I find it odd that his agent and pipeline editors know his true ability, which should only be known to God.
Yes…which if you read the proposal I re-posted it’s one of the author’s (Ian) big issues. It’s so easy to pick out the best talent simply by looking at salary demands. If you see any amateur or international with high ratings and a low salary demand…guess what? He’s probably not a good pick. If you see the opposite you know your scout is wrong also.

It’s way too easy to read busts & booms via salary demands.

I know people don’t want to hear this, but it might be time to re-boot the system.
