While no one enjoys admitting it, we all succumb to inherent bias in one way or another. As a draft evaluator like myself, it’s nearly impossible to shake anchoring bias, as our brain tends to give a first impression of a player far more weight than subsequent evidence. When it comes to NFL GMs and the most valuable position on the football field, we see outcome bias cloud decision making time and time again. When a team is winning, one is inclined to look far more favorably on all the decisions prior to then even if some were objectively bad.
Are the Bears turning Mitchell Trubisky into the next Blake Bortles?
