Your breakdown of my comments are interesting, I interpret that entire thing as your guy who's butt hurt because someone doesn't agree that his favorite valley player is the greatest ever only great. .
You've done a lot of incorrect interpreting. I don't expect that to stop now.
I've participated on this site for many years and have had many spirited debates with many different people. I have no issue with a differing opinion as long as the person has insight or a viable frame of reference into the topic. In this case, you don't -- which was obvious from the get go and why I questioned you as I did.
What makes your opinion on this subject so high and mighty and that you throw shade on anybody who has a difference of opinion?
While it unnecessarily had to go in a big circle, you finally answered the question and we got to the crux of the point. Onterrio Smith played in nearly 40 Varsity games during his HS career and you saw a grand total of one of them. ONE. Furthermore, you readily admit to only seeing Najee Harris play once too yet you somehow believe that puts in a position to have an educated and credible opinion on both of them? You're a piece of work.
While my "opinion" is still just an opinion, it certainly is much more educated and rooted in first hand observation -- which was precisely the point I made from the outset. I find it quite unlikely that anyone that saw Smith play a lot would contest the comment I made. However, you did and now we know the reasons why. Thanks for that.
How else I am supposed to interpret a sentence that says, "Najee has nothing on him in HS?"
Not the way you chose to interpret it. That's already been addressed and covered so no need to do it again. Go back and re-read.
Your still questioning the fact I saw both play, have you seen both?
I didn't feel this needed to be addressed earlier since it should have been apparent, but, since you asked -- yes, I have seen both play. Numerous times. I coached in the 90's and 2000's and not only attended a myriad of games all over NorCal, I had to scout and study film. I saw Onterrio from his frosh days on up. At least 6-7 games per season. I've seen Najee in person or via stream/HUDL at least a dozen or more times. With today's technology, most avid followers have seen Najee play quite a bit, even if unable to attend the games. There are a lot of resources out there.
With regard to all needless banter and venting you decided to include -- that I won't bother quoting -- you're clearly upset and defensive that you got called out and exposed for jumping into a conversation with little to nothing to offer all while pretending that wasn't the case.
My two sentence response to what you said to Paloma didn't make you believe? I'm sorry next time I'll produce a ticket stub from 1997 and a home movie that shows I was there to validate your concerns of weather I was there or not which you already know the answer to.
To repeat myself again, your uninformed response caused the skepticism. And, again, my suspicion was spot on. You simply don't have enough insight or first hand observation to know what you're talking about. Between the two players, around 67 games have been played to this point in time and you saw one game each.
Rather than spin wheels over the fact that you saw them play once, how about providing a reasonable explanation why you believe your extremely limited view gives you enough insight to form a credible opinion one way or the other? Once you come up with that answer, how about following up with why anybody here should take you seriously from this point on?
I know you can't possibly come up with a good answer because there simply isn't one. I'll just bow out from this point on and allow you the last words, which I'm certain will be more of the same type of posturing.
