Im ready to quit my job and become the next Mel Kiper 1) "Everyone" is not saying that, some reports have surfaced that some teams have Floyd ahead of Blackmon. 2) Typically, you wait to say "I told you so" until after what you said would happen actually happens. 3) What public flogging are you prepared to take if your prediction-turned-I-told-you-so doesn't actually materialize?

DC Grid Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Wow...a preemptive I told you so. Always a bold move but when you combine it with the fact that Blackmon: 1 - will get taken ahead of Floyd, 2 - is widely considered light years better by the majority of draft experts, and 3 - will have a far better career this is just an amazing post. I don't particularly mind Floyd beign selected by the Bills at ten, but if Blackmon is on the board this isn't even a close call. Blackmon isn't Megatron or Larry Fitz, but he is a complete prospect who at his worst will be another Anquan Bolden. Floyd on the otherhand is an injury prone player who has yet to live up to his full potential and might have a drinking problem. That's an awful lot of red flags to overcome.

Im ready to quit my job and become the next Mel Kiper I'm not knocking you, but the draft hasn't started! Meaning, in reality Floyd might still be behind Blackmon I guess we will all find out in 48 hours Edited April 24, 2012 by KollegeStudnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenty Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 blackmon is more of a team player and is more in control of his outside life of football. He lived in OK, not a lot to do out there. He seems more humble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCity Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I like Floyd. Solid player, prototypical size. He is far more of a question mark than Blackmon. It, IMHO, is not even a question of who is the superior WR at this point. Blackmon has the smarts, hands, speed, toughness and leaping ability to be a fantastic WR for many years to come.

jimmy10 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I hate to say I told you so.... But that one team everyone thought would win the Super Bowl next February? Well, I've been saying from the beginning that another team would actually win it. Book it, done. I am a wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray808 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Freud would say that your subconscious is telling you to say Floyd > Blackmon so that you can be satisfied two fold when the Bills get Blackmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
