Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
Anybody who reads King on SI.com knows he is a freakin idiot. His predictions are often laughable and way way off-base...

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
OMG, Peter King didn't say something positive about the Redskins. Is anyone shocked? Yawn. Who cares. Wasted energy to worry about the likes of Pasquerelli and King at this point.

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
King would snub Peter if he had a chance. It's a shame when you don't even like yourself.

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
OMG, later in the same article he says that Hunter Smith doesn't have a really strong leg. Why oh why does Peter King hate the Redskins so much?!?! He continues to make me want to vomit with disgust.

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
Given the number of players he mentioned that were drafted outside the first round, this appears to be a case of King throwing a bunch of less prominent names out there, and if any stick, he'll be able to say that you heard it from him first. He will be writing accolades for Orakpo soon enough.

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
Most of the players listed are late round picks people. In that context I would say his main goal is to give his readers some sleeper picks and late round gems.
Redskins Nation needs to get a grip on it's "the media hates us" complex. It is what it is. |

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
Rak will be garnering his share of press as the season progresses and he becomes more comfortable within the system and playing a new position. Talent always rises to the top. Like truth. Truth is, Peter King's a douche.

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
Yawn.
Who cares what Peter King thinks? I never read his uninformed opinion pieces. So he went to journalism school, that does not make him a football expert. He is an overrated gas bag. |

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
I don't agree with Peter King here necessarily, but I think people here tend to go a bit overboard in their disgust of him when he doesn't rush to praise the Skins.
I mean he was apparently brilliant just a couple of weeks ago http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-l...-redskins.html

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
This is more of an "I told you so, I'm a genius" set-up. If any of these players are successful he'll say "See I saw that before everyone else." If not, no one will remember the article or he'll say, "So and so looked good in camp/pre-season, but didn't make the adjustment to the NFL."

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
Don't forget how smitten he was with JC last year, now look at JC.

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
surprise?
how can this many people be shocked at a peter king article, after being shocked at the last 45 columns he's written? where's this reserve of shock and outrage hidden? I feel like i'm missing out... |

Re: Peter King Snubs Orakpo
I'm thinking along the lines of firstdown and hooskins when it's quite feasible that PK is talking about players he's actually seen in person...either way, if you think Orakpo was snubbed, talk to the other guys picked ahead of him...
