Come on. If that’s the standard, then no one can have an opinion on any player, good or bad.
You can’t tell me you were pleased with how he did this season.
Totally speculating on why he got playing time but it could be his relationship with Ward and he was paid to transfer here.
I hope that’s the reason and not that our freshman receivers weren’t good enough.
Here's the comment I replied to:
"Sam Brown needs to go. He's taking snaps from the freshman who should be playing."
I made mention of this being a Mesidor thread, which is totally fair. I then asked the commenter what makes him qualified to say that the freshmen should be playing over Brown. If he's at the practices, then say so. Otherwise the comment he made is based on nothing more than presumption. It's cliché and lazy.
Regarding my satisfaction with Brown, I thought he was mid; nothing special. Do I think he took snaps from freshmen who should be playing? Eh, I don't know that. Would I have liked to have seen Ny Carr and Jojo more, sure I guess; but only if I knew they were appreciably better than Brown. Unless I'm watching them practice, train and study, how can I possibly know that? Having an opinion is different than making declaratory statements. I read "put in the backup" the same as "bad evals" and "lack of player duhvelopment." Overblown, overused, and based on nothing more than conjecture.
If you read the last two sentences of what you wrote, you should be able to clearly see how the reader can't really object to what you wrote - it's an opinion where you included "Totally speculating" and "I hope." I'm not trying to turn this into some second rate English writing lesson here (sorry about that), but I am trying to illuminate why so many comments get disregarded. I hope this makes more sense on where I was coming from.
