I think my glass overflows... What is gil brandt credited for?? What's his claim to fame... I never said you cannot view things a certain way, in fact i said there are merits to both thought processes. At the end of the day, you view this prospect in a negative light based on who was available, athletic traits, etc. I view it in a more positive light based on scheme fit, versatility, etc. Again, just a difference of opinion is all. And like all opinions, they are subject to change. If he becomes a great player you will like the pick. If he turns out to be what you think he will, I will then not like the pick. Thats all.

I think he was just mentioning that at least one person, who has background and credibility, was optimistic about the off-season we've had. We still have a very difficult schedule and some challenges to overcome. So there is no lock for a 12 win season but we're also getting written off by everybody. At least one guy isn't, which is a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe, but it is also possible that he actually feels that way.. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil has been around for a long time and is one of the most respected names in the business. I dont see him throwing shock and awe opinions out there just to get people to read his stuff... He is not Carlos Monarrez fron The Detroit Free Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I still don't see it from him. Skip Bayless is absurd at times.. Same with Stephen A Smith.. I kind of just want to punch that guy when he gets all worked up. Unbearable.

We always get back from the Universe based on our initial thoughts. If we constantly think negatively, negative things happen. Law of attraction.
