Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2480362, member: 716"] I agree (which is why I tend to stay out of the Frank threads - while I always want to defend my favorite players, like Scoop and Frank, the kid's play has been limited enough that I don't have anything positive to say). But while it's true that Howard's got obvious limitations, I think there's room to point out a likely bias against him on the part of some fans. Because of various innuendos surrounding his behavior last year (stories that I know you know as second-hand fact but stuff that is unfounded rumor to 95% of the posters on here), a lot of people aren't particularly warm to Frank and don't give him the benefit of the doubt that similarly-mediocre SU players have gotten in the last few seasons. In that sense, there's some hypercriticism at play - his performance has earned some criticism, but it's magnified by personal factors. [/QUOTE]
