Pete Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 "You miss pizza and wings more then your friends and family?" My tongue was firmly in cheek. "And equating football to heart surgery is asinine" I was not equating the two, I was however equating your ability to perform heart surgery and your ability to evaluate football. your a fan. Thanks for driving home my point about negativity. 99% of this board went crazy when we selected Whitner over Ngata. Same when we drafted Erik Flowers. Same when we drafted McCargo....

Ramblin' Rob Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 ....ever. Exactly my point....had we drafted Ngata 99% of the board would have hated it. I am not saying the track record is good, but this is a new regime, and they are clearly doing taking a different approach than the regimes of the past decade. They all know more about this than we do, Give them a chance to fail before declaring them failures. And by the way, comparing us to the Nets is truly asinine. We are maybe in the bottom ten percent of pro sports franchises, but we are better than the Raiders, Royals, Nationals, Nets, and the like. Seriously I like your 'travel" quote and want to like you based on it, but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 ....ever. board knows more then front office exhibit 1 exhibit 2 and this is great reading- proof positive that most of TBD knows more then the ass clowns that have been running this team here is the official 2006 draft thread when we drafted Whitner I don't make sh__ up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Exactly my point....had we drafted Ngata 99% of the board would have hated it. You weren't here that day, were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Exactly my point....had we drafted Ngata 99% of the board would have hated it. And 99% would have been wrong. That's why we have a FO that's supposed to know more than us doinks. All we can do is trust Buddy to turn this thing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALK ABOUT MAKING SH_T UP. put the shovel down, you are burying yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lori, I just went through the link you posted for Pete, and it has some love for Ngata, but more for d'brick and bunkley. again, Donte was a reach and at the time there were a lot guys left on the board that I wanted more. Again though, this is a different regime. Weather we like it or not, reality is it's a clean slate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 99% outrage when we drafted Whitner Based on what I saw in the Jim Kelly Club that day, that might have been pretty close, once the stunned silence wore off. When the closed-circuit TVs showed Marv making the announcement, quite a few people booed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
