Singleton stays for this year. Simply not enough quality in our LB corps to push him out at this point.

 

[LeonDixson]

Nors simply advocated a switch to the 3-4 knowing full well Parcells ran that defense 15 out of 18 seasons as HC. I wouldn't call that going out on a limb by any means. With that said, most people who debated Nors last year about this simply said we didn't have personnel to run the 3-4 at that time. I think with the free agent additions and the heavily defensive draft, that isn't as much of an issue anymore.

Regardless of his reasons, Nors said we would run a base 3/4 this year and others were saying we would NOT, based on whatever reasons they had. Nors was right. The others were wrong and won't admit it. He may turn out to be right about Romo being the # 2 QB, although that still remains to be seen. I can't remember the names involved but one poster accepted a stupid bet from another poster that he would leave the forum if Romo was #2 during any time of the regular season. He will probably waffle too. I've often thought that there are certain posters that act like trolls and wait for Nors to post so they can try to ridicule him.

Having said all that in his defense, he is now showing his true colors as a pathetic wuss that won't accept a "just for fun" bet on something he has been claiming would happen. He either doesn't have enough courage to stand up for his convictions or he didn't really have a conviction in the first place. Maybe he was just throwing crap against the wall and hoping it would stick so he could say he was right. Either way, his refusal to take the bet casts a huge shadow on other things he has been right about. Did he make statements because he had a reasoned, heartfelt conviction? Or was he just throwing stinky crap against the wall.

Leon I'm going to disagree with you.

Nors said in 2003 we would run a 3-4 scheme. Most people did not agree with him because we did not have the right personnel for it.

Nors said in 2004 we would run a 3-4 scheme. Again, most people did not agree with him because we still did not have the right personnel for it.

95% of the fans recognized that 2005 was going to be different. The reason, because we went out and acquired the right personnel. Ever since we acquired Jason Ferguson those who were RIGHT in 2003 and 2004 have been told over and over and over how wrong we were because here comes the 3-4.

Leon, how is this wrong?

Let's say I tell you this year that we are going to draft a WR at #1. In the 2006 Draft we go DT. In the 2007 Draft we go OT. In 2008 we finally draft a WR in the 1st. Does that mean I was right all this time in your book?

Sorry but I don't follow the logic there.

On this part you are starting to get it. How many hundreds of posts has he made saying Singleton was worthless? I can't even begin to tell you. The guy is such a spin doctor it isn't funny.

For instance he spent all off season telling people how Shanle outplayed Singleton last year and took his starting spot. If you point out that Singleton was injured he ignores it and tells you Shanle played better and took the job.

Last night he basically got called out and he did a turtle. He even tried to spin a side bet with me, completely unrelated to anythign he has claimed for months and forcing me to agree to a side in the bet I've never once preached. According to him another forum is "recruiting" him and this forum may die off when he leaves because that happened before when he left another forum.

I personally don't think he will leave, he'll just wait for this to blow over and he'll quit playing turtle.

In the off season Singleton will be released and he's going to spout like a whale about how right he was and how we all should have listened to him.

I might as well start predicting Bledsoe's release right now, so that in 2 years I can tell everyone "I told you so."

That isn't about being right, that's about being annoying.

I don't think that 95% of the posters here did agree that 2005 was going to be different until after the draft and FA. Then it dawned on them that Nors was right and they started to claim that he said we would be in the 3/4 exclusively and not change up into the 4/3 at all. You've seen those posts, Hos. And I'm not pointing fingers at you or any other individual. However, you make an excellent point that if he was predicting it EACH YEAR since Parcells arrived, well then it's just a case of the blind squirrel finding the acorn occasionally. I'm almost as old as CBZ so I don't remember the posts from 2 years ago. :laugh2:

I agree wholeheartedly on this part. He has shown his true colors. But in retrospect, I shouldn't have taken a personal shot at him. If a temporary ban is in my future, I'll take it like a man.

Yeah right.

 

[blindzebra]

Yeah right.

*In my best twang*

Don't let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

Thus ends our you might be a redneck portion of today's forum.

I didn't see it as a personal shot and there will be no suspension from me anyway. I don't do that here any more.

You have to wonder about a guy's motives when he says he stirs the drinks here and complains about people disagreeing with him at the same time.

When I got back from the game I stirred the drink but I took my "punishment" for stating an unpopular opinion. That's how this game is played. If you say something silly people here are very smart. They are going to call you on it. The harder you try to spin from that point on the more face you lose.

This thread is a perfect example. It was started as a friendly wager with no serious consequences to anyone. Look how he reacts. It's nothing new either.

Wow, we have 108 people voting that Singleton stays. I don't think it would happen, but it would be funny if 108 people all had to have the same avatar for 2 weeks, myself included. :laugh2:

I'll wear mine with pride! I've been wrong once or twice before so a 3rd time won't bother me.

Nors,

Please don't leave the forum. I think I speak for everyone when I say YOU are this forum. Without your insights and spot on predictions, what will be the point of coming here? Indeed, your departure would make this board a ghost town, and I beg you to reconsider this drastic and precarious decision.

Sincerely yours,

Sincerely yours,

I think you are easily selling this forum short. Looking at your join date you haven't been around that long, so you have not seen how well this forum can truly thrive, with or without forum. It truly is the best place on the net for Cowboys fellowship, and Nors leaving would not even leave a scratch. You are definately selling the people on this forum short.

Btw, the world still doesn't revolve around Nors.

 

[dillinger319]

im almost certain that he stays...

and by the way .."nors you are this forum" lol...While I like nors comments and his weird 3-4 assesments he is not this forum..He is part of it there are many other people that make this forum what it is not just Nors and I'm almost certain he would agree....

Oh, I will vote that Al stays when Nors votes that Al goes.
