But the fact is, every single thing you said to me was essentially "AP is all hype; he's nowhere near as good as everyone says he is; Lynch is the best RB in the draft, period". I've since learned that everything you say is just propaganda to shore up your trading position, but I'm just enjoying the realization that you didn't actually believe the crap you were trying to sell me.
I don't have the IM record, of course, but if you'd like, I can quote your comments in the threads to back this up. You can try to use the Frenzy/SACD distinction now, but you were NEVER making that argument then, even when I opened the door wide open for it.

Funny, I don't recall ever discussing :frenzy vs. :sacd with you when it came to the 2 of them. I DID talk from a :Frenzy perspective at the time, however, since A, we were in the midst of the Frenzy draft, and B you're a Frenzy leaguemate, so I saw no reason to discuss it any other way.
My Frenzy needs and SACD needs are completely different. I stand by everything I said about Lynch. I think Lynch is going to be a HUGE stud and WILL outvalue AP his 1st few years in the NFL. FOr a team built to win now, Lynch is a better play IMO. And again,
IF I HAD 1.01 IN :frenzy I WOULD HAVE TAKEN LYNCH.
My SACD team on the other hand is a team I'm building for 2008 or 2009 around a core of young RB's. I can afford more patience with AP and think big picture, particularly looking at the reneg side of things where I can plan on a guy for potentially his entire career.
Also, having Chester Taylor in the fold already makes AP a better match for my SACD team. They provide a level of insurance for each other in the short term that I wouldn't get with Lynch.
Why is it so hard for you to understand that I can value players differently between leagues? Circumstance and rules certainly should play a part.
And quite honestly, I remain a HUGE Lynch supporter and still have my concerns about AP (the hype being one of them), but in SACD, I rolled the dice. Variety is good sometimes ya know?
