Amendola: All Hype, No Substance.

[theogt]

Wes Welker had 5 fumbles his rookie season as a punt returner, one of which came during a return in the preseason.

He only caught 2 passes that preseason. No catches during the regular season.

Why must all of your annoying posts concerning DA involve "the great WHITE hype"...I mean seriously, I can point out 6 different threads where you've had to use that phrase in. In multiple posts in the same thread even! Get over it! No need to be racial about the guy, my gawd! Your posts are as more annoying as Nors' about Ricky Santos and Orlovsky, and that is saying a lot! :bang2:

You have to understand that the Cowboys pizzed in 4Life's cereal the day they decided to ignore both his pet cats in the first round.

His goal now is to mock every guy chosen by the Cowboys or signed as a UFA.

It's kinda sad isn't it?

It's all about Welker. People look at Amendola and see Wes, not Jeff Ogden. Which is strange, because not every 6'4, 220lb qb reminds us of Troy.

Or Brandon Stokley. Guess it's just the Texas Tech connection. Watch out for that Ben Olson guy. He's definitely the next Troy.

I told people to chill out about this guy, nothing special really. He's a camp body, he needs to be a gunner on special teams and not a return guy.

No he is not...

He is a stud..

The same people that were swinging on Berry-O's package are at it again. Trying to find the "great white hype"... Sorry about your luck.. He is no Wes. Good thing he hasnt been found in his car with crack.

Kinda sad? It's downright stupid now. Every single one of his posts is about DA. He just has to :stop:

wow where do you get this from ? I never said I didn't like Amendola I don't like the hype / attention he has garnished w.o. really doing anything.... for a player that might not even make the team......

I like Scandrick and Choice the later games are 2 later to even be a factor and Bennett Jones and Jenkins I am not high on till they prove other wise.....2 other cowboys 1st round picks I wasn't high on was Spears and Carp.....they still haven't done anything to make me feel any different on them.

You are a genius.

Well since there were already like 4 other threads degrading Amendola, most people are getting fed up with it, and then there you go having to make another one..

Poor baby.

 

[gbrittain]

Poor baby.

Any particular reason you want to see this guy fail.

He did not generate the hype.

He is just out there trying to make a team.

What is so bad about that?

Did some people get carried away...I am sure of it.

Are the people burying him because of a lost fumble in his first NFL game getting just as carried away...absolutely.

If we want to make decisions based upon last night's game, maybe Pac Man should be shown the door as well.

I will never understand why a so called Cowboy fan wants to see someone fail.

I hated Quincy the player AFTER it became obvious to me that he was not a NFL caliber QB.

You better believe I was cheering for him to turn it around though even after I knew the obvious.

To be rooting against an undrafted rookie FA makes not one bit of sense to me.

Making judgements after a single and I do mean single preseason game, is beyond rediculous, and that goes for a first rounder.

Very well said. I hope ALL of our players are future HOF's in the making. I know it will not happen, but it sure beats rooting for our players to fail and get cut.

Yeah such a stellar beginning should have given notice that he was going to be a success.

He wasnt good in any way shape or form, trying to use someone elses failures as an excuse notwithsttanding.

 

[silverbear]

The next Wes Welker?

This guy won't even make the roster, way to go Danny! Where is Jamaica Rector?

Look at you, rooting against a Cowboys player...

Ah well, this is how we in here figure out who the fair weather fans are...

 

[silverbear]

The great white hype fumbled most have been some mistake I mean he is the great white hype....

And you're morally superior to the FANS who got on his bandwagon, with your blind, idiotic hating on the guy...

I've asked the question several times in the last 24 hours, what kind of so-called "fan" roots AGAINST a Cowboys player, ANY Cowboys player??

 

[Nors]

Can't a person make a talent evaluation here?

Heck 30 "Dallas Cowboys" are going to be cut next few weeks.....No one is rooting against those 30. But it is soon obvious to be who they are!

 

[silverbear]

considering the press and the threads that were sprouting up about this guy i expected him to be all world. but then again he is the great white hype....

You got a problem with him being white??

Every year, fans get attached to some little-known longshot, and root for him... the Armadillo is that player this year, and you act as if it's outrageous behavior...

What's outrageous is you rooting against him... seems you have a problem with white people...

 

[silverbear]

The worst part is that people might hesitate to criticize his play for fear of being lumped in with the "I can't wait to see him fail" crowd.

I like Amendola, but after last night I'm pretty sure the experiment of him as a punt returner is over...

Did he even return punts at Tech??

The silver lining in this is now, it's more likely that the Boys could get him through waivers and onto the practice squad, which is where he probably should be for a year...

that might be the end of the Danny in Dallas expirament too:

he really has to impress as a receiver

 

[silverbear]

I don't think so because most of them, though not all, are draft snobs who cannot abide the idea that somebody they never heard of in checking the mock drafts and who wasn't drafted can be really good..

Nope, that won't work... I think most folks in here would tell you that I'm about the biggest draftaholic around, and I'm on the Armadillo bandwagon, hoping he steps up and makes a case for keeping him around...

I long ago learned that there are players who go undrafted every year who wind up being solid pros... I enjoy the attempt to find such players...

 

[silverbear]

I never have seen people so quick and happy to call an UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT ROOKIE a bust after the first preseason game.

Again, this helps us identify the posters who have little of substance to offer to the dialogue... anybody who goes off about anything after the first preseason game proves that he doesn't know jack about football...
