I think your backups suck, you think they don't. Noting I type is going to prove that they actually suck because you've already made up your mind on the subject.
Welcome to Cowboyszone. I appreciate the entertainment at a time of year when not much is going on.
Now, about our sucky backups.
Your contention that we don't think our backup QBs suck is very incorrect. There are several schools of thought on this board. Some people are chomping at the bit for these kids to get into the game. Some are already convince that neither of them are worth their salt. Some people are sold or one but not the other. And then there are some folks, like me, that haven't seen enough of them or simply don't consider themselves good enough talent evaluators to make a decision. Unlike other boards, there's a wide range of opinions on this board and they are all encouraged to debate their point of view.
But there is at least one common thread among the posters over here.
"If you're going to state your opinion, state it as an opinion. If you're stating something as a fact, then you better back it up with some facts." This is why you're getting such grief. You've stated that our backup QBs suck as if it were a fact. And yet, BP and JJ both think they're still worth keeping around. You've brought no facts to dispute the fact that they are both still employed in positions you dont think they are qualified for.
Bring your opinions over. People here love to debate. I don't post a lot but I read it several times a day. WG is a great example. She can talk some serious football. She knows her facts. She doesn't get mad if you prove her wrong. She tells when it's a fact and when it's an opinion. If you post in the same format she does, you catch some respect, whether you're a Skins fan or not. She's not alone, there's plenty here.
Look illone, it's not that noone here thinks that our backups don't suck. They very well might. I'm in that camp that just doesn't know yet. I have no clue about your backups in Washington. Hopefully, you won't need them. If you do, then you'll have a better idea how they'll perform under fire.
But if you want to have these folks treat you seriously, do some research, back your smack talk up and enjoy yourself.
