Quote:Do the people who bash TMD for getting his picks wrong ever...and I mean EVER take a stand in favor of a player before the draft?

 

Knock him for getting some wrong, but at least he takes a stance on a player before the draft.

 

Many of you guys wont bother to offer a supporting opinion of a player until the Jaguars draft him, then you rubber stamp the decision until the player proves to be a bust or leaves.  Anyone can do that. 

 

The fact is, everyone who offers an opinion of their own on a player is going to get his share wrong.

 

Even the guys paid by NFL teams to do it.

 

 

There is a huge, huge difference from when normal posters make predictions on players and when TMD makes predictions on players. The mental gymnastics TMD does to avoid being wrong are preposterous. He will still tell you that Barkley would be Pro-Bowler if it wasn't for injury and that Quinn Gray had All-Pro talent.

 

Further, after TMD latches to a player, he will tear into the organization for going a different route. He absolutely dogged the Jaguars FO when Matt "3rd string" Barkley wasn't taken with a 4th round pick. In TMD's eyes, that was value that NEEDED to be taken, but the FO didn't agree and thus they were incompetent.
