This type of article reminds me of local sports radio hosts who have to drum up something to talk about for 4 hours....when they set up a straw man argument just to have something to talk about to fill time (or generate website hits in this case)

Host 1: Some people are saying that <local team player who is league average> is the best/worst in the league.

Host 2: Wow, that's crazy, I have been hearing that too...I didn't even believe it

Host 1: I know right, lets knock down the fictional argument that no one is making for the next hour until <local team's> back up Long Snapper will join us to talk the NFL Draft.
