At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

Anyway, Gil was one of the best.

RIP, Gil.

Gil Brandt was a pioneer in the development of how players were evaluated.

He was a giant in the NFL and rightful member of Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Many of today's scouts work off the methodology developed by Gil Brandt.

RIP Mr. Brandt.

Sad.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I really enjoyed listening to him on Sirius XM radio. He was still very sharpe and had an amazing memory.
