Yes you do, because you can't quantify what an 'easy call' is unless you know, well, how easy it is.
What you are telling me is that you don't need context to criticise, which is an extremely illogical and foolish stance to take.
How would you feel if you were criticised by your boss at work for not performing well, when he can't actually tell you what the standard for 'good performance' actually is.
As I say, foolish and illogical.
1.) The Context is the draft and the players. History, not what other teams do, eventually supplies the answers, as examples of late round greats show over and over.
2.) If I'm failing to get things done, it doesn't matter what percentage of my peers are also failing. The bottom line is that I'm not getting it done. What you're missing here is the question of reasonableness, not the issue of comparison. Comparison is only a potential part of the equation, as opposed to being some required component.
Yes it is.
By all means, 'discuss' away.
Just know that is is completely without merit.
No, it's not. Again, you fail to understand the issue. My team can suck or excel, independent of what other teams do. If 31 teams pass up on Peyton Manning in the draft, that doesn't make the 32nd team ok for doing it too. A combination of factors (need being a great one) enter into play, and you're ignoring them.
Cool story.
Impossible to quantify.
I can see why you picked it.
Quantification wasn't needed. If you need a QB and you choose Leaf over Manning, you screwed up your draft. That's about as basic as it gets. If you can't even admit to something that obvious, you really shouldn't be posting on this topic.
Game, set, match.
Yes Deus, everyone does think they can call a great game.
Just like how everyone thinks they can call a great draft.
Your unquantified criticism is as worthless as all those Armchair OC's at home crying about 'another damn screen play'.
Wait, so you completely misunderstanding my post, and then following that up with a botched analogy, is supposed to be "Game, set match."?
Good comedy.
The reality is that this is a message board. If you don't care to discuss the issues of the team, you should feel free to avoid threads that do discuss them. After all, your comments are every bit as worthless as other posters' comments.
Again, we can look back at a draft and determine success or failure with some arguable degree of accuracy. That doesn't require looking at other teams. It doesn't require an MBA, or a Harvard degree, or anything but access to the data.
