Quote:I think it's a developed perception of you as a poster, you seem to always be negative and that has created a perception that everything you say is negative. So when you aren't being negative but just trying to make a valid and logical argument, then it's irrelevant because of how you're perceived.


I'm not saying change, you are who you are, seemingly glass half full and pessimistic, but it is what it is.

 

He really didn't say anything overly negative though. To everyone not drunk off koolaid and sprinkles it was a fair assessment. Both QBs struggled at various times throughout the game, and both QBs had their flashes of greatness. I think Faulk, as inarticulate as he was, only meant to express his admiration for the way Mariota played and disappointment that Bortles and co. couldn't break out the way everyone has expected them to against a really beat up secondary. They were at home on primetime against a division opponent with 2 wins and this was supposed to be their opportunity to take charge and assert themselves as legitimate competition for the playoffs. I don't think its out of reason to say that Bortles' and the offenses performance was disappointing, nor is it unreasonable to think that Mariota played well despite basically being out there alone on offense.
