Like Edelperson, they had to teach Price what it meant to be an NFL WR. Price came from a wacky run-heavy offense; due to the NCAA's asinine rules, he couldn't join the team until OTAs were almost all over.

I was simply trying to clarify what I meant in my original post (namely that the "Like Edelperson" part referred only to the first part, not the entire sentence).
If you misinterpreted it, I'm sorry I wrote it in a way that left it open to misinterpretation.

But with a plethora of nitpickers on this MB......clarity is a must
People with their own agendas will read into things what they want if your post is not perfectly and clearly worded....

I'm not trying to break his balls... he made a mistake. My 1st time reading this topic was today. Altered quote penalty- 10 LASHES
just don't lie about it... we all screw up it is life.
The sentence was awkward, but it was still understandable to me.

usually in a sentence their is a noun. The person or thing mentioned was not TP but Edelperson. Therefore he is the subject and TP does not exist b/c not mentioned
I dont care FYI- I just didn't get it when I read it b/c Edel was only player mentioned
let's just kill it- not an issue

As much as I appreciate grammar nazis, you are completely wrong. Let's break down this sentence piece by piece.
Quote:
Because, like Edelperson, they had to teach him what it meant to be an NFL WR
The subject of the sentence is "they" (the Patriots coaching staff), so you are wrong on that point to begin with. The other two objects in the sentence are "Edelperson," and "him." "Edelperson" and "him" are clearly established to be different objects because "Edelperson" is part of a prepositional phrase. Therefore we can conclude "him" is TP contextually.
Quote:
since he came from a wacky run-heavy offense, and due to the NCAA's asinine rules, he couldn't join the team until OTAs were almost all over.
Since we have already established that the male pronoun (him/he) is being used to refer to TP, this sentence does, in fact, make sense.
If you're going to nitpick grammar, at least be correct about it. Secondly, don't act like it's impossible to interpret grammatically incorrect sentences and fill a post with and ???????s.
You have made a mistake TheSolderKing; there is no shame in admitting it.
