He also would not have been in a situation if had chosen to get in a car. It is pretty amazing that your brother nearly died last night and you have no concern about his riding a motorcycle

I never said I don't want to wear a helmet and I am not sure where you got that. I drove a bike for 6 years and wore a full faced helmet everytime. I just didn't kid myself that being on a bike was safe.

Just the fact that you said "drove a bike" proves that you did not, in fact, ride a bike in any fashion.

My bro doesn't own a car.

He'd have hit the deer last night no matter if he was on two wheels or four. The deer could have come through the windshield and killed him. Would you be saying he should never drive a car?

yes, because people never die when the car they are in hits a deer. riding is a lifestyle, of which you obviously do not partake.

i have had good friends die in bike accidents and ride more in their honor rathef than less due to fear

You keep turning this around into a defense of bike riding which I am not attacking. To the extent i think you are just creating strawmen at this point.

Read my posts in the a.m. with a clear head.

Don't forget he's a cyclist, not a biker.

Well I can see there is no point with this thread, devolution into insults as usual.

Hope your bro feels better and floppin i hope you don't go to jail!

Later

Yes, you are. You've done nothing but attack riding. lol

No I clearly stated that I support cyclists and have been consistent on that all along. The word cyclists is something i gained while living overseas. Same with driving a bike. Sorry if I don't use the proper words.

So far you've insinuated my brother deserved it because he rides a bike. You've insinuated that biker's are idiots for riding bikes. You've insinuated that just getting on a bike is dangerous all by itself.

Calling a biker a cyclist around these parts is just asking for an ass kicking if you say it to the wrong one. ;)

I did not insinuate that your brother deserved anything.

I did not insinuate that bikers are idiots in fact I have constantly defended bikers both here and in real life.

I have insinuated that getting on a bike is extremely dangerous relative to getting in a car.

My point is that the biggest factor of whether you will die on a motorcycle is the fact that you got on a motorcycle not whether you wore a helmet.

As far as getting my ass kicked by a redneck who doesn't understand semantics, I'm not too worried about that.

Tell your brother to get well soon.

It's obvious you know absolutely nothing of the biker world. Or even the fringe of it. Maybe you should just stop digging yourself a hole.

You're comments have come off as being holier than thou and condescending toward bikers.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
