Are you Coral Reefer in disguise? Do you have to attack someone just because they have a different viewpoint than you. Alot of people happen to agree with this view. You don't - big deal - two different opinions - why the attack?
I haven't seen anyone say Chris Long isn't a very good player or won't be a great pro. What people like myself have a problem with is his going #1 overall. We want Miami to get an IMPACT player and some of us don't feel Long is enough of one for the money the #1 pick will make. That's an opinion!
Bring something of substance to the table in your presentation and you won't have to get all upset about people pointing out how shallow and unfounded your view is.
Secondly, you have all the right in the world to feel that Long isn't the player Miami should take. Just don't openly present absurd reasoning as "he's a Roth Clone because he's the same height and weight". People are attacking it because it is a ridiculous angle.
I think Blue summed it up quite well and in simple terms when he said he'd offer Jake Long isn't worth the top pick because he's a clone of Robert Gallery and Tony Mandarich.
That argument would be just as shallow and baseless as the Roth Long comparisons.
