But there is plenty of room on the opposite side of that fence as well. many who actually work for the league, perhaps even Marty Hurney.

So, we both have valid opinions. No?

Yes, and I've never disputed that.

Saying I think you're wrong isn't the same as saying your opinion is biased or illegitimate.

falcons fans, bucs fans, saints fans - hell, every random visitor to this site - must be laughing their asses off at this forum right now.

all the regular members...it's just another day.

:thumbsup:

I was on a broncos forum earlier today just to get an idea of what they think of John Fox. Amazingly the topics are similar to this board. The responses are similar too. There does seem to be less trolling.

ThePokerDB can link one name to all accounts and tell us how much you've won in total, not just how much you have in there. PocketFives used to but I'm not sure if it does anymore.

There are similar sites for sports betting.

It's cool man I was just asking. It's not like if you tell us your name we can hack your account. The Govt already did that.

LOL. Hopefully not but they did shut us down from playing at several websites with the indictment that came down a few days ago. Some are still letting us play for now. :(

You said I was biased in this very thread :lol:

Which is cool. I don't mind that. I have an opinion that I defend vigorously as do you. Mine is well thought out and constructed and many people agree with me as is yours.

Please find one instance of me calling you a racist.

Now who's being the paranoid one?

Or maybe you're just projecting something?

My default response to the "football reasons" is... GIVE SOME PROOF BESIDES YOUR SLANTED OPINION. No one has done that yet.

Again, where did I talk about race in this thread... where did ANYONE talk about race here? wtf are you talking about?

You can "hate" someone without their race being a factor. Maybe you hate Newton for the off-field allegations leveled at him. Or maybe you hate him because you are a Crimson Tide fan. Or maybe you hate him because you don't like Auburn. Or maybe you hate him because you like Matt Moore better?

IDK WHY you are against him. But the "football reasons" aren't flying anymore. Everything that's ever been brought up against him for "football reasons" is either extremely minor, or he's gone great lengths, already, as an undrafted agent, to correct or has proven are not a factor.

Your constant throwing back to saying "race" as a motivating critisism of your stand against him really speaks a lot to me. Your ridiculous "race quiz" shows some sort of serious problem with your thinking on this subject. I really think you need to check yourself in this department.

Or maybe I don't hate him at all :rolleyes:

Maybe I think what I've seen of his skill set won't translate to the pros.

Maybe I think that the transition from the simplistic offense he ran to one that's as complicated as ours is going to be will take too long.

Maybe I think that we've already got enough young quarterback prospects and we'd be wiser to use our top pick on a different area of need and sign a veteran quarterback instead.

Maybe I have too many questions abut whether he's going to be good enough in the pros to feel confident about taking him with the #1 overall pick in the draft.

Maybe I think the quarterback crop next year will have more and better choices than this year's.

Maybe I think the things I've just written out apply to all the quarterback prospects, not just Cam Newton.

And maybe, just maybe, those things reflect, partially or fully, what several other members of the "anti QB" crowd think.

No...hate...required.

Maybe some of you guys who keep throwing the accusations around can try wrapping your heads around those ideas rather than just name-calling, and perhaps then we could actually have a substantive discussion :nonod:

Ok... all that... ALL OF IT... has no basis in REAL "football reasons". It is all fear.

You fear he can't throw the ball as well as he can run it.

You fear he's too stupid to learn a complex offense.

You fear he won't be worth the investment.

And all these things, all of them... he's actually gone to length to work on or prove false.

FEAR bro... is often a sign of hate.

So I give you football reasons, and rather than actually address them, you redefine them as "hate".

And you also neglect the fact that these concerns apply to all the prospects, not just one.

In other words, doing exactly what I said you would do.

Congrats man. You just lost this debate big time :nonod:

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
