Bullshit you have been defending Murphy and Long for 4 months now. Don't back down now that TC is coming up.
defending them and saying they are all stars are 2 totally different things

The players from that draft class are Moses and Breeland. Long has a chance to start this year and if he doesn't win it I call it a failure b/c the competition is average at best. IMO Murphy should have a role on special teams. I don't see him contributing much on defense at all. If so great. These were my predictions 4 months ago and I am sticking with them.
and we have said that those players have 11 and 23 career starts collectively and have performed at or better then most of their peers . if long is a 10 year career BU and a spot starter then he would have performed at or above his peers . if murphy does the same then he will have performed at or above his peers .
perhaps TM wont challenge for starting time this year but in 17 he could once he learns the nuances of the position . Long could very well be the starter and at worst the 1st interior o/lineman off the bench for the center of the o/line he could be the starting center in 17
that is my damn opinion and it is as valid as yours if not more so
i dont disagree. Long could be the backup center on this team. But he should be the starter by now. We did take him over Gabe Jackson.

Dean...I will defend a player that outperformed his draft position. I showed you he outperformed his draft position. I never said he was great and always said PS was the higher ceiling player.
I did defend Long because he is still young and growing as a player. The battle between him and Jackson isn't over. I have justified why they took Long because he is on this team and professional scouts made the call. You touted GJ because of a collegiate reward...I trumped your collegiate reward with a more prestigious one. A collegiate injury slowed Long that very year and time will tell. Long had zero penalties and gave up zero sacks. That is verifiable and not an opinion. I have stated we haven't seen enough to make judgements on players.
Back down? I will go with what I have always said. TM and Long will make the team. Long will start.
And thats what really bothers you. Sure as the sun rises every year you develop a man crush on a particular player. And if the Skins dont draft that player, you will dog the hell out of what ever player we DID pick over you beloved. On the off chance we did pick your man crush ( in this case Moses) you will talk that player up as if he were the greatest draft pick ever and continue to belittle and berate or look for issues in the player you didnt want us to take. Thats the real issue here. You felt MOses should have been drafted in the second round over Murphy. So short of Murphy making it into the Hall of fame, NOTHING he can do will be good enough.
Completely not true. Jackson is a better player then Long and Moses is a better player than Murphy. That's not my opinion I believe that is fact.

what more do we want out of a 3rd round pick o/lineman 11 starts in year 2 no sacks and no penalties , certainly not bad and shark is right . he does that with gabe jackson and he does that with leonard williams . he wanted them and he degrades the others because of it
Who gives a fuck?? Jackson is not on this team... and you are getting all Viagra Prime over Long possibly being cut to some how PROVE you were right and we should have drafted Jackson instead him. Flip side is most Skins fans are not thumping their chest over our draft picks failing simply because they wanted the other guy. I hated the RG3 move more than any one on the planet. But I was also the only one saying we should have held him to get SOMETHING for him. Not crowing about how I was right all along.
Most Skins fans do critique draft picks. So I don't know why you are getting all upset over this.
Most of us around here are not constantly running the line of, well we should have picked this guy and actually enjoying it when the guy we did pick fails out of some sense of See I was right logic.
