Quote:I just don't see what's so appealing about him. Admittedly, I've only seen a couple videos from that DraftBreakdown website, but he seems slow to get off the line and takes bad angles. Nothing really jumps out at me that says he's worth an early 1st round pick. 

 

I'm not sure what you're watching. He looks very fast off the line to me and has the best bending skills in this class. The only thing I see missing from him is maybe power, since I don't see him bullrush guys hardly ever, but he definitely seems worth a first round pick as a pass rusher. I'll have to see his results from the combine, but just going off tape, I would say he has double digit sack potential in the league with the way he moves. He also plays the run a lot better than say a Tim Williams.

 

Quote:You seem upset. Relax Vino.

I'm not.

 

Quote:So perhaps stickies on the top prospects would solve the issue?

 

What you are describing should not be surprising.

 

  In many instances, people will follow a particular college team until bowl season, then watch other teams.  Others prefer to emphasize watching the bowl games because there is some expectation of a similar level of competition.  A prospect can look dominant against a directional school, but how will he look against a big time program in a big game?

 

Is it a "crime" for one fan to "discover" a player later than another?  Should the later discoverer of a player be penalized by not commenting on that player in any thread of his own making if it isn't the established thread for that player?

 

What is the reasonable search a poster must make to find a preexisting thread on a player before posting a new one?  One page?  Two?  Are threads that name one player in a title that branch off into a discussion about another player counted among those to be considered a preexisting thread?  What about team vs. team game day threads?

 

In my opinion, if there is a reasonably recent thread that is obvious from the title it is about a particular player, perhaps an effort should be made to post in that thread or perhaps have a mod merge the threads.  By the same token, I think threads that facilitate the substantive discussion about the merits of a player should be encouraged, even if somewhat redundant.

I think a general thread discussion on players would solve the issue. I just don't see the need for a new thread to pop up every single time one random guy has a flashy game. imo it just reduces the quality of the section.
