SB Nation Bloggers Draft

[C47]

You're just not getting it.  You have the homer blinders on.  The fact of the matter is that it's hard to point to another collegiate team that has consistently produced so many busts as skill player positions, particularly WR, than USC.  I realize you're a USC fan and that you're going to argue against that, but take a step back and look at the situation honestly.

 

You seem to be the only one here taking this personally and resorting to tossing out insults.  That should tell you something.

 

Florida, and Percy Harvin is one of the most dynamic players on the field when he's healthy. Was a Darkhorse MVP Candidate early in 2012. Yea, that wasn't that hard man...

 

Also, calling you out for making an ignorant statement like we shouldn't draft a talent like Lee because guys who came before him busted isn't throwing out insults at all. 

[C47]

You're happy with a 3rd round pick who never reaches 700 yards? 

 

But no not because of just lafell, because of lafell, early doucet, craig davis, devery henderson, josh reed, michael clayton and to a lesser extent rueben randle since the jury is obviously still out on him.

 

Logic, reason, and counter arguments aren't allowed here....

Happy, no.  But, based on his scouting report you can't be surprised with the results.

 

Good call on the LSU WR busts though.  I didn't realize they'd had so many.

I just think it's quite possible for two relatively intelligent individuals to disagree on a subject without resorting to insults.  It cheapens your argument when you do so.  Not sure why message boards so often devolve to that when the same two individuals could likely have the same argument over a beer without resorting to insults.

It's not an insult. It's calling a spade a spade. That argument to downgrade Lee is completely ignorant.

Okay, so you're just a cocksure asshole who can't listen to opinions that differ from yours.  Got it.  Carry on.  That insult wasn't based on your opinion of football, but based on the personality you're displaying.

Fair enough, I hope your opinion of OBJ hasn't changed now lol

No I'm just tired of hearing the same useless argument that has absolutely zero basis, and validity. You're the one taking it personal that I'm pointing out how ridiculous the baseless comparisons are....

I don't think it's a stretch to take it personal when someone attempts to call you stupid while playing the role of a blind homer. 

 

Agree to disagree.

Agree to disagree.

 

Blind homer or rational person who realizes Lee, Woods, Steve Smith, DJ, Colbert and Mike Williams are all different individuals and will either fail or succeed in the NFL on their own merits and ability? Agree to disagree.

[jayflip]

Well that escalated quickly

[LinvilleGorge]

Well that escalated quickly

 

Yeah, I may have to take a break from the Huddle until after the draft.  The snarkiness is just over the top right now.  I am fine with discussing differing points of view, but way too many posters are just completely ignoring opposing points of view and skipping straight to personal insults.  There's always that certain contingent, but it seems overboard recently.

[C47]

I ignore an opposing point of view if it's that ignorant baseless argument. It's become absolutely ridiculous. If you can't understand failures of past USC Wide Receivers has nothing to do with Lee or whether he will succeed or fail then I'm sorry, but that's on you. 

 

If you would actually like to discuss things of value, like what Lee does well and where he needs work I'm all ears....

[LinvilleGorge]

I thought we agreed to disagree on this one?
