Sheesh. This board is getting as bad as the original Dawgtalk. Everyone and their dog can start a new thread about their latest mock draft prediction, but try to post an actual content-based articles about how scouts are rating players and suddenly the refs get their panties in a bunch.

Case in point, the recent bonehead deletion of the "Quinn: Biggest Fraud in the Draft" post.

I can only assume, since no reason was given, that you think an article of such importance should be burried 4 pages deep in an unrelated thread -- in a two-week old thread discussing the first 12 picks in the draft.

The "Kiper Says Quinn Could Drop to Dolphins" thread is for discussing Kiper's opinion of Quinn, the reasons why he thinks he will drop from top-5th to mid-first round -- totally unrelated to his playing skills.

The "Quinn: Biggest Fraud in Draft" article, as reported by Yahoo! and TheSportingNews is a completely different opinion, the title contains a direct quote from the article, it has a link to a completely different site, it has nothing to do with Kiper, the Dolphins, or the reasons why a first-round slip could occur, casts Quinn in a completely different light, and is of immediate interest to Browns fans -- which I have to assume makes it worthy of deletion.

But, I guess here at DawgTalkers we're more interested in cluttering up the board with the latest "Take Troy Smith in Round 1!!!" threads than actual new, relevant, published content that readers can find at a glance.

If you want to learn about Kiper's opinion of Quinn, I can understand why you would want people to click on the "Kiper Says Quinn Could Drop to Dolphins" thread.

If the Kiper thread had been titled "Collected Opinions About Brady Quinn Published Over the Past 2 Week Period", perhaps I would see your point of view. But, I guess when things are slow, you've gotta have something to do, right?

The article you posted had already been posted in the current Quinn thread, which is where it belonged.

Calling decisions boneheaded and addressing us in the manner you have is not appreciated or warranted.

Funny I didnt see anybody posting a "plethora" of threads like that.

I think the board has had enough of the Brady Quinn talk to gag a maggot though.

You can never predict what the refs will consolidate. They dont know either. they do the best they can and generally do a pretty good job.... much better than most.
