We're fans.
We get our info from looking at games.
We sometimes buy data from PFF and other places.
Some of us have played the game in college (I didn't) and so perhaps understand the game better than others of us.
We have NO inside-the-walls intel.
We are unaware, often, of issues that have never been made public (medical or psychological issues, for example). Nuances to contracts that have great effect in a wider context. Taking someone in this draft that is a headscatcher, because the GM is looking to the next draft and thinking that position is going to be very weak next time around.
But in the end ALL of us are merely offering our opinions. None of us are experts. None of us are paid to get it right or have our jobs on the line because of it.
Just like the experts, we'll get some right and some wrong.
Yet no harm in standing firm and advocating passionately for our personal viewpoint as fans. But it's sure refreshing when occasionally someone says: wow, was I ever wrong on that one! Like when I was so wrong about Gurley being overrated.
Best,
Laram
