[quote=SirClintonPortis;683376]No more 8-in-the-box for Adrian Peterson.

Just for the record, you assuming that, to paraphrase, I thought Campbell was the ONLY QB that couldn't do it is what ticked me off. I was all smiles until you asserted that reckless assumption, and it seems that it deserves multiple mentions because you seem to have promptly forgot about it. If you like to tread closely to ad hominem land, be my guest, just don't go pat yourself on the back for being awesomely rational when you aren't so invulnerable.
You deserve no points for your faux "logicalness" and trying to assert a logically valid, but unsound-- I'm assuming you know what soundness and validity are, as you should if you're going to assert that you were logical in the first place--, syllogism regarding sacks and the slowness of QB feet, which only goes to further show your inflated opinion of yourself. I'm know about the material conditional, and there is at least one example of a mobile QB getting frequently sacked.[/quote]Your right, Peterson was a monster this year w/Favre.

You asserted that Gradkowski was greater than Campbell with the evidence of him moving around in the pocket kind of well for a half. Do you not understand how many days you set back rational discussion by doing this? You didn't even back down from this when pointed out, which changes the dynamic that I have to address.

Basically, the anyone but Campbell comment was a tongue in cheek generalization which shouldn't have ticked you off, if only because you were trying to go as far as you could to show that people like Alex Smith and Bruce Gradkowski have more value. That raised red flags about your assessment right away, but it's your persistent assumption that logic and reasoning is in your corner that forces me to conclude that my position is superior. If you have an unpopular opinion based on niche evidence, just state your case and move on. I do this all the time.

If you want to continue to pick at the most myopic parts of some of the 200+ posts I've made in the last day or so, regardless of the context it was intended in, knock yourself out. I'll defend my opinions, but I will not bother to defend a choice of wording from one of my posts from last night, that doesn't have a lot of meaning in the long term.

You can't change a my position vs. your position debate to a me vs. you debate because I don't give two craps about you as a person. It's nothing personal, but I've been on the WP a long time, and with the exception of a select few 15-20 group that makes this place fun to keep coming back to, I simply draw a line between your argument, which I am clearly passionate about, and you, who couldn't mean less to me.

[quote=Mattyk;683413]Huh?

The first poll was up on Saturday. The new one went up this morning.

Thought it would be an interesting compare/contrast.[/quote]

Yeah perhaps you are correct. I noticed one was put up at around 4pm the other at 8 pm I didn''t look at the days.

Still it's funny how 69% said no they didn't want him but now that we have him 72% say it was an awsome trade or they like it? I just don't get it. Redskins fans through and through.

Hey Gtripp and SirClinton?

Are you two going to be done playing swords anytime soon?

I'm guessing people were against it initially because they simply didn't think it would actually happen, and it's a hated division rival. Now that it's a reality people have changed their tune. I actually expected the poll would reverse like that.

Drove that Gradkowski bandwagon right off a cliff eh Tripp? ;)

Good read on how this went down

Re: McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)
 

[quote=SBXVII;683409]What I don't understand is why did we have a poll in the "McNabb to Washington" thread with over 60% of the people saying "NO" and then all of a sudden instead of using the same poll we had to make a new poll in the "McNabb a Redskin (I)" thread?

I know some might try to twist the poll by saying one was prior to McNabb coming and the other was after we learned he was already here, but I'd argue I thought the first poll went up after McNabb was already named last night. Why didn't we just change the title and keep the same votes vs. starting a whole new poll with all the yes people?[/quote]
I think that a lot of people would've said no because of other options in the first poll, not because they thought that McNabb was trash.

Now that he's here you'll see support because he's a good player and we just have to move on from not picking up McCoy, Tebow, etc most likely

I was thinking that too.


I voted NO in the first and could not vote in the 2nd poll...there was no "I don't know what to think about it" option.

I was more against it in the beginning because I thought that the trade would be much more expensive, given that we are a division rival.

It means they don't take us seriously. Nor do they feel that McNabb is a threat to them.

Re: McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)
 

My text to my future son-in-law last night, much to my dismay a diehard Iggles fan, who in the past has only spoken of McNabb in terms usually reserved for Saints.

Text: "McNabb is now a Redskin."

Reply this morning: "Yeah I heard that on the radio this am..lol..well he is getting kinda old and washed up..I guess he will fit right in."

I'm not buying that.

I think they understand the risk they are taking, but Reid wouldn't trade him somewhere he didn't want to go.
