What is that comparison supposed to prove? Some of those guys are pass rushers, some are run stuffers, and some are both. Being selected to the pro bowl means very little anymore.

You are still hung up on height, which was never part of anything I had to say.

It wasn't directed at you specifically BM. Several here have said he's undersized and thats just not true at all. He's the same size as the elite DT's in the league.

I wasn't ripping on you.

You clearly have no idea how to do anything but criticize other posters. You can't prove one thing I said is wrong. You only have your own opinion, which is not in line with mine. I don't mind others disagreeing with me, though I will obviously defend my points. But you? You just wait for every opportunity to say something snarky. Maybe if you spent a little more time thinking of something meaningful to say, people might respect you more.

I don't think he could do anything to regain respect at this point. He's a smart ass wannabe know it all with nothing better to do than lurk here and wait for people to say something he doesn't agree with. Then he rolls out the same old tired high and mighty holier than thou routine. He probably gets little satisfaction out of anything in his (most likely) miserable existence, so he attempts to derive meaning and purpose through his psychic accountant Internet persona.

Of course he will disagree with all of this.

Wannabe know it all? Far from it. In fact, I readily admit that I have no way of knowing as much about the player prospects as the people who do it for a living. I even know less than lots of genuine gold-plated wannabes that pretend to be GM's. As I mentioned before, I came in here to follow the progress of the draft since the bad storms had totally wacked my satellite and the draft thread was inundated with a handful of know-it-all's that believed they knew more about drafting than the Saints front office. The constant *****ing and moaning about every pick the Saints made and how their personal pick made so much more sense was beyond irritating. And believe me, I was not the only one getting feed up with it.

I never said he COULDN'T stop the run.

He's not a run stuffer (not to say he can't help there any), he's more of a pass rusher.

There are only a handful of people that just complain because they didn't get their specific player they wanted. The rest of us agree, or disagree with selections for different reasons, and come here to discuss it.

But you aren't just going after that minority of people. You look for ANY opinion that you don't agree with, for any reason, and start talking ten kinds of crap on them. It's never good enough to just say "I don't agree with that" and then give a calm reasoning. Nope. You call people stupid, idiot, clueless, moron, wannabe GM, and on it goes.

And you remind everyone that you have accounting experience, which you use as a reason for thinking you know more than all of us. Yet, what you do (or used to do) has nothing to do with operating under the parameters of a salary cap. You have no respect for anyone, and your excuses for yourself are just as bad as the rest of what you say to people.

Umm... Sure seems like that's what you were saying...



Nobody's " butt hurt". I just asked where you got your info. I was interested in reading other sports writers or scouts opinions.

No. You don't get it. I seldom, if ever, disagree with an opinion that is stated as such. Most all of us think differently and have different opinions. I have fewer opinions than most when it comes to personnel, at least in on field potential. I do have well-founded opinions on cap management as it relates to cost accounting and resource management as that is within my field of training.

What I rail upon is the constant proclamations that the front office no clue about what they are doing and has no clue about player selection and are constantly griping about the same. There are only about four or five of the somewhat regular members that fall into this category. I say somewhat because the major presence of a couple coincides with the approach of the draft.

I don't see a problem trying to guess what the team may do in the draft. That could be a fun exercise. I guess I can also understand those compulsive enough to spend hours upon hours doing mock drafts and studying players (based upon input from writers/experts that know little more than they). But it is the insistence that the front office doesn't know as much as they and they can clearly draft better and manage a cap better that gets old. Those are the only instances that I call out and it is usually one or more of the same four or five people.

I could accept people saying they cannot understanding the thinking behind a player acquisition move or a financial decision, but to constantly state that front office is incompetent and if they would do things exactly as the self-promoting members insist, things would be so much rosier in Who Dat Nation.

Yes, you have caught my frustration and ire along these lines, but admittedly, you are not quite as unfailingly negative as a couple of the others in that regard.
