trickblue;1125295 said:So... in a couple of hours we have a game that determines the direction of our team in regards to personnel for our immediate future and years to come, and we are having another Merriman/Ware debate?
Face it guys. We didn't draft Merriman. He will never play for this team. We have a quality player in his stead and there are more important things to discuss...
No, it doesn't. Some of us realize that Ware is better against the run, in coverage and just as dangerous against the pass, but is in a different system and assignment, plus he isn't cheating via steroids.lyrclcipha12;1125337 said:yes but everytime merriman succeeds it burns a little bit that we did not draft him. and when fans get irritated they vent on message boards. hence, all the threads.
lyrclcipha12;1125328 said:yes but, ware has faced the texans and titans...how many sacks did he have in those games? i hate the argument that just cause a player did something well versus a bad team it doesnt count because the opponent sucked. merriman is doing exactly what a good pass rusher is supposed to do versus a bad line. what would impress you? a five sack game?
but the thread about him testing positive stayed in this forum foreversummerisfunner;1125263 said:no, it will be removed to the NFL zone where it should be

The sad thing is all fans across thousands of message boards do these "If only we had drafted..." threads. I don't understand why they think if their team drafted this guy instead of another, he would be just as good on their team.Future 585;1125362 said:you know there must be 300 players in the league that we did not draft that are playing well. lets start a thread for every one of them

I played college football. I saw guys who were weaker and slower than me make huge strides forward and in some cases pass me.lyrclcipha12;1125378 said:yes the roids might have something to do with it. but i refuse to believe roids make you much better. in baseball maybe because home runs hitters just hit the ball as far and hard as possible. but merriman is so quick to the ball in his decisions...i dont know why im defending merriman, i hate the guy, but i still think hes better than ware despite the roids. roids arent the only reason the guy is a beast otherwise give me some and a contract.
Everyone is down on Ware because he isn't a tattoo covered second-year roid monkey making bold proclamations about being the best linebacker in NFL history. All Merriman has done is show a few flashes against mediocre competition.
So now after one good game every Joe Fan in the sports world thinks Merriman is the next Lawrence Taylor. The fact of the matter is Merriman had many more opportunities that he couldn't capitalize on in Week 1 against the worst team in football. Despite being part of a defense that collectively made a mockery out of the Crypt Keeper's Raiduhs and their 1990's Offense by recording 9 total sacks, he only managed 3. In case you forgot, Ware has done the same thing, against a real team, all while being coached by a man whom many people on this board deem a failure of a Defensive Coordinator in Mike Zimmer.
