Where there is smoke.......
Lol! Apparently Dad would like to see the burnt house as proof. Not that there’s anything wrong with that...Where there is smoke.......
Well, he’s right in that sometimes the rumors take on a life of their own with nothing to back them up, and that could be the case here. But it’s been my experience that usually when you hear similar sentiments and observations from multiple different groups sayin the same thing, there is usually a grain of truth to them. As you pointed out, we have heard statements from beat writers, coaches, teammates, and former players on this situation and they all allude to a young man who is still very immature and has a ways to go to become an effective NFL QB. We, as fans, see these players 16-20 times a year. The coaches and teammates see the every day for 9 months. Hell, the beat writers have vast more access to teams than we do. So, in my mind, these groups are in much better position to see and evaluate what is going on. And when those in these positions all has a similar observation, it’s no unreasonable to believe that there may be something there that we just don’t see on Sundays.Lol! Apparently Dad would like to see the burnt house as proof. Not that there’s anything wrong with that...
Of course. But this has not been like that. Too many people, including Urban Meyer and no dissent from a single teammate...Well, he’s right in that sometimes the rumors take on a life of their own with nothing to back them up, and that could be the case here.
No one said you can’t have your opinion. Or that you don’t have reason. I simply reject you flat out shutting down posts that differ while rarely using diplomatic wording such as ‘agree to disagree...and here is why...’Again consensus by our beat reporters was Rueben Foster was guilty as sin . My dealings with these so called journalists covering the team tells me they do very little research . If they did they would have easily found out this girl lied about similar charges before , then when he is cleared of the charges not ONE offered an apology or retraction after they SMEARED him for 18 months .
They shut me down on Twitter because my position didn’t fit the narrative
I got mocked on this board numerous times for holding to my belief about UN named sources throughout the RG 3 debacle when the same allegations were put forth against him. Haven’t heard the brown or ravens publicly complain about his study habits either
I stand by my beliefs every single damn time and won’t back off of them because people blindly follow narratives
Now. My understanding of Greens comments deal with arrogance not study habits however he put his name to the accusations which gives him credibility
I have heard rumors of all sorts of things and yes EVERYONE of them can be true . Won’t deny it
However before I publicly slander and smear a guy in print I want hard identifiable sources and not the ramblings of a reporter looking for clicks
What I do buy is we have an arrogant , immature, poorly handled draft pick who needs to learn about being a professional qb on many fronts
Terry helps create openings, that is true. The rest is just plain stupid.Is sportsfan right here X and O gurus?
i dont shut down posters , i defend my positions hard . shutting posters down means i censor their views . i dont censor anyone . i give diplomacy when its given to me . i get the feeling that i somehow i am not allowed to defend my positions even though the person/persons can go full boreNo one said you can’t have your opinion. Or that you don’t have reason. I simply reject you flat out shutting down posts that differ while rarely using diplomatic wording such as ‘agree to disagree...and here is why...’
Now look, you don’t have to be diplomatic...this is a message board and anyone can post anything and anyone can also ignore anyone. I offer this as a suggestion because everyone is well aware of your feelings and I feel it hurts discussion (at times) from other posters who dissent.
That said, carry on. You may not care at all. Cool. I don’t have my panties in a wad about it. Just thought I’d mention something that might improve the tone of the board. Might not either.
And the popularity of this board is not proof of a healthy posting community tho it could be interpreted that way by you. I look at it as everyone loves drama and no one looks away from a train wreck.
If you can’t see any merit in my post than you aren’t looking at the man in the mirror.i dont shut down posters , i defend my positions hard . shutting posters down means i censor their views . i dont censor anyone . i give diplomacy when its given to me . i get the feeling that i somehow i am not allowed to defend my positions even though the person/persons can go full bore
sorry but give this talk to the others as well and then i will consider being less aggressive
but lets be real i am not a moderate in a discussion sense and i damn sure arent going to allow myself to be mocked because i demand something more then BS musings of a reporter who passes speculation off as fact .
that is an attempt to shut me down . as is others "left the board " because of me that duke pulled the other day as some sort of debating point about a subject being talked about and i will respond angrily about that cheap as crap
and i wont ever lay down on my ass to appease anyone
Your job here is to moderate, not give diplomacy to other posters regardless of what posters opinions are. Why are you ever offended by an opinion? Why did you even mention duke in this thread? He made a statement that YOU have driven posters away which is true. Your cronyism and angry responses to many post, comes off as well....you can figure it out but, you are not alone. Many posters feel anger responses will stamp the approval necessary to make their point however, it usually never does. Simply sets a negative tone on the board. No one is asking you or anyone else to "lay down on your ass to appease anyone", just moderate and post. It's that simple. I enjoy your input and many others do as well, as I told Duke, keep being you dad, its your right.i dont shut down posters , i defend my positions hard . shutting posters down means i censor their views . i dont censor anyone . i give diplomacy when its given to me . i get the feeling that i somehow i am not allowed to defend my positions even though the person/persons can go full bore

I brought it up because it happens . Duke used that statement as an attempt to invalidate my position as in “ your position is wrong because posters leave “ in an attempt to invalidate my position .Your job here is to moderate, not give diplomacy to other posters regardless of what posters opinions are.

A point I had forgotten about. Good call.The politics thread did. Oddly some of those that most wanted were the first to go
This. Everybody needs to grow a thicker skin and learn how to ignore posts or posters that irritate you. It’s really not that hard.dad did not drive posters away. The politics thread did. Oddly some of those that most wanted were the first to go. Duke left before because people were not agreeing with him, he left a second time for the same reason.
Stop the freaking drama.
i agreeThis. Everybody needs to grow a thicker skin and learn how to ignore posts or posters that irritate you. It’s really not that hard.
