I always thought the way the media covered him was a one-sided. Especially ESPN. It's always: There is no doubt teams should be going after him! His durability is not a concern at all!

Thank you for writing something different than just speculating about collusion (which most people who use the word don't what it even means). I think there is also some psychological hesitation to not being able to project a QB as "your guy" for the next 10+ years. Which is somewhat ironic since executives routinely make short term decisions to save their jobs or win now. But that position just seems to elicit different decision making than others.

One question I have is what is a reasonable timeline for aggregating and evaluating value of trades for 1st round picks? Should you value the entire rookie contract (4-5 years), maybe weighted for the first few years, or should you use something closer to a 2-3 year evaluation that may be better for most transactions such as free agents.
