Out of all of those comments, you focus on the "further ahead" line, which I'll bet even Zorn would say was a throwaway line?

Yes, because it's in the thread title. The Skins always do this hyping shit year in year out and I'm happy to shoot this "happy-hype-talk" down year in year out. I have always been consistent with my "show me, don't tell me" sentiments...if you don't already know you better ask somebody.

So calling the young WR's "sad" is "hyping shit"? Zorn's comments seemed to me to be a pretty honest and straightforward assessment.

That's one of the things I really like about him. You're not gonna get a whole lot of BS.

He isn't your son...no one here is and your dismissive attitude isn't cute or well liked by many. I tend to agree with you about the comments but the way you talk AT people is old.

Yes sir. Understood.

Purely statistically, I am likely older than you, so I could not be your "son."

From the standpoint of logic, ad hominem arguments (where you attack the person, not the argument) are always fallacious. They are always logically bankrupt. Ad hominem arguments also make you look foolish. So please, for the benefit of us both in the future, discuss my views rather than attacking my person.

So, back to the point: How is Zorn's calling the young WR's "sad" in your words "hyping shit?" Or is Zorn more honest than you give him credit for?

You should explore reading article linked to in the first post of the thread. Also, I'm entirely convinced you understand what ad hominem argument is.

I read the article (the second link is better) or I could not have asked the question. Here is what Zorn said about the young wide receivers:
"I think that's kind of the negative: we have the 'potential'. We've got some young guys, but they haven't really played yet. And that's what we're hoping, is that the 'potential' becomes a reality to what we think they're gonna be. And I'll tell you this: they have the attitude of want-to, and that's part of the battle, and they're also working hard to get it all down, listening to their coach, Stan Hixon, so that they can be in the right place at the right speed with the right cut and then finish it with the catch, and hopefully we'll get some yards after catch as well. So all those things'll be put together, but right now you're right, man: it's just potential. And that's kinda the sad thing about it."

So please answer my question: how is that "hyping shit"?
