re: How meaningful are STARS? Player evaluations

I just don't buy into all the hype of what makes one guy a five star and the other a four stars, Sam and Reid were both four stars and will both go top ten in next years draft. And then you have a kid like Chris Davenport who had a big frame but played in 2A and was all-star gets a 5 star rating and will never set foot on the field as a starter. Talent is talent but I don't see the point in following who has the most five stars and which class is ranked the highest when some of the most unproductive players in the past 5 years have been 4 and 5 stars.....shepard, loston, davenport, dickson, allen, copeland (DT to FB), and cant forget JJ. I'm not trying to hate on these guys but I'm not buying as much into these ranking and star systems as everyone else. I think these rivals and scout class rankings are meaningless 1-10.

Yep and all 5 * have talent. That doesn't mean they will all become great players at the next level, just that they have the talent to do so.

The problem is the way you are looking at it. Its not meant to be a guarenteed fact. Its just an evaluation at a certain point in time. As someone else mentioned the difference between a high 4 (like Ried or Montgomery) and a low 5 is insignificant.

Look at the top 10 classes over several years and compare it top 10 rankings 2-3 years later.

And Clayton, Spears, PP7, Doresy, Landry, Bowe and countless other 4-5 stars have been some of the most productive players.
Its not 100%, think that it should be is why you think its meaningless. Its not meaningless, its a guide. nothing more, nothing less.
