Kinda pleasantly surprised that the poll numbers have held up for the moderns to this point. I still suspect that if this thread stays around long...
I'm inclined to think that he could have been alot better if he was managed and trained differently. I'm inclined to think that about most of the...
Yeah, agreed on the question marks on all of them. My thing is you've basically got about 5 shws who have done enough to give hope they could be...

I lol'd at this. Good descriptions tough call. Lean toward 2 but how do you turn down matrixing!
Yeah, that is a good counter argument. Some good classicists brought issues like that up, but when you think about it, it probably only mitigates...
