People who drag up old threads for no reason like this should be banned from posting for the length of time between the last post in that thread and the person's post who dug it up.

BS. People who constantly bash others, and call them idiots for their opinions should be held accountable for their brilliance.

Actually, I thought Hali would have been a better player throughout his five year career than he's been. Does that mean I get a cookie? |

For the record, I was dead wrong about Hali. After seeing him, get owned repeatedly in the season that we set low bar for sacks in a season, I said that Hali would never be a legit threat, and that his only place he would be effective is coming off the left end. Everybody gets some right, and some wrong. No one is ever right or wrong all the time, and nobody knows what a players future will look like. GMs, and want to be GMs alike can only speculate off of the body of work that they have to go on, that's why it pisses me off so much to see the know it alls raking people across the coals for their opinions. It just makes them look stupid in the long run. It's not their opinions of the players, right or wrong that makes them look that way, it's the fact that they are too stupid to know that a fifth round pick may end up looking like a 1st, and a first may be out of the league in a few years. Even the best drafting teams have picks that you look back on, and say WTF were they thinking? I mean, who would have ever thought that Matt Cassel would be making Mark Sanchez look like a chump right now? |

Conversely, if a player is better or meets expectations, those who questioned the player is the one "raked" over the coals. It's a double standard. No, it doesn't. It makes them wrong. There are several reasons why players fail to translate to the NFL and there are several reasons why players with lower grades outplay their draft status. On draft day 2006, I stated that Jarrad Page would be a impact safety for the Chiefs, yet if you search the threads, there are tons of people that say he's camp fodder and won't make the team. Are all of those people "stupid"? No. For the most part, I'd bet none of them had seen him play and don't understand 7th round value. And once again, when someone is "right" in their assessment of a player, I rarely, if ever, see that member praised. Quote:
But it appears that Jacksonville was correct in their evaluation and the Chiefs were incorrect. It happens. Quote:
But Mark Sanchez has hardly been the definition of a "chump" to date this season. |

The dude has 75,000 posts on a football and he's got a strong opinion. Is the purpose of this forum to discuss football or to wait until someone's wrong, then throw it in their face repeatedly? |
