Quote: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.

The problem, too, is that ThunderBuns, Janantus, and freinds will write Blaine Bortles off completely and post a 10 page thread belly-aching how he is worthless and it was a worthless pick AFTER ONE INTERCEPTION. On the flip side, Blake can string together a few games of looking really good and showing steady improvement and the same group of numbskulls will call it mediocre and claim it's too soon to tell anything.
