For another, I don't think anyone is ridiculing your opinions for being ultimately wrong, they're ridiculing your opinions for being embarrassingly premature.
I don't think it was premature, perhaps it was visionary?
And there it is. So much for everyone ridiculing me for this thread and for having the audacity to suggest Ealy won't make the roster.
Pats are gauging trade market for Ealy aka trying to get a 6th or 7th round for someone they paid the equivalent of 4th round a few months ago. Most likely they won't get any offers and will just have to dump him.
Ealy is already dead man walking.
When you predict doom at the first sign of possible trouble in every situation you come across, it's not a vision the one time you get it right.
I was not aware that this poster was a regular doom and gloomer. I rarely predict gloom, yet I kind of agreed with the OP. For example,
I believed in Ras-I Dowlings ability to bounce back
I thought Jordan Richards would pan out
It wasn't a steep price. It was the equivalent of a late 4th round pick. It isn't nothing, but not that steep. Many 4th rounders don't stick with this team for more than a year or two.
It's funny, when the Pats got Ealy, everyone said the Pats got him for next to nothing. And now that he might not stick, it is a steep price.

Either way, if you give a 4th rounder to get someone and he doesn't make the roster, it's very disappointing. e.g. if we draft a rookie with a 4th rounder and he doesn't make the roster, it's disappointing. It's not criminal like losing a 2nd/3rd rounder, but still disappointing.
"Have gauged" does not equal "are gauging."
You're not alone in the mis-translation of the original tense. Members of the media have already done the same.

And since when am I a constant doom monger? Please elaborate or provide examples before making a statement like that.
I was really excited about him coming in but he has been a total ghost
some doom & gloom prognosticator must have hijacked your account
... Patriots having completed the action in the past (past tense) as opposed to my implication that the process is ongoing (present tense).
