The question isn't necessarily acknowledging the 5 wins. It's just that some believe that it far exceeds 2-3-4 wins in a 5-11 season to have that #2 or even 1 pk. Now you can agree or not agree but everyone is allowed their opinion (atleast so far) and your tagging as "obsessed" because why ? they have a different opinion which may not correspond to your view.
I think it was a poor decision. I still do because your reasoning after thought out isn't sufficient enough to change my opinion. And I'm not saying it couldn't be changed but I haven't heard a sufficient enough IMO reason to see it as more important. Now I don't think your obsessed of crazy for your view I just don't agree.
Me for the OL would prefer Expereienced and a level of significant success. But its Flores team and I accept and eventually will have my own opinion on their evaluation in the distant future of him and his pick.
Me, I think the opportunity to get a Young, Andrew, Okudah, or even Burrow, and to be a few spots higher in the next rds has more value than those 2 last games. And thats JMO which makes this the place it is all these opinions good and bad.
And yes its alway great to out play and beat N.E., which again IMO is half the team they've been the last 15 years.

First, my opinions on opinions. It's one thing, after the fact, to wish Miami had lost all games or just 1-2. In our discussion here, you seem well-reasoned. But, IMO of opinions, those refusing to see ANY positives in any of the wins are in denial (I used the word "obsessed"). Again, while I would have preferred the #1 or #2 pick, I can see Flo and players wanted to win and I see a positive in that. They beat Philly and NE. I see a positive in that. Fans saw a number of players blossom, and a number of new players show potential. All of those are positives.
As for opinions, I think we agree. It's one thing to say those wins hurt the draft pick (they did) or there are positives in the 5 wins (there are). I admire those on both sides - they have valid points. Thus, I don't label someone as "crazy" because they disagree with me. But insulting those who disagree is beyond opinion. Denying the other side has valid points is showing obsession (there's that word again) with a view point. It is not my point to change anyone's mind. No one can do that. I have pointed out the disadvantages of wins and the positives of wins, so I'm not locked in to either position.
I suspect you and I, and all posters, see the same critical needs. I suspect we have a few of the same complaints with Flo (i.e, Ballage). And all honest posters would prefer as high a pick as possible. That's why, during the season, there was angst with very Pit/HOU win.
As for the OL coach - I'm agnostic. I would have preferred a vet OL coach, but, assuming Marshall's the guy, all we can do is hope he turns into a great coach. I suspect we agree there.
