Griff28 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I was hopeful too...but why is everyone on this guy's bandwagon? He has been buried as the 3rd team right guard all of training camp but I continue to see how opponents "bounce of off him" and what an addition he will be. Not going to happen.

He will make this team, i thought i told you on the other thread as well. HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff28 Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Not negativity it's reality. Why has he not moved from the 3rd team? Why has he not played prior to the 4th quarter of 3 pre-season games? You're silly opinion has no basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New England Patriots have become a dynasty because of guys like Aaron Gibson. Guys who were cut from other teams and labeled as being nobodies. These are the guys with something to prove, and they are the guys who have a real fire that burns inside them and have the desire to show everybody up. According to the NFL standard now; a team with 22 starting Aaron Gibson's would be the best team in the league right now.  How's that? Or should i go on?

Typical TBD Guy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I was hopeful too...but why is everyone on this guy's bandwagon? He has been buried as the 3rd team right guard all of training camp but I continue to see how opponents "bounce of off him" and what an addition he will be. Not going to happen. 752851[/snapback]  Not saying you're wrong, but remember that it's sometimes hard to judge what coaches think of players in the preseason based on their playing time.  Gibson might not be playing much because the coaches have more or less come to a conclusion about what he offers, and are just trying to play the younger unknown guys to see what the younglings have got.

BoondckCL Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 So he's so good that he doesn't play? 752860[/snapback] Â No you simp. He will stay on this team because Marv is trying to copy the success of the Patriots. He is a project. Projects are probably the only thing Marv likes more than early bird specials and prune juice.

Â I have made valid points about NFL teams copying success, Marv's love for projects, and then you responded by using his age against him, and i responded with a Rich Gannon remark. How about i throw another name at you, Kurt Warner. He was old too and labeled a nothing, i think he did pretty damn well for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoondckCL Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Let me ask you a question Griff. Â Have you been to training camp this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff28 Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 OK. We are talking about a guy who was drafted in the first round as a tackle, had very limited "success" early on, bounced to multiple teams, was out of football last year, and is on the 3rd team this year as a guard... and you are comparing him to two quarterbacks. Name for me an offensive lineman with a similar history to Gibson who has made it. Mike Williams perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff28 Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yes. 3 times. And Gibson is still working with the third unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
