IMHO - The real reason we are upset at cutting Petitti

[marsbennett]

Speak for yourself pal. Cutting Petitti bothers me a lot because I do believe he has talent and will be an outstanding OT someday, only now it will be for some other team.

I have been a Rob Petitti fan since the day we drafted him and it had nothing to do with his dad posting on this forum (which didn't start for quite some time afterwards).

The first time I saw Petitti's highlight clips I knew this kid could be a very good OT. He had excellent balance, footwork, and leverage as well as a mean streak. I saw some of that same thing last season and believe it was a mistake to let him go in favor of Fabini.

It also bothers me that we cut Junior Glymph.

This whole topic is an embarassment. Which Cowboy highlight gave you the feeling he would be great? This whole crying over this cut is the nuttiest and most childish behavior I've witnessed. Petitti's performance as starting tackle is the absolute worst in recent memory....hell, I can't think of anyone and I'm a Cowboy's fan since 1974. And mean streak? You kidding me? How's this highlight film of a mean/nasty/well balanced/footworking/leverage machine?

In case you don't recall, this is where Fabini's superior was pleading for ****ing help.


I can't believe some of the crap I'm reading. Get over it.

Did you wake up today thinking."How can I be an a****** today? Rob did everything the organization asked of him. He started 16 games for us last year, played through injuries, etc. No one said he was starter calibur last year, but he gave his best. He didn't get much help during the second half of the season because Tucker needed everyone to help him get out of the way of DE's. All this to cover for Parcell's great choice in Rogers. Maybe, given time, he could have had the luxury of time to develop like McQ.

Rob worked hard and showed dedication. I would rather have have one of him then 10 Fabini's. Character is a rare commodity in professional sports these days. Rob has character. He may not be an all pro, but he will play somewhere. Parcell's scrrewed the pooch on this move!

Don't for a second believe that PittDawg had any influence on my take on Rob. Go spew your hatred somewhere else.

You are the empitome of football genius.

for me it's more about the respect he earned last year. he was not a nfl ot but got threw into the fire and fought hard. he did'nt have forst round talent or anything but he did his best to compete and i respect that. has nothing to do with his dad as i've never conversed with him.but i will say mcq shows much more potential to me

I have to disagree. Because you aren't here on a daily basis, you don't see it. But based on quite a few threads and posts, I have to disagree that he's gotten a pass on this board. And I'm sure if I wanted to, I could dig for all the threads and posts lamabasting Petitti.

Some may feel that the mods may be overly zealous in their attempts to maintain a level of respect for someone whom we considered an "insider." But I'm sure you understand that being an admin on a board who has it's own "insider." Because based on my few observations of that board, when criticism is reaped upon that "insider," I see some of the staff come out of the woodwork. So it's really not just a Zone thing.

Isn't that the truth? Posters here apparently aren't allowed to dislike him or where his inside info is posted.

We get accused of having a quick trigger, yet other boards ban people for a lot less. Post a dig here, get banned there.

In 8 years in the league Fabini has never allowed double digit sacks. He also has never committed double digit penalties in a season.

Petitti did BOTH in the same year.

Watch it! You'll be confusing the masses with facts and reality, in fact, forcing people to use their heads instead of their 'I think I know an inside guy's daddy' infantile man-love mentality.

Frankly, I've never seen any reaction so uninformed in my entire life. Next, some maroon will call for BP to resign over the Petitti decision.
