fair enough to some degree, but let's face it...no college athlete has experienced nfl talent because they were not in the nfl. Otherwise there would never be a bust found in r1 or r2, likely even r3. But many in those rounds do bust. Many picked relatively close to where greenwood was bust also, and then of course you have the undrafteds who become pro bowlers or better. It's no better than going to a casino...you know the house is favored to take all your money, but you still roll the dice on what you perceive to be the best odds for winning.
Point being we all want to wait and see how the kid will perform and are hopeful that he has a great future. I get you are upset about some of us hoping he might one day be a solid #2, or even a #1 cb, but is that really any different than any of the other cbs drafted by any team? Even peterson struggled last year, so i don't think any of us are expecting greenwood to immediately dominate. There isn't any more bs being placed toward greenwood than any other cb drafted by the lions or any other team. More talk sure, but it is one of the human nature storylines, pulling for the underdog, the nobody who becomes the hero. Any drafted or undrafted cb could dominate, any of them could bust. All players are projects and you have to wait and see how they will eventually turn out. No different with stafford, cj, suh, fairley, best, leshoure, or anyone else.
Sorry, i just don't see your viewpoint on this as you like the kids potential based on measureables, but are upset by the expressed hopes other fans - and i'm guessing the fo - have for him. Whether you communicate them or not, i think your hopes for him are actually no different than the rest of us simply because he is honolulu blue, so i don't understand the complaints you have expressed. Is it simply because of the larger amount of discussion than with, say, bentley? Look at the bright side, we don't have tebowesque mania for him and he wasn't drafted in r1.
