I found myself inspired after posting in another thread... But what a collapse this place has seen. It's embarrassing. 

I remember this board when Jake tore his elbow and then came back to throw 5 interceptions against the Cardinals, when Jimmy Clausen was supposed to be great and sucked, when Julius Peppers left for the Bears, when Andrew Luck went back to Stanford, when Ron Rivera's stoic sideline appearance during ass whoopings lost its charm, and many other shitty times. It has NEVER been this bad. Ever.

Now maybe Zod has abandoned this place. Maybe all of the veterans that kept this place humming are gone. But what is it going to take to get this place tolerable, let alone ENJOYABLE again? 

Disagreements? Sure. Pissed rants? Of course. Player bashings after a bad game? Understandable.

But this is different. It's toxic. And it is not only being tolerated, it has become the norm and precedent set for this place. I don't create threads much anymore, but this is my ONE attempt to ask for this place to be returned to the fans. If my attempt goes unheard or ignored, I'll simply walk away quietly like so many others have.

But this place needs to either change or die. I hope my fellow veterans step up here. And I hope Zod steps up. This is your ship, Zod. And it is nearly sunk. Hopefully that means something.

Now I'm fully prepared to be roasted and attacked as has become the normal interaction around here. But I hope to be proven wrong.

I don't know what you are embarrassed about?

People get down in down times.  It's natural.

Maybe give some examples of what you deem so bad?  Maybe I am not paying as much attention, but I don't think the sky is falling.

You say you don't start threads anymore.  Why not try to be the change you want to see in the world?

Every thread turning to a fug Tepper and Bryce is Antichrist is what he’s talking about.

The thread could be about freaking Sam Mills and it will devolve into a Bryce debate for no reason.

What are some measures you would suggest? Mod enforced positivity about the team isn't an option. But if the problem is people fighting, report it when you see it.

No one needs to poo rainbows here. But if you can't see that this isn't an inviting place for fan conversation, I don't know what else to say other than you aren't paying attention.

Maybe my eyes just filter that.  I engage with who I want to have a discussion with, I guess.

It’s not enforced positivity man. Look at the EXCELLENT all 22 posts Icege did. The kind of stuff people on this board crave that we rarely get because the good posters have abandoned this place. Any other board I’m on would have quickly nipped that in the bud. It’s literally the same posters every time, it’s not hard.

Do you report it?  Their eyes can't be everywhere, and everyone has a different opinion of what is tolerable.

I report the physical threats I see in the game threads when things get heated. No im not gonna report the same 2-3 posters who derail every single thread, it seems the mods encourage that around here. Guess it’s all about post counts.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
