I think there will always be a fan base that hates drafting a lineman over a skill position. There is a fan base that will always want to draft the BPA. There is a fan base that will always want to draft the biggest perceived need. And then there are value guys, who want the best value, regardless of position.
What I am seeing on this board is a little bit of that, but there also seems to be a fracture of guys who think Sammy Watkins is a true #1, and guys who see him as just a good receiver prospect.
That's pretty much where I see him.
I am no more an authority on it though than... well... me, myself, and I. I really don't know any of your backgrounds besides what I've gleaned and what you've presented to me. Many of you know me as a restaurant and brewery owner. Like that has shit to do with football besides being a fan. That being said, many of you spend a bunch of time pouring through these details and I - for one - love reading about it.
Dr. Ram - you are one of those that I feel has not only been here amongst us rabble for the long term - but also spends a great deal of time looking at things in a logical manner. Just my opinion.
The rest of you rabble raisers are great fodder for my views.
Love you guys.
Now pay attention to the doctor. No pressure there right Doc?
Seriously though - I love being here amongst you idiots (me included) and talking about our team. I have been here since Paulie started this thing and I really dig that the new blood (
@PhxRam ) is taking much the same tact with some new tech. I feel like some BS patriarch-being at times with how long I've been here but it is all the new AND old that will continue to make this site the shiznitz.
Screw with each other. But always recognize that others won't get it . Take the time to publicly state that you were indeed screwing with someone from time to time. If not for the person you are yanking - for the rest of those who just tuned in.
The reason I bring this up is that I see a lot of new people (which I love to see) and they don't yet get the tenor between certain posters here that have been jabbing for years. Some times it may look more like discord than it really is. Feel free to shoot the shit with the guy across the bar from you. I have to admit that I really had not given it much thought here until a couple posters brought it up in an easy sense
@NJRAM and
@Prime Time
But in reality - very few of us really know each other. Maybe we should all want to meet each other in the same bar - especially if it's a Whiner bar. Let's keep the thought that we all want to get together as Ram fans. That would make for a totally cool place. And arguments would still ensue - all be it in a more "yeah - your mother" sort of way.
Fun times - good vibes - and I've had too many of our latest brew.
Cheers my friends.
