and pioli is a genious for both, amazingly
i don't ever want to hear the word 'risky' coming from this board's sad ass true fans as a pejorative after we just drafted a guy who produced nothing in college...nothing
don't want to hear that QB X is 'risky' because he only played 2 years, or is only awesome and not super awesome, or is 'raw'...lol....Poe is less developed, less accomplished, less coached, more raw than anyone we've ever hoped to draft at QB...by a god damn mile

Who even knows what the **** a true fan is anymore. You guys are so liberal in how you use the word. Since when did a true fan become a fan that's willing to take a risk on an impact player?
Your story just spirals out of control. You've made it perfectly clear that you despise the Poe pick because he produced nothing in college (the most vocal on the board about it), and now you're ripping on people who don't like a QB pick because he produced nothing in college. You have implied that Pioli was just laying up and filling a nose tackle spot because it needed to be filled.... never mind that the layup was to draft a Guard like Decastro. Nevermind that aggressively going after Tannehill is ALSO a needs based pick and a much safer pick than Poe, because at least he has some college track record.
You hate the Poe pick. And you hate it because it's risky. And now you're somehow trying to convince people that the reason we should hate this pick too is because we are all risk averse because we won't take a quarterback. Your argument is ridiculous. If you're going to rip on people, rip on the people who are pissed we didn't take Decastro. Don't rip on the people who are happy that Pioli finally stepped out of his safe zone and took a risk for a change.
