See this is where we part ways, I'm not seeing multiple posters bashing Holtz. From what I've seen, it was one person saying he "feels" like Holtz is going to be a bust. How he feels that this early, I haven't the slightest idea, but it's not making me feel the urge to defend Holtz to him. What do you say to that? If someone "feels" something that random...."ok?".But it's not an extreme case nor very different at all. Zacha got drafted high after having a good draft year then slumped literally until this seasons, while having every excuse made possible for why his game has struggled and he hasn't progressed to what we should have realistically expected from a 6oa pick.
Holtz had a great draft year, started off hot then slumped while also having legitimate excuses for why he slumped. It is as close of a fair comparable as you could possibly make. Wanting say Rossi over Holtz is fine, the same way wanting Barzal over Zacha would have been fine too!
My point in all of this is how ironic it is that many of the posters that have pumped Zacha and given every excuse and been very patient with him are the same ones bashing Holtz. Now I have been a critic of Zacha while also wanting him to succeed. I wanted Holtz and I did not expect him to come out close to finished product besides scoring the most random of goals because his shot is sensational. Every prospect should be given a fair shake and the fact that it is pick and choose is getting exhausting.
Not sure why it just can't be ignored, there is nothing anyone can say to change his "feeling." Maybe that same poster always had a good "feeling" about Zacha. Who knows? Who cares?
