Quote:The reason why we're even having this discussion is because I've been critical and don't hold back. I'm attacked for it. I simply said the potential year ending stats would be encouraging. But never changed my opinion. But the idiot that has been following me around hanging on every word I post blew a gasket trying to trap into some type of hypocrisy. But it's invalid. Either way I know how I feel and some people can't deal with it. Not my problem.

 

I think the issue here is that more often than not, some posts on this particular topic (you aren't alone either) are made with the underlying intention/illusion of making what Blake is leaving on the field week in and week out trivial or not worthy of acknowledgement. Calling his performance mediocre is disingenuous at best, egregious at worst. Is he an All-Pro...nowhere near but dude is playing well, especially considering the circumstances. We just suck otherwise. That may not be your intention. That may not be what you mean to convey but that's what's being perceived here and that's why you're being attacked.

 

In the end, it doesn't really matter. We're allowed to disagree on things. If we all agreed on everything, this place (and life in general) would be terribly, terribly boring.
