DGB Considered "Best WR to Come Out since Calvin Johnson."

[TheRumGone]

DGB sounded super nervous at the podium fwiw

[t96]

You may have just answered your own question.

 

Wasn't really a question but yeah the feeling I got is that DGB isn't really being considered for #25. Voth's report though...

[KDawg004]

He also said that the NFL is hard and why would you want a ticking timebomb when asked about character issues. DGB might fit that description.

I know that you hate the guy, but this is a red herring. You're better than this.

[top dawg]

How do I "hate" him?

I have conceded that I would not risk a 1st or 2nd round pick on him in this thread but also conceded he'd be a heckuva deal with anything lower and I wouldn't be against that.

How is that "hate"?

Or is your definition of "hate" = "disagrees with me"?

Another red herring. You already know that's just a figure of speech.

You have said a little more than that. Even still, sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it. And sometimes it's saying something without really saying it.

On this forum, anything short of "I would trade all my draft picks for him and pay him a bazillion dollars" is interpreted as personal hatred.

I never took you for the peanut gallery.

Would you deny that happens?

Of course, but his question was to me, and you took it upon yourself to answer it.

Because I don't believe for a moment that he 'hates' Green-Beckham.

Don't draft people who repeatedly break the law...you're just asking for headaches.

People use the 'youthful indiscretion' defense a lot, and for guys with a single offense, I can generally buy that.

Repeat offenders though? That's a stretch.

I was young, I made mistakes, everybody does.  But when you're making the same mistakes AND going bigger, then you need a time out.

Just like you aren't in love with the idea of the Panthers drafting this guy, neither is Tiger, but there is no reason to reach for weak reasons to knock the guy who has already admitted to his own mistakes, and by all accounts has done the right things for the past few months to leave his past behind. The implication that he is out of shape, and not just adding muscle and bulk, is really unfounded at this point (before he actually competes no less). This does not bespeak "hate" in the literal sense of the word, but does connote a certain amount of disdain, or unfairness at the very least.

Moreover, this is the second time this week that I have "chided" you for using hyperbole to support a largely overblown concept; first that the scope of DGB only relates to business, and the second being that the Huddle is rampant with members that think only in what I will call "hyperbolic extremes". Sure, some may, but I don't believe that it happens as much as you perhaps believe (or would like others think that you believe in order to "clown" someone), and it's certainly not true in my case.
