He's not talking specifically about me, no. Partially, but not directed solely at me. But there are plenty of people here who bring up fairly mild and reasonable critiques of portions of Penix's makeup as a prospect and get the same treatment with the same "you don't watch him, obviously" swipes.
Dismissing fair points as "they don't watch football, obviously" over and over and over is just an insult to anyone who disagrees - and the majority disagree with his assessment of Penix. Even people higher than baseline on Penix would get this treatment if they don't tab him as a sure thing, immediate face-of-the-franchise stud.
The truth is that he's a lefty with questionable pocket presence, questionable decision making under duress, questionable footwork, and 2 ACL tears on the same knee. He also has bar-none the best arm in the class, makes several absolute mic drop throws per contest, and seems to have some modicum of "clutch" to his game.
This all adds up to a prospect worthy of fandom and support, but with undeniable red flags and, I'm sorry, a far-from-sure-thing chance of pro success. I don't see why anyone would be insulted by that evaluation, which is in line with most educated evaluations that have been posted on the guy, yet here we are.
Of course, they clearly don't watch, so who knows.
