He's No Underdog. Amendola Has Strong Shot At Roster Spot

[cowboys2233]

Only I don't understand why a Cowboy fan would openly dismiss a player trying to make his team just because he's an UDFA, or he's bringing up the comparison problem. While it is annoying, it shouldn't reflect directly on the player. By all counts, Amendola is saying, and doing, all of the right things.

Agreed -- if we had a problem with that, we would be lacking a certain star QB right now.

If a guy can play, a guy can play. It is possible to slip through the cracks, ask Kurt Warner. I hope and believe Amendola makes the team, not because of the feel-good aspect of it, but because it sounds like he'll make us a better, deeper team.

Chocolate Lab admitted I was right.............I love the dots too! Wheeee!

Um, no I didn't. I don't think you're right at all.

As players, JB and DA don't have anything in common, other than being white.

Unless you're going to claim that every late pick and undrafted guy is similar, and that's incredibly weak. Maybe DA and Erik Walden are just alike, too.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Both have unusual last names?

Both are white

You didn't?

Yes, that is what I'm suggesting.

You said I was right when I inferred that you were suggesting that the only comparison between the two was that they are white. Since that is the part of my post that he referenced, I can only assume that's what he thought I was wrong about, my inference. Guess it's hard to know *** he was suggesting with his well-thought out and detailed "wrong....." answer. :LOL

Hey Velvet, weren't you one of the smart guys who thought that there was no way the Packers would trade Favre to Minnesota? Are you still taking that stance?

I don't feel like searching so go ahead and search if you want. I personally don't care where Favre goes or who he plays for.

You don't know what your own opinion was? Okay...

If that happens, the Packers front office are morons.

For the 15,000th time, it's a hell of lot better than paying the man to sit on the bench making $12 million and breathing down Rodgers' neck.

The Pack have said time and time again that they've moved on, now's their time to prove it. If they are so worried about him going to Minnesota, they have NOT moved on.

Personally, I think they should let him go. If Rodgers is the bad *** they think he is, what are they so worried about? Speaking of which, I am reversing my stance on Rodgers, when I said he speaks in cliche-filled sentences and suggested because of that, it showed the situation was too big for him and he wouldn't amount to much as a QB.

In hearing him talk, he actually sounds like he's got a really good head on his shoulders, MUCH more than Rex Grossman does (which is who I had compared him to) and he might turn out to be really good. He might have a lot more of "it" than I had originally thought.

I couldn't pull this kid out of a lineup of 2 and I'm already sick of him.

For the 15,000th time, the Packers can trade him to an AFC team like the JETS so that they don't help one of their competitors within the division or conference.:

Good lord, you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you? The Packers cannot trade him to a team like the JETS if Favre doesn't want to go to the JETS....for the 15,001st time. :shoot4:

I'm sure the coaches will take that into account.

Did Favre say it wouldn't? Maybe your not the sharpest knife in the drawer bud.
