Why don't you try and own me in a debate sometime BS (how ironic are those initials) instead of making useless comments about a one line retort. He no more owned me than you could. Bring it sometime instead of running around like a horny groupie looking for attention.

quit crying

That was to me, not you. I actually expected an answer instead of a useless smart alec remark.

He was a UFA before this season started. After this season he shot all the way up to the 2nd and 3rd round.

Therefore he was overhyped.

No one "hyped" him except me and I don't think I ever had him above the 3rd round in any Mock I had him in. The fact remains when I first posted about the guy very few "experts" here had ever heard of the guy and he put up astronomical numbers. Any rising he had done was because of respect for his ability, not hype. Good luck finding be articles glowing about him. There may be one or two. That is it.

Learn what hype is before you shoot your mouth off.

When the top draft sites rate him as a 2nd and 3rd rounder after being a UFA just 5 months earlier..that's hype. You might call it respect, I call it hype since he hasn't done anything in the NFL to warrant that selection.

And stop talking about yourself. I said multiple times that it wasn't only you, but pretty much every draft website out there.

Danario Alexander to miss combine workouts
18
Feb
http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=684


One day after breaking the news that Demaryius Thomas will not participate in the combine due to a broken foot, TFY Draft Insiders has learned another highly rated receiver will miss the event because of an injury.
Sources have confirmed to us Danario Alexander, the leading receiver for the Missouri Tigers last season and a potential top 120 pick, had surgery on his left knee this past Tuesday. Alexander has been ruled out of participating in both the combine and his pro-day workout.

Alexander, who caught 113 passes last season for 1781 yards and 14 touchdowns, originally hurt his knee while participating at the Senior Bowl in January. His knee swelled after practice on Wednesday yet there was little pain. Alexander later decided to play in the game on Saturday.

The following week an MRI showed Alexander had a defect in the cartilage of his left knee. A team of specialists, including Dr. James Andrews, consulted with Alexander and recommended he undergo a surgical procedure to alleviate the situation prior to the combine.

Dr. John Uribe, presently the team doctor for the Miami Hurricanes, performed the surgery. Uribe is best known for reconstructing the knee of Willis McGahee after his horrifying injury during the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.

Alexander suffered a prior knee injury in college, tearing an ACL in the same left knee during the 2007 Big Twelve title game. The two injuries are not related and Alexander will send a letter, signed by Dr. Uribe, to all 32 NFL teams stating as much.

Though he will be unable to workout at the combine and pro-day, sources have told SI.com Alexander will be ready to go by training camp.

A vital weapon in the Missouri Tiger offense the past three seasons, Alexander accounted for 191 receptions and 2778 receiving yards during his college career.

The injury and resultant surgery came as a surprise to many as Alexander’s combine preparations were exceeding expectations. During recent training the 6-foot, 4-inch, 221-pound receiver had been running forty times that hovered in the very low 4.4-second range besides posting a broad jump of 11-feet, 1-inch and touching 43 inches on the vertical jump.

Well alot of them.
Slate, I am a Draft Junkie, just like plenty of people on this forum. You cannot name one Draft site who was hyping Danario Alexander. I know you can't. You know you can't. Rising up draft charts is not hype.

Like I said, learn what hype is before you shoot off your mouth.

That is the fan forum section of the site.

Correct? You know it is and that my point is dead on.

That Danario isn't receiving any hype by more than just you?

On this forum? On the Draft Sites?

You know I am right. All of this is hollow ignorance.

You asked who besides yourself is hyping him up. There are thousands upon thousands of people who love the draft. If you look hard enough, you can always find a set of people hyping someone up.

You want me to believe that Slate read that fan forum and that was the hype he meant?

That's the story you're going to stick to?

Your little owned jokes are not only stupid, but wrong. At least you tried to hang in a debate for a change. Too damned bad you couldn't. Color me not shocked.

SLATE could have pulled it out of his *** for all I know. But to believe that there isn't going to be some sort of hype attached to Danario Alexander is naive to say the least. Look at the stats he pulled. You may have saw it coming before anyone else, but still...

You can pull draft info from places other than Cowboyszone. Try it out.

I literally told Slate that I know all the Draft sites back in post #32. In other words, I know that there are Draft sites and I am clearly familiar with them and that it goes beyond this site. That comment was more stupid than the rest. Either learn to read or to interpret plain English.
