Whew, finally an analogy that is rooted in reality. Sports talk has become so juiced up by artificial opinions that it's damn near as anabolic as it is hyperbolic. That's why it's so refreshing to see a completely unbiased party sit down, watch some game tape from an entirely different sport during an entirely different era, run the percentages and probabilities, and analyze the career of a football player who has yet to take a professional snap as it relates to the career of one of the most transcendent basketball players of all time. I'll admit, I was a little hesitant to acknowledge the similarities between a quarterback who struggled with turnovers in the ACC and the unstoppable shooting guard whose picture undoubtedly sits a top the ACC's mantle, but I think I have to defer to the man who admittedly "doesn't know what he's talking about" here.

After all, who would be more familiar with Deshaun Watson's ability to kick in the door to the 'Hall Of Fame' before he even plays a game better than the Head Coach who almost certainly doesn't have an overinflated view of his talents just because of what they accomplished together? How could any franchise go with the nearly unanimous choice of Myles Garrett when his ceiling - due to no fault of his own - will basically be that of Sam Bowie? Why pass up a signal caller whose prolonged success is basically eminent - even though his style is questionable - when the only other alternative is "blowing" your franchise's immediate future faster than Len Bias? I know I'm the same person that thought contrasting one of the most skilled quarterbacks ever in Aaron Rodgers and Michael Jordan was insanely disrespectful to 'His Airness', but a 21 year old that wasn't even thought of as a first round pick until a recent National Championship run? Well, that's a completely different story!
