Once again I will pose this question to you and maybe I'll finally get an answer. Do you not agree that the majority of this board has opinions on prospects they've never watched? That's ignorance. The second we drafted Morse I was pretty disapointed. Not bc I didn't like him as a prospect, but bc I didn't want a C that early and I was unaware of his stock getting so high by draft day. I'm not an ignorant person and open minded, so instead of freaking out about it I took notice that Mayock had him in his top 5 interior OL rankings went back and watched those games and came away feeling we got a guy not that far off from Erving a round later.
That's the difference between being an ignorant pessimistic moron and an open minded intelligent fan that is aware that the people that do this for a living know more than I do and I should give them the benefit of the doubt or at least see for myself before bitching like a teenage girl.
You try to make me out to be an arrogant armchair GM, but that's where you're wrong. Who's more arrogant? The person that doesn't do their homework on any of these prospects yet still believes they know better than John Dorsey, or the person that does their homework yet still is completely aware that they don't know nearly as much as the guys that do this for a living?

So you've made it your mission to show these "ignorant pessimistic morons" where they're wrong by claiming that you know more than they do?
And you know that ALL of them have these opinions without doing any research? So Hamas, who is a Mizzou fan and watches the games, doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to Morse? And that's because of what exactly?
You want to put your opinions of players out there.....that's fine. But don't start off with...."Mizzou fans don't know dick about this guy. I watched 6 games and paid attention to only him......so I know more."
