That is a perfectly rational position Chop.
There is a saying in sales...a truth in fact..
"People will always pay more for what they want than they will for what they need"
The underlying psychology is deep. But simple in the end.
I, and others who want to draft Love,...want that feeling I get when our RB jukes, side steps, slips, spins, barrels, and leaps ...and each move has the potential to get him loose.
Hell, I even want that "aaaah maaaaaann" disappointment when the razzle dazzle just isn't enough.......this time
And a side note...I am an autistic person...it's rare for us to be athletic. .. but, I can't deny that Love being autistic as well has a strong influence on me wanting him on our squad... it would be nice to see one of us hit big in pro sports......
But I also know the autistic mind. I know Love sees the game differently from other players.... that difference could very well lead him to greatness on the field...will it? Probably not...picking the negative stance is definitely the easier choice...
But he could...and "IF" he does. I would like to see the redbird on his helmet as he does it..
Might be smarter to trade back a few times and draft big Max around 18 or 20.
But we have made the "smart" pick...over...and over....and over....
And it hasn't gotten us crap.
One trip to the dance with a rebel dinosaur coach and a QB with a chip on his shoulder...and our "Window" slammed shut.
So screw it.. I'm a fan. Fans want to have fun. Fans like sexy exciting picks...total flip in philosophy for me. We suck. We always suck. That's not going to change. So fudge it... I want to have fun while we suck
Our next SB window will still come around in 2048 or so no matter who we pick.
It's like getting a Pity Drop in a video game... the universe grants us a Pity Window of 1 or 2 years every 25 years or so...it will come back around on schedule no matter who we draft tomorrow.
So I just want to have some excitement while we wait.
