" First of all, much like Shane Ray those opinions were before I did actual evaluative work on him and was merely from watching games live as a fan and from the drooling mass media."

 

 You are literally saying that you posted opinions about Shane Ray and Leonard Williams before you did " actual evaluative work " and by going off of what the media said. Simply put, you posted about players without knowing what you were talking about. Shane Ray's and Leonard Williams' game tape did not change in the time it took for you to do your " actual evaluative work". 

 

" It's no wonder everyone else makes fun of me for trying to talk common sense on these boards."

 

This last statement reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite movies, Lucky Number Slevin;

 

<i>The Rabbi :</i> My father used to say: "The first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third time someone calls you a horse, well then perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle."

 

Again. Outstanding.

 

Is there something wrong with posting opinions about a player without actually "evaluating" them? I mean....this is after all a fans forum board. KY has an opinion..right or wrong doesn't matter its his opinion. He doesn't have to "evaluate" anyone to post here. Who cares if he doesn't know what he's talking about...no one does. I remember hearing Mike Mayock say that Trent Richardson was the safest pick in the draft a few years back...now look at him. The point is everything about the draft is just one big guess...sure..it may be an educated guess..but a guess none the less.
