I root for Alex because I respect the player, but there is nothing wrong with fans wanting the best draft pick they can. Have you seen our WR situation? Our pass rush situation?
Seriously...
I don't know if you noticed, but a couple days ago, I was called a "troll" around here for expressing the same opinion. I'm not real adamant about it because I don't know that there is a lot of difference between a mid-level second round pick and one in the mid to high 20's, but still - my only point was that the higher the second round pick, the better for the Niners.
Not that it matters, but you can say the same thing in two or more ways. If you tell others they are not fans if they disagree, or even imply it, some may find it irritating. If on the other hand, you state your opinions and leave others to theirs it is less provocative. I understand the point of view very well but balance my other wants and needs differently than the two of you may...still not a big deal.
As far as using the term troll...I try not to use it and usually regret it when I do. So my apologies. However, when it appears a poster seeks out conflict on a consistent basis with those who disagree...that doesn't seem healthy.
The old wounds will heal eventually and those of us who felt for years that crazy attacks on the teams QB were really beyond the pale will get over it...especially as many of the most outlandish offenders were/are banned!
