In Response To: Seriously... (Justin N.)

I doubt he will profit from it. The only people likely to take him up on it will be the top Giants. If every Giant took him up on it sure.

There are many other ways to determine the best players, all of them being quite labor intensive and still having their own inherent faults. My favorite pet idea is the test to end all tests. Unfortunately, creating it would be a behemoth undertaking. Even if it was made few people would commit the time to take it. I imagine it would take at least as long as the SATs and probably longer. Then there would be how to grade such a test as it wouldn't be a multiple choice only test. Lastly, there will be people who argue all the information on the test isn't necessary to know to be one of the best. It also doesn't mimic live OtB play which is a drawback so...
