OK but even this poll:

Shows a pretty even split when people were asking who Buffalo would select - Reinhart or Bennet.
So the two polls combined certainly don't suggest that there was a "lot more support" for Reinhart. Nor do I recall people roasting anyone about Reinhart's game translating because that's been the worry about him as a prospect for some time.
