They used the same exact logic to defend Teez Tabor too... Probably the worst pick of the Quinn era. Oh but the Patriots liked him... You reference it but just saying when you use the logic when it fails it hurts using it later. I just would rather they go with it the way Patricia did in terms of actually selling me on the pick a little earlier.
I would say the Wings did themselves a disservice with how they sold the Rasmussen pick recently as well. People look at it as a safe pick in part because of what they said instead of really selling the pick as the homerun cut I have heard from several people that it was. It was bad messaging.
Sorry
@newfy I think the problem is the Ford family. It isn't Millen, the Lions were an unmitigated disaster before Millen as well. They have won a single playoff game since the late 50's. They haven't earned the benefit of the doubt no matter who is in charge until they are actually good they will continue to be the butt of jokes and whatever else, they have earned that role through decades of futility and ineptitude...
I don't necessarily hate his drafting, but we also need a few more homeruns in there. We shall see, again I cannot help but approach that team with as much caution as humanly possible.
