Ah great, gonna stir up the bee hive. I'm not sure this deserved another thread.
It is a new article written today about events that happened at today's OTAs, other threads were based on previous OTAs. Nothing wrong with having this new thread.

There are some other recent thread specifically bringing up Egnew's good performance in OTAs. I think this is probably best discussed within them but it's just my opinion.
I don't think those however many threads bashing Egnew for no good reason are worthy either.
Threads like this just give fuel to people who like to pretend that there's a faction of fans who believe Egnew is the super awesomest most greatest player ever, so that their own continuous stream of unmitigated Egnew bashing looks like just a reasonable counter response rather than what it really is, which is an unjustified reaction to 60 seconds of Hard Knocks footage combined with a rookie not playing much in his rookie year (which we've seen in the NFL, countless times).
Ok, I'll say it. Lets see this continue with him wearing pads.
Not a fair characterization of the people who dislike Egnew, imo. This comment here really seems directed at a few people -- one in particular -- but by trying to disguise it what you're really doing is engaging in widespread ad hominem attack. If I dislike Egnew because I thought he college tape wasn't very good and had that opinion supported by every report that came out about him -- in other words, from more than just Hard Knocks -- then I'd feel as justified being negative about him at every opportunity as I would be being positive about Rishard Matthews at every opportunity if I liked him at Nevada and saw flashes.
It is what it is. You make it sound like it's not appropriate to have a stance on Egnew when what I really think you're doing is objecting to the volume.
he's coming after me...what else is new...ha ha...cause you know it was all media hype brought on by hard knocks portrayal of the kid and a couple catches against current 9 to 5 ers late in preseason games that i couldn't see the uber talent and justify a roster spot...
what he's doing is making crap up to try and cover for a really poor showing by a guy he liked as a prospect...but that's nothing new...
i hope this kid does show something to make it even worth an argument cause right now all it looks like is some people are getting clowned...
You were not the first (or third, or fourth) person I was thinking of when I wrote that.
The second?
The second?
Anyone who disliked Michael Egnew prior to the Draft, I fully understand and expect them to dislike Michael Egnew right now. I have never had a problem with that. I have more of a problem with people who didn't have an opinion on Egnew until Hard Knocks.
WHEN I argued with you about Michael Egnew in the past, it was because you outwardly and explicitly accused anyone who believes Michael Egnew could still ever amount to anything in the NFL of refusing to admit when they've been PROVEN wrong. And this was still during the preseason if I remember correctly. The preseason of a guy's rookie year. In other words, you clearly did not afford me the same respect that I afforded you. That was wrong of you.
