Carry on.

I think he just made the mistake of confusing your opinion for the law of the site.

It can be tough to keep the two entities seperate, I realize. But the Mike Williams argument seems almost irrelivant, and I'm surprised that the site polarized on this issue so quickly.

As for my opinion, I don't really view Mike Williams and Brandon Lloyd any different as players. But if we had brought Lloyd in here for less than a million dollars a season, and signed him as someone else's castoff as opposed to giving 2 picks for him, I'd defend the move to sign him far more often than I do.

I don't know where we have the roster room for Mike Williams, but still it seems like a more relevant topic than the next Mike Espy conversation.

Well said, unfortunately that happens a lot. Not sure what I can really do about it unless I start posting under an alias.

I think it just comes with the territory, and I'm not sure theres a whole lot that can be done.

I'm just shocked that this Williams issue got ugly fast. I can't think of too many other players in the league that I would like to avoid talking about more.

Although this thread should be allowed, I personally feel it very much like that South Park episode about Mormons.
