I reread the post and you're right. You didn't mention draft position. My fault.

You argued draft position then you changed the criteria when that approach was reduced to absurdity.

If by "hall of fame" you mean roughly average and by "rookie" you mean second year player then you may have a point. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about.

Gabbert was a top 10 pick; Warner went undrafted and was out of the league bagging groceries having reached his potential. Gabbert has so much yet to be tapped into.

$20 mil for one season? Must be tough.

Blaine Gannett > Kurt Warner

My belief is that the fans are using Roman as the scapegoat to enable their state of denial over Kaepernick's mediocrity.

He's the best RB prospect in years. We'd be lucky to get him at 50.

If Rex, who worked with him last year and thus knows a lot more about him than we do, were for it then I would be. But getting cast off of 2 teams (3 if you count MN) in a 2 year span, all of whom are weak at WR, is a huge red flag.

He's never had 1000 yds or more than 6 TDs in a season. Best WR in the NFL is more than a stretch.

$8M/yr for Percy Harvin is INsane.

Except he wasn't a rookie and running was supposed to be a strength. We knew coming in that Orton had the mobility of a slug.

If she were a media figure or a political figure I would agree, but she's not. It wasn't even part of any news media publication or broadcast. It was some random nobody with no influence who posted a comment on her private FB account. There's no reasonable justification for the media running with it.

I'd like to sign Lupati, but if doing so were to cause us to lose Marcel Darius just like we lost Jarius Byrd then I'll pass. With RI and Woods we already have a good interior, and who's to say CR or Kouandijo won't step up?

Are there any other late round picks who struggled to make a PS you have your eye on?

Matt Moore Colt McCoy Brian Hoyer In that order.

I find it nothing short of hilarious that the biggest EJ homers on this board are ripping Orton to shreds for sliding short of the first down marker after defending EJ who did the exact same thing last year.

Sometimes when you punch a bully in the mouth he beats the snot out of you.

Seems rather prescient, doesn't it?

If O.J. can get away with murder, why can't these kids keep their trophy?

Dude, I really don't want to fight with you. I dig a lot of your posts, but you're really over the top here and you're misrepresenting what I said. Limp wristed was one of 3 possible reasons I listed, the other two being prone to extreme judgments and something else I don't remember now. I used to stand up to bullies on behalf of those who couldn't too. I just don't see this situation that way. I understand if others are offended. I don't understand the extent to which some are. And unfairly condemning someone, even if that someone is an ads hole, compells me to defend them. Apparently standing up for those being treated unfairly is in my nature. Everything else I have to say is in my last post.

You're better than that. If you're going to throw that out there then back it up. What's your case for Islam as "the religion of peace?"

I've been clear and consistent on this. I'm not arguing that RI is a good guy. I'm arguing that this particular incident has been blown way out of proportion. It appears to me, after the facts have come out, that anyone still harboring extreme condemnation of this man FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE is not rational. Plenty of people have said things I disagree with (you being one of them) that I've not addressed because you're entitled to your opinions. But I think the level of condemnation coming from some is completely unwarranted, and the dime store psychologists who have to pick and parse everything to rationalize their pre-determined hatred are malignant and I feel compelled to point out the flaws in their emotionally charged yet intellectually vacant arguments. Plus, self-annointed pop-psychologists pushing their mindless conventional Oprahesque bull **** piss me off. And "blame the victim" refers to a situation where a girl who was forcibly raped is blamed for "asking for it." Misappropriating that to apply to Jonathan !@#$ing Martin is in a lot poorer taste than anything I've said on the matter. And BTW, no man should ever say "wow, just wow." Ever.

I don't know anything about Richie's sex life, nor do I care. I'm not sure why you do. And I can't see how your daughter (or homophobia for that matter) fits into any of this...at all...even a little bit. Is Jonathan Martin your daughter in this bizarre hypo you've concocted? If so that's extremely odd, and kind of creepy. Apparently something I said hit too close to home to evoke this reaction. Whatever your issues that I've tapped into are, they're your issues, and everything you've said has far more to do with you than it does with RI or JM.

Based not only on what I've posted in this thread, but what I've posted over the last 5+ years on here, I don't know why anyone would direct that **** at me. Although I do think anyone who calls Islam "the religion of peace" is a !@#$ing (*^*&%^$^#and I'd be interested to hear anyone try to explain why I should think otherwise.
