Sweet, another one converted to the QB is our #1 need camp (unless you already were in which case carry on).

It's really lame.
That's funny that it's frame it that way when I have been the one far more on the receiving end of putting words in mouths or misconstruing. As evidenced by his very next post saying I am in the Cousins or bust crowd when I have provided evidence of my support for trading for Foles or Alex Smith. Yet he keeps doing it. Or the other guy continually calling me Ryan Day (I don't even know who that is) because trying to attack the person is a lot easier than attacking a solid argument.
All I am doing is comparing the simple juxtaposition of QB being so much more important than OG that saying Blake "took us to the title game" is fair while insert other wink link is not fair, with the reference to the team needs threads where virtually everyone said OG is a bigger need than QB. The only way that makes logical sense is if you believe the QB is already playing at a franchise caliber level, which I believe we pretty much all agree he has not yet.
I'll try to break this down piece by piece.
Bolded bit: You went from a poster comparing
"the overall import of guard to QB" to
"quoted poster thinks QB is our #1 need." This is laughably inaccurate and clearly putting words in the guys mouth that he wasn't expressing. Those aren't the same things and you know it.
You did something similar to two of my posts while we debated Cousins vs a rookie to start in 2019. That's three times you've blatantly twisted someone's post to suit your argument - so I called you on it. No big deal. We all do it to some degree occasionally - even if in jest.
Underlined
red bit:
This is a very closed-minded stance. There is more than one way to skin this particular cat.
Listing OG as a greater need than QB makes sense if you believe any of a number of things that folks were expressing here and there in that thread.
- A run blocking guard upgrade can open up the run game - which will help any QB no matter your preference
- One may simply be listing positions in the order of which performed more poorly - not the order in which they affect a team
- Plenty of people think the team can go to a super bowl with Blake Bortles and an improved run game and a #1 WR (I don't think that's ideal - but it may indeed be true - we know you don't agree)
