[quote=skinster;810923]or instead of insulting me, you could clarify by explaining what you think I'm justifying so I can respond. Unless your looking for a "clever" way out.[/quote]
Any logic thinker would be able to figure out what I was getting at. I am saying that your very vague definition of predictable is wrong. You're saying anyone that anyone taken at the end of the first or beginning of second is predictable. Yet you IGNORE the many years where men drafted in that position haven't been "predictable" franchise QBs. You simply pick the few recently that've worked out. So your model is better than the many personnel guys in the NFL? Why haven't you applied yet?

[quote=skinster;810924]If I ever settle the rest of my side bouts, and nothing is still going on, remind me and I'll get back to that one night or weekend. I'd much spend my time on this site talking football than explaining the rules of logic, but like you said its a slow summer, so maybe one day soon I'll get back to this.[/quote]

God forbid we bother you; cannot await until the time you appease us peasants with your wisdom.

LOL. You mean the way I use my invented phrase "predictable quarterback" is wrong? LOL (again)

I'm not ignoring anything. I simply used the phrase "predictable" to catagorize quarterbacks that teams drafted with the the expectation of them becoming a franchise quarterback. Pretty much every qb drafted in the top 50 picks goes in this category, whether they panned out or not. The ones that didn't had something that made an organization "predict" that they would pan out and they just didn't. I'm sorry you either don't like or understand my phrase.

And I'm still not entirely sure what your getting at considering that was such a small part of what I was saying, and you don't really make sense, so just to cover my bases (If my response was not on topic to your response that was not on topic) I'm going to say that I believe Luck to be different than other prospects. He is more than predictable, he is as close to a sure thing as we'll see in a while. And I'm sure many "personnel guys" already employed by the nfl would agree, they don't need me for that.

No okay so my Luck idea is in between let players play. if we win with Beck great if we don't than thats good too for draft positioin.

Only responding to this because it seems there is alot of animosity towards my statements. I want to clarify by saying that I've never actually said we should lose on purpose (If you think this isn't true show me where I've said that to prove me wrong). I simply am saying I believe it is in the franchises's best interest for us to lose this year. If beck turns out to be the real deal, then great I'll be super happy. But I believe he's not, I believe we need a franchise qb, I believe Luck is our best bet at getting one, I believe this season is in vain, and I believe that as long as our season is in vain it is in our best interest to salvage a franchise qb in the process.

Skinzwin: Okay and if so through the rebuilding process with your so called "middle grade draft picks" we don't do well because we are young and inexperienced and lose a lot of games so be it. That is part of the rebuilding process. [B]But you make it sound like losing would be on purpose, a priority. That is just ignorant and asinine if you ask me.[/B]

Skinster: [B]I think its ignorant to think otherwise (even though I am aware I am in the vast minority).[/B] I can think of very few teams that were consistently average teams and then suddenly broke through to become top tier. These mediocre teams seem to all stay mediocre untill they suddenly drop to the bottom. I could go on for a while to tell you all the examples, but I'm sure you can look them up yourself. Being mediocre is delaying the inevitable of being terrible. Which is what seems to be happening to us now. Being kind of bad is not going to fix the problem. A true superstar needs to emerge. I think the lions and the rams are on their way to becoming legitimate teams. We need that superstar, and the best way to get him is with the first pick. Its very rare that Aaron Rodgers will fall into your lap in the 20's. The picks at the top of the 2nd/3rd round won't hurt either.
