Boooooooooooring.Far better to do some pre-crapping on him even though he has yet to walk thru the gates at IGF. What if he turns out to be good? Then we'd really look silly saying how bad he is. Got to get the complaining and insults in now, just in case. It's called being proactive.
Why is this guy specifically getting crapped on though? Just because some people on a message board think he was a reach pick? From what I've read he accomplished much more in his CIS career than Jade ever did. Sounds like legitimate cred to me. It's like you said, stupid to criticize before anyone sees him play. These are draft picks (that sometimes take a few years to develop) they are not sure things. All of them, including those selected by other teams.
