The homerism is strong on this forum.

So, if someone thinks he is a better prospect than you do, that makes them a homer?
AA's replacement next season!!

No. But the same posters defending EVERY draft pick like they're going to be great, and attacking anyone with a different opinion, is homerism.

It was. I would've taken OBO or even Sweat who you know, nothing big or anything but could actually play this year and add to our pass rush department.

In addition to homerism there is also a larger degree of cynicism.

IMO, I trust JL/KS know what they are doing.

Only time will tell.
Whew. So happy to sign this guy.

Both are equally annoying. It's like there can't be conversation in the middle.

No. But the same posters defending EVERY draft pick like they're going to be great, and attacking anyone with a different opinion, is homerism.

Eh, everybody has a right to their opinion. It's not like opinions are gonna effect the outcome. Plus, it's a fan forum... What do you expect?

If you are here for healthy discussion, calling out everyone who disagrees with you isn't gonna help your cause.

Attacking the posters or attacking the posts?

And again, what makes it a reach?

I wasn't "calling out everyone." There are a select few who seem to bouncing from thread to thread making it sound like every draft pick is going to be all-pro. That's as annoying as the cynics saying that every pick was terrible. Very difficult to have a healthy discussion when threads are inundated with this from both sides.

You can choose to ignore those posts and have discussions with reasonable, intelligent, objective, handsome, and virile posters like me.

I'm trying to not attack the posters, but calling it "homerism." Not calling anyone a "homer" which would mean they're unable to be objective, ever. At this point I can't help but find it comedic that people are able to come on this forum and be over the top negative or positive, without repercussion. But if someone calls them out for it, mods come jumping in to save the day. This entire forum is getting weird, I'm going to try my best to just avoid certain threads. The ignore feature is a joke, because you can still see the person's name and frequency of posts.

And I'm firmly on record that we needed an edge rusher and didn't get one, instead wasting picks on positions where we have far too many players (CB), and ignoring positions of need (edge, LB). Guys who won't even play in 2018 should be signed as UDFA (if that), not drafted in the 4th round. There are quality starters available every year in round 4, and this teams needs more than a few. It's a waste of a pick, and it's what we all hated Baalke for. But nothing I say is going to prove that it was a reach, regardless of how many experts I cite saying that Street was a 6-7th round guy or UDFA. The response will be "NFL GM's are professionals and know more than everyone."

Again, I'll try to do a better job of avoiding saying anything remotely negative about a Niner player, so as not to trigger anyone.

Like I said, I will try harder at doing that. It would be nice if the ignore feature completely blocked everything from a poster.
17 pages and not much new added on Street.

He may be a steal, he may be a waste, he may be a serviceable pro, but we won't know for 16 months or so.

Lots of people annoyed that a team in need of talent took a red shirt player.

Lots of people think he could have been picked a LOT later, others think he was going to be picked any second after the 49ers picked him.
