Quote:You completely changed the point by leaving out as a rookie, or immediately, or right out of the chute, etc this time. Jack and Glock had issue with you demanding he be as elite as those guys instantly.

 

If you had merely said he needs to get to their level eventually to justify his pick at 4 you would have gotten no push back. Of course a top 5 drafted TE needs to become elite, it just doesn't have to happen as a rookie. 

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
