Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 2176503, member: 2585"] Right. My point isn't that it's not important in the NFL. Let's get at it this way: NFL team wants WR to be a good NFL route runner. [I]Nothing wrong with that.[/I] College team wants to win games and does so however they see fit. [I]Nothing wrong with that.[/I] NFL team dings WR for not being a good NFL route runner. [I]Nothing wrong with that - it's true according to their standards.[/I] College player wasn't being trained to be a good NFL route runner, but to be an important cog on a winning college team. [I]Nothing wrong with that. Player did his job according to his coaches standard.[/I] NFL takes a guy who runs good NFL routes over a guy who is faster, taller, better production, etc. [B][I]This is what I have a problem with. The NFL should see route running as a teachable skill since college isn't teaching it to their standards. Not as a relatively fixed metric like height or 40 time.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
