So who are your experts Adamm? Enlighten me.

Mike Mayock, Wes Bunting, Scott Wright, etc...

What sources? The guy writes almost entirely based on opinions and personal encounters. The guy is well known for sure, but no serious football fan takes King seriously.

---

what do you mean what sources? When he writes about his personal encounters talking to owners/ gm's/ players/ etc.... He interviews people all the time. I'm not only talking about his monday morning column.

this topic is boring me. You don't listen to anyone other than yourself and you have this great theory that everyone is corrupt and only your opinion matters. you're hard headed and won't listen to reason.

Wes Bunting

That guy is a complete and utter joke.

He took ONE scouting class at a joke of a school (no one in the field respects that school one damn bit. It's like a community college course for sports business) and then has a degree in journalism. His opinion is just that a biased opinion that in no way should be taken as fact or that seriously.

quote:

Scott Wright

He's in virtually the same boat. Got a degree in journalism and thinks he's an expert. People just like you believe everything he says lockstep and that's why he has become so popular.

Don't get me wrong, I use to read these mock draft sites as well, until I realized they were basically guesses backed by the writers feelings/bias.

And those articles seldom have to deal with the game on the field. If you want to know what New York Jet back up is a nice guy or had a interesting high school life, then yeah King is your guy. If you want to read about the random events/observations of a sports journalist, then read all the King you want.

Just don't act like he's some great sportswriter just because a shitload of people read him.

post a link with people talking about him going in the top 20.

Most experts project him as a top 20 pick

Now sit down and shut the frick up. You may want to go ahead and start writing that apology letter.

I'm STILL waiting for you to point out where I projected Mallett to be drafted. Don't pussy out now Adamm. Prove yourself or admit that yet again you are wrong.

last post

Almost everyone had Clausen as the number one pick early in the process last year. Even near the end, most had him still in the first round. Yeah I'm not going to give a damn about people who are at best taking opinion-based guesses.

---

actually Clausen's stock was slipping leading up to the draft. I know his was with me anyway. Apparently he interviewed poorly. *shock* leadership is one of his biggest issues. I guess the sources were right.

quote:

---

Can you show me exactly where I have said Mallett would be drafted? I'll wait. Don't back away from this either. I will call you out on it until you do.

---

Unless Mallet stays at Arkansas this year or has his right arm hacked off, I don't see any scenario where Newton is taken over him

LINK

Mallet = Joe Flacco.

implies to me you think he is an early 1st rounder.

Because they want to make money. They don't care about credibility as much as they do about hit counts/page views so they can tout that to advertisers for more money.

---

if they wanted views why would they all be saying the same stuff? Is it not logical to think the site with differing opinions might get more views because others would enjoy a different perspective? No I guess that doesn't fit in with your theory.

most people don't seem to agree with you.

I agree but I read them because Im hoping they'll have a good "scoop" on something.

No.... really???? Glad you cleared that all up for me.

Well that certainly had an impact on draft day.

And where does that show where I have him being picked?

quote:

Mallet = Joe Flacco.

And I stand by that comparison.

Whatever floats your boat dude.

Same sources. Hell everyone had Bradford going first last year so no one was going to break the mold and say naw, Suh will go first.

Actually they all do have differing opinions. There is currently no consensus number one pick. Hell this is one of more wide open drafts in recent memory.

Rivals with multiple sources who cover/follow both the NFL and college football > some random guy no one has ever heard of.


My source > your source.


You were wrong and you can't admit it. God I'm going to love watching you exit this board.

guess who's looking for reassurance from the NFL blogger

I have all the assurance I need. I was curious what he would say in response.

I hope the pick RM so the Saints can feast on that mistake.
