I think you are being overly sensitive.
If I'm a jerk for pointing out the obvious, I'm sorry. That's just me... that's just what I do. I also try to do it with a little bit of humor to keep things interesting. Which is why I took my dig at the Hive because posters over there, make these far out comments all the time. That wasn't directed at you perse.
As most here can attest, I point out the obvious. I call it exactly the way I see it. As ncjacket will tell you, I think I'm right even when sometimes I may be wrong. Sometimes I've made some pretty bold statements that I rightfully get called out for too.
But I do call it like I see it. Like when someone says the sky is red, I say they are wrong, and that it is blue. I don't have a conversation over their incorrect opinion and how it could be a shade of red at times. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the sky is not red.
We are not deep at DE. Lots of bodies doesn't equal depth. At least not what most people associated with the sport of football would consider "deep". As dressedcheeseside pointed out, there are varying definitions of that. But that doesn't make your definition correct. Its not. So don't hate me when I point that out. I'm not trying to single you out, again, I'm just pointing out the obvious... we are not deep at DE. I do agree we have lots of potential talent at DE. We are deep, or at least deeper at three other positions that I can think of.
I didn't mean to lump you in the same category as the sunshine crowd at the Hive, but what you said reminded me of some of the jaded gold colored glasses view points that the Hive is constantly inundated with which makes discussions on this board so much better because they are far more even keeled. I didn't say you don't know dick, I haven't formed that opinion yet.
The only person I am very sure of on this forum doesn't know squat about anything related to football is Yukon Jacket. Maybe a couple of others too, but Yukon has made some pretty stupid statements in the past, like his famous: "Georgia Tech is trying to de-emphasize college football by hiring Paul Johnson" and the fact that he predicted PJ would do no better than 5-7 and that PJ was a terrible hire. So while I can converse with Yukon and have fun with Yukon on this forum, I will still candidly point out to him that nothing he says holds any weight with me because he's made too many dumbass statements.
My first reply wasn't blunt as you initially stated. That's how you took it because you are being overly sensitive that I disagree with you. My response was matter of fact that most anyone who follows football would hold true and that most on here would agree with, other than Kyle, who is an idiot in his own right, but nevertheless enjoyable.
I don't recall many other posts from you, but in a vacuum, based on that one post, I would compare it to the sunshine gold colored glasses analysis you would find on the Hive. Sorry if that is offensive, its just my opinion. You may say something next week that I think is right on.
If I'm a jerk for pointing out the obvious, I'm sorry. That's just me... that's just what I do. I point out the obvious. Don't get bent out of shape on it. I rarely take myself very seriously on this board unless someone has a detrimental opinion or mindset which hasn't happened in a long time. For the most part, I can even laugh at myself for some of the ridiculous things I've said over the years, and expect others to do the same. That's just the way of it.
I'm the board asshole. Most people recognize I don't respond with a feather, I respond with a hammer. That's just me. I don't think I'm going to change that. While some people hate me, some find me as enjoyable as I find them and their stupid opinion. So its all good. :laugher:
