You're obviously quite intelligent and demonstrably quite literate, but the overall impression you make here is that urinating in our Koolaid is what makes *you* happy. It should be no surprise that on a Patriots fanatic board you'd become less than popular.
You usually do a better job of covering yourself with a fig leaf of objectivity than you did with the McCourty post. It was quite an unimpressive sight.
Day of Wrath indeed, and well earned.
Back to McCourty himself, I again refer fans here of the Patriots to the very encouraging NFLDraftScout.com report on him, which is by far the most detailed and interesting report I've seen anywhere:
Devin McCourty, Rutgers, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
And, yes, his "fluid hips" are specifically called out yet again. I'm actually now curious about the source of the alleged report to the contrary, as I haven't been able to find it. Given his superb 3-Cone (6.7 sec, 2nd best amongst corners at the Combine, and much better than Butler's 6.92 sec last year), it would surprising if he exhibited lateral stiffness...
Don't recall you being balanced, sorry. Your McCourty post was absurdly gratuitously negative, not nearly up to your usual standards. Haven't noticed you adducing support for it since, either. Your attacks here on Ken were irritating as well.
Yeah, the ****/Zelazny novel, by two of my favorite SF authors. The name's a play on "dies irae", but "god of wrath" is a bit pretentious, don't you think?
Don't recall you ever being balanced, sorry. Maybe you were boring when you were.
Your McCourty post was absurdly, gratuitously negative, not nearly up to your usual standards.
Well, to date, we've learned that he's a cornerback taken in the first round even though he can't shift his hips well in transition and will be a target for deep passes as a result.
Now, let's hope that we eventually learn that he's been able to overcome this liability even at the NFL level.

Your attacks here on Ken were uncalled for as well.
And your sig is a red flag. ;-)

What we've learned with McCourty: His hips may or may not be fluid in a vacuum.
Believe me, it's mutual.
Wow, what a great comeback.
We have learned with certainty that he has hips.
I'm hip to that.....however,I have fluid on the brain from the direction this thread has taken.
.....maybe that's just me
If you find that absurdly, gratuitously negative, you should reassess your definitions.

If you read what was being posted in the thread prior to that, you'll find that PFK was already putting the kid ahead of Butler. I was responding to that. He's got McCourty beating out Butler by the end of the year and Butler moved to the slot, yet he's jumping on me about being too quick with my comment.
The double standard for the homers still lives.....
And perhaps finally, I think Tommbeau got it right. It might be alright to disagree with my assessment of a player that, like the rest of us, I have no intimate knowledge of. But to keep sticking to a position after several posters have cited examples that refute your position speaks more to your own stubbornness than the strength of your position. It seems to me that you almost invite these confrontations just to piss people off and spark 8 page threads on topics that should be finished after 3
But then again, maybe that's why you have 15,000+ posts while I only have 1100.
Not for nothing but it would seem that if Ken suggest Deus INIVTIES confrntation and Deus says the confrontation started in response to his post, we may have Bingo.Ken, the "confrontation" started with you, on the very next post. But this is really not something worth continuing. He'll succeed or fail regardless of what posters on a message board say. So.....
Jets suck!
