I have listened to alot of fan talk on this board and ANYBODY who thinks the Patriots wouldn't love to plug Rey next to Mayo yesterday or questions whether the Pats believe he "fits" their defensive scheme, I just laugh silently, shake my head and realize that it's an emotional fan thing.
So as a guy with Trojans in his user name you've concluded that anybody who doesn't like a particular Trojan prospect is just being "an emotional fan"?
I could give out some facts about the Pats feelings about about all 5 SC LBers among others but I decided this year to just lay low because people last year just like to argue with you about your information even though last year I was spot on and gave everybody the information on average 3 days ahead of the press releases. I challenged anybody to prove me wrong and got no responses. So I'm just enjoying this year.
'55, I remember your contributions well and would love to see you post more. In particular, we could all benefit from any close observerations of USC prospects. And IIRC you were the first to leak that Holley was going to leak about Mayo, suggesting some kind of media connections.
But if you want plaudits for that, you should take your good-natured lumps for not being "spot on" every time. E.g. you were just as positive about the Pats being serious about a couple of Trojans last year (Ellis & Rivers), too. And remember your discourse on "inside information" 10 days before last year's draft, notable for not naming a single eventual Pats draft pick and for "news" that the Pats would address positions like OL, RB and & WR? Here 'tis:

In other words, regardless of the sources of your info & opinions, you're right sometimes and wrong the rest of the time, just like the rest of us. So don't get upset that people "just like to argue with you about your information." Isn't that why we're all here? Dig in!
