I don't see myself as a negative person in real life, but sometimes you read CP and make 5 or 6 posts and feel like you only said negative stuffs.
Of course, it's far easier to be a naysayer on this board, because you go hard at the negative side and if you're right you're right, but if you're wrong you just get to say "I'm happy I was wrong" or "Sure, I run this player down all day and night, but I want him to be great". So you get to straddle the fence and celebrate victory no matter what happens, not a terrible position.

It is what it is. It is easier to follow the herd's mentality than to formulate your own opinion and stand out from the crowd since so many people want to be right instead of hoping. I get that we will more than likely not do well this season, but it is ridiculous to be at the point the we have to be pissed that a rookie struggled in his 2nd preseason game, when the top of this draft was pretty barren in regard to top selections.

Continue to rotate CP.
