No, it wasn't. You continue to make the same, dumb (mistake?) CJ did. If you think they are a joke, then you are a joke, too. You are doing the same thing. And you are continuing to do it and defending it after it has been pointed out what you are doing.
I will walk you through it again.
1) Rang says:
“Cincinnati has dedicated a lot of draft picks and money to its skill positions and is now hoping that Fairchild can step right into a starting role as a rookie. He was overshadowed for much of his time at Georgia, and the megawatt star power in Cincinnati guarantees the same will occur with the Bengals, even if he plays well as a rookie. I like his bulk, strength, agility, and mentality and think he’ll prove a longtime starter, perhaps emerging as the best guard for the Bengals since Montoya, the only player at this position ever selected to the Pro Bowl from Cincinnati,” Rang wrote.
2) That isn't comparing him to Montoya. That is saying, perhaps, he could be be best guard SINCE Montoya. That is a comparison to every guard after Max, not to him.
3) CJ author, either being too dumb to know what comparison means, or wanting a clickbait headline, posts an article with the headline about comparing Fairchild to Montoya.
4) A bunch of folks, who either only read the headline and not the actual quote, or also lack the understanding of what comparison means or the ability to recognize one when they see one, repost the initial, completely inaccurate headline.

5) This fact gets pointed out to you by multiple posters in this thread, and you double down on your initial mistake.
Look, I hate to be a jerk, but I think it is necessary here. I was nice the first time, but patience is wearing thin. I get that some folks do not excel at reading comprehension, so I guess I will have to give an example.
Comparison of Mahommes to Brady: "Patrick Mahommes is better than Tom Brady."
Not a comparison of Mahommes to Brady: "Since Brady retired, Mahommes is the best QB in the NFL."
That is a comparison of Mahommes to every other QB in the league since Brady retired. NOT to Brady himself. See the difference?
Now try it with Montoya and Fairchild!
