The present...
Coincidence?
Yeah. Right.
Honestly my dislike is mainly for the general Cowboy fan, and this started during the Quincy years.
Like I've said before, I've never seen a player treated as badly as I'd seen Quincy treated back in the day and to this very day.
Fans hated this guy and this was before they found out about the drugs, and to this day, they can't leave this guy alone. I used to hear all the time from other fans of teams, they would say that we are the most fake fans in the NFL and that ticked me off.
But after being on the Zone since 2004, finally joining and posting since 2005, all I've seen over the years is how horrible the interior of our fan base is.
Fans like to discuss everything except the bottom line. You want my honest opinion about TO, I don't care for him personally. I wouldn't hang out with the guy, I wouldn't go to lunch with him, he's not my type of guy.
But on the field, I want that guy on my side because he BRINGS IT ON THE FIELD. Fans didn't care about a player helping us, they cared about what TO was saying. Honestly, WHO GIVES A FLIP?
The fans wanted someone to blame, and without even trying to be subjective about the situation, they instantly turned on the guy as soon as the media said he said something about Witten and Romo. ESPN knew what would happen if they did this and it worked. It's like a woman yelling rape cause she knows the cops will automatically believe her.
My beef wasn't with TO being cut, my beef was with how the fans turned on someone who did nothing wrong, his crimes were occasionally *****ing about play calling, who stinking cares? Everyone on this board complains about something, but if TO does it, he's satan.
Meanwhile, for years all I did was make excuses for players who didn't execute on the field, and I'm sick of doing that. Since you like pulling up the past, how about you pull up the past where I was one of the first one's to say Romo would be a great QB?
I loved Romo even though he had horrible play on the field and I'm sick of doing that with players. If a player does it consistently and without a fan making excuses for him, I will support that player. But if a player has a couple of good games, then sucks for 2 and so on, I will torch that player.
Unlike most of the fans of this board and around the Cowboy land, I don't judge players on what they say, what they do off the field "unless it's illegal", who they date, if they are gay or straight, religious or not, black or white, slow or fast, ugly or cute "definitely". I judge them by what they do on the field, you guys should actually try it.
