a better QB than Peyton Manning too.
Did he really?
I was like 9 when that debate was going on so I don’t remember who was on what side.
But if that’s true than Kiper has lost what little credibility he had left
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Hindsight is always 20/20. Leaf was bigger, had a much better arm and was unreal in college while Peyton was (accurately for the most part) thought by a lot of ppl to be a choke artist. It is what it is, I highly doubt very many of you could do better than the guy.

Fortunately for the Colts
They did a LOT better than that guy and for the record I remember the consensus was that Manning was the better prospect
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
As far as being a choke artist
You clearly missed Ryan Leaf’s choke job (spiking the ball with two seconds left) against Michigan in the Rose Bowl
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
I'd like to know who these sources of his may be
It simply can’t be possible that they could know more about QBing than Andy.
Mel knows it, We know it,
Why doesn’t Andy believe it?
If you find yourself agreeing with Mel Kiper you might want to reconsider. Andy has won a lot more football games than Mel.
