Big difference between the 2 players.

And with that, the discussion
should be over (should have months ago). But once again we are staring that bitch known as reality in the eyes....

As for the PL comment... I'm sorry, I'm not sure as to what you mean.

The infamous Planet Party Line, the label given to the "majority" of the board by KCJohnny when he was being crucified for not moving on from the past (Marty and Gunther). If you aren't in step with the PPL, you get shit on, or so goes the theory.....

I refrence the Willie Pile comments along side of Rich's, maybe it will take a few years for Rich to make his chances count, I dunno.

Maybe.

What I do know is, from what I saw in preseason, ( Lord I have mentioned this a thousand times )IMHO, Rich posessed more ability to shead blockers,wrap up the tackle, and taking better angles to the ball in the limited # of reps he had than Mitchell showed us in 7 games last year and almost 3 preseason games this year..
This is all I have ever based my opinions on, compaired to Mitchell, plus pre draft reports on both players from college.

And there in lies the problem. If you had something more substantial, hell, if you had a more people who even noticed him on the field, this would all seem [slightly] more rationale. But you have neither. All you have are a handfull of plays from a couple of pre-season games. That might be the foundation for a little water cooler talk, but not for argument of him being our LBing saviour. It just ain't enough.
