But I'm going to drop this and come towards your argument for this next question: does Mecca have a bad predictive track record on this board? I wasn't aware that he did.

His track record isn't any better or worse than most. He's been right about some and he's been wrong about some, just like most people here.

I'm guessing Pioli thinks Cassel is a better option than Thigpen. That does mean that Pioli thinks Cassle is the ONLY option, just one that was available.

Does he have a good one? I don't think the problem is that he has a bad track record, but he acts like he has some ridiculously good predictive track record, which I just don't see. There are plenty of others in that boat too, but the difference is that most of the don't go around beating their chest and acting like they know more than everyone else.

Also, shut up because I wanted Just Passing By to answer that question, not you guys.

Of course Cassel is a better option that Thigpen.

Thanks, Kotter. ;)

I don't know what his track record is. Others who've been here will give their interpretation of how they view his track record, but it will likely be skewed by how they feel about Mecca in the first place. I had to base my thoughts about his opinions based upon my pre-existing knowledge of the players and based upon his analysis, which left plenty to be desired.

Again, to be fair, he may have broken things down in more depth in the draft forum. I didn't frequent that area of the board. However, I could only go by what I saw.

Enough said.

When he's wrong, he's not as wrong as others because he thinks he watches more college football then everyone else.

My track record isn't bad...and no I'm not going to be right 100% of the time it's the draft, people paid to do it can't even pull that.

I absolutely hated the Hali, Pollard, Croyle draft and to this point I'm correct on that one.

Would someone like to point out all the times I've been wrong I'll tell you what I said and be frank there are plenty of players I was wrong about one way or the other.

Then there's reason to believe that he's worth the #34 pick but not worth the #3 pick.

Honestly, we've been through this before.

People will bring up things they think you had wrong and you'll have a thousand caveats as to why you're not quite wrong.

It doesn't prove anything.

I'll be dead honest, this whole idea that I don't think I'm ever wrong is a bit overblown.

Like I said, we went through this a couple of years ago. Like I said, it turns into a string of caveats and in the end proves nothing.

It's a football message board and none of us are professionals.

In the end, the point is that, when you attack people, they're going to respond in kind. Even if you don't feel that you're attacking them, your tone can induce a similar response.

Does that mean you should just up and leave? Hell no. I'm damn glad you came back.

I swear to God some of you think in binary.

Apparently, you didn't read the quote from Doomy where he stated that Sanchez wasn't good value at #3 but he'd choose him at #15.
