This 'writer' obviously views him as 'can't miss'. Otherwise, why trade the best MLB in football for him?

I wouldn't trade LK for anything or any player in the league especially an unproven RB coming from a program that recently has an iffy lineage to the NFL.

What great comedy for a Thursday morning. WHAT. an. IDIOT.

Guy seems to be following the "hey I'll get a lot of clicks on my page by saying something idiotic" formula.

Congratulations on the clicks. Now people think you're an utter moron and won't care to read or take seriously anything that you write in the future.

All I want to know, is what kind of drugs is he doing? I will take a truckload

Henry will be out of the league before Luke, even if he turns out to be good.

Hey watch it, one of my best friends and mentors is the editor of the Independent Tribune. I don't know how he allows the garbage to be published though. Especially knowing his love for Luke

Because it creates page clicks and for people to sign up to read the "controversial" click me headline 

which is what people care about.

Unfortunately, "clicks" are big business in the age of social media. Whether they are warranted or not.

Not to side track to much, but take the UNC "scandal" for example. Media outlets (a few in particular that will remain nameless) essentially just rehash the same story every few months or so (we are about due for another one) but change a few words around or include speculation to add a different spin to it .....and boom! They have recycled the story and the clicks. There's people who the public view as credible that obviously have no idea what they are talking about, but Joe Schmo is Lincoln Nebraska reads it as the gospel. 

Journslism is suffering because of social media.

Why quote me? Trading Luke=stupid was my point, especially for a unproven (in the NFL) RB who may not pan out at all.

Ok so even if I was looking at this objectively, this article is so poorly written from a Journalistic perspective. Basically he vehemently states that he feels so strongly about Henry that he'd trade Kuechly for him. But why Luke? He literally offers no defense as to why he'd trade the best MLB in the league. Also, there is zero substance as to why Henry is worth it other than he won the Heisman so he must be good. He complains that the Heisman has lost its value, but he basically equally devalues DPOY in the NFL in the same sentence. The only stats he offered was that he averaged 6 yds per carry at Bama and that Cam had more rushing TD's than J Stew.

I know bashing on this is stating the obvious, but geez what a crock. I'm not against drafting Henry. I'm not super stoked on him in Round 1, but if Gettleman traded up in Round 2 to get him ala Devin Funchess a year ago, I wouldn't hate it. But to suggest trading Luke for Henry is asinine. But everyone here knows that already.

Why not sweeten the pot and add Cam to the trade as well? I don't think I can live without having that Eric Shelton 2.0 on our roster. Get it done Gettleman!

A few days ago, I woke up & my 4 year old was standing beside the bed.

"Good morning daddy!"

 "Morning Mich... Why do you have a potato?"

Hey looks me dead in the eye & says "I'm building a house for the cat."

...That made more sense than this poo show of a trade.
