Sure, Carmella "looks good." But can she be an NFL quarterback? Joe volunteers to be the center for practice!

Joe knows beauty when he sees it. But like the old cliche, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover,” so an NFL quarterback should not be judged like a Mr. America contestant.

Apparently, per Adam Schein of Sirius NFL Radio, co-hosting “The Blitz” today with Solomon Wilcots, that’s the problem with NFL front office types and — if you believe the propaganda coming out of One Buc Palace — Bucs executives.

After fielding a call about the Bucs’ plans in the draft, Schein put in his two cents.

“I think [the Bucs] will take the best defensive player on the board which fits their scheme or Josh Freeman.

“I would not draft [Freeman] in round one but I think someone will.”

Wilcots then described how NFL scouts can be fooled.

“[Freeman is] a real fine young man and can throw, he has the tools. But you put the tape on, there were inconsistencies. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The tape doesn’t always match the tools. Can he be coached up?”

Why coach up a project when Josh Johnson is being groomed?

Folks, the tape doesn’t lie. And when one factors in how Freeman couldn’t shine in a conference that was loaded with garbage defenses, how in the world can anyone expect him to succeed in the NFL?
