I wasn't asking you if I knew the Technical ins and outs of WR, you assumed I didn't... and I was telling you you're wrong.
I didn't assume anything. I made a statement that was generally applicable just like many others I've made in the past. "You can learn a lot from watching Kupp play." "Watching Kupp play will teach you a lot about the nuances of the WR position." It wasn't directed at you, personally. It was a statement directed at any person who might want to watch Kupp to see how the position should be played, because we haven't seen much of that from Rams WRs over the past few years.
I don't pretend to know what you do or don't know about the WR position. For people who want to learn more, watching Kupp can certainly be useful.
Do I know for sure you're a WR Technical savaant? No... so I'll leave you to your hardened personal opinion of selecting Kupp with our first pick. No one absolutely knows for sure that College Player A is better than College Player B at the next level... but somehow you said "Kupp is better", like it's fact rather than personal opinion...
I don't feel the need to label every statement I make with an "imo" or "jmo." I think it's pretty obvious that it's an opinion. I trust that people on this board know the difference between an opinion and a fact. Yet, I still do add "imo" or "just my opinion" or "jmo" to a lot of my posts because I run into this exact issue often. It's always baffling to me.
Also, when you speak you speak for yourself... not "us" (everyone). That's generally how a forum community works. The tone of that sentence sounds demeaning (just like "If you want to know the technical ins and outs of the WR position...") ... Can't I just have a personal opinion Jrry without wasting time on a message board defending my stance to the ends of the earth?
Funny, that's exactly what I did. Let's read the quote again:
Can you give us a breakdown of both guys and explain why? That might help us (or at least me) understand it.
A breakdown would inform the entirety of the message board. Thus, "us" is appropriate in that context. In the next sentence, "us" may not be appropriate because it may only be me who needs help understanding it. Accordingly, I added the parentheses making that clear.
Sure, you can have an opinion without wasting time on a message board explaining it. However, that doesn't add much to the discussion. These discussions are rich and informative when people are willing to go into detail on what they see and think. Even if you don't agree with them, you understand where they're coming from, and other people benefit from seeing another perspective on the player.
I like JuJu more... So do a lot of fans on here and TST. Nothing more needs to be said. It's personal opinion and I personally like JuJu more based off the research that I have done over the past couple of months.
Great. That's understandable. There are many reasons why you can justify that stance. However, nobody gains anything from just hearing "I like Juju more" or "I like Kupp more." People learn when we go into depth on what makes a player special or what flaws we see in his game. That's what makes message boards like this one valuable. You have a lot of knowledgeable fans who are able to explain in detail what they see. People will disagree. That's the nature of opinions, but disagreement often leads to the discussion becoming even richer in terms of details.
You can get defensive and angry at me for pressing you for details, but I'm certainly practicing what I preach. I've made a number of detailed posts on many prospects in this draft. The reason I push you and others to do the same is because there's value in people seeing as many opinions as possible.(plus, I enjoy talking about draft prospects and football)
