Re: Who's Better?

Holy shit offiss is more off the mark then me trying to piss in the dark while doing jumping jacks. i will make a video if you guys want proof


all kidding aside, portis is pretty damn good, its just
that when you run in max protect, the defence has 9 players in the box and you cant break long runs.

btw, portis had a long run called back for holding and he should've had a running TD but a cornerback tripped up samuels... A CORNERBACK!!!

Identity Theft is something we all need to be careful about. Someone's been using your username Offiss.

"This garbage that all of sudden Brunell is a big time QB again is just that garbage, in almost 2 games he's had exactly 4 minutes of good QB play, in fact you can probably encorperate last season and find that after last years Dallas game he's had exactly 4 minutes of good QB play period."

http://www.thewarpath.net/showpost.p...4&postcount=98

"Anyone who wants to put there faith in Brunells miracle 4 minutes can, good luck if you think that will happen again, the real Brunell showed up for 56 minutes, and couldn't have recieved more luck in the final 4 minutes if he paid off the defense himself."

"I would like to take this time to reapologize to Brunell, YOU STILL STINK!"

Too lazy to look for other examples. I know you haven't been thrilled with Gibbs' playcalling and his use (or lack thereof) of Ramsey, the kid with the 200 IQ. But you have laid the blame on Brunell's feet many times. Basically saying that he's washed-up and could no longer be an effective starter.

But really, it's ok to admit you're wrong. You've been wrong before, for example As have I. I thought Ohalete was going to be a fixture on this team for many years and Bowen would be gone. Guess what. I was wrong. See, it's really not that hard to say. I don't come with "I've always maintained..." or "The problem wasn't Ohalete" or "What had happened was..." No, just "I was wrong"

You've been right before and you've been wrong before. And I will bet that in the future you'll be right some more times and you'll be wrong. It wouldn't hurt to just admit it once in a while

Not a problem, I thought I was wrong once, but later found out that I was right, so I was wrong.

I know Taf that you believe if you throw a link up there you have done something special, but really don't be so lazy next time and dig the rest up as well please don't paraphrase threads to suit your needs, you know full well that these threads go back and forth from one extreme to another, and a lot of what's said is made in conjuncture of what someone else has said, you know darn well we have had topics on both regarding both Ramsey and Brunell and why they haven't succeeded and who's fault it is, so to say Brunell is washed up was an after thought for myself, I was never a big fan of him in his prime, what I find funny is how many here were saying he's washed up after his performance last season, where are they? There disguised as lifelong Brunell fans. Did you jump on any band wagons when Gibbs made the switch Taf?

Most of those posts were right on, the fact that Brunell has finally managed to put us in the end zone twice a game losing 1, is no reason to be backing down.

Gibran Hamden is your big time example? Your really digging deep aren't you, you might want to take a time out and rationalize what you read, perhaps there was nothing going on the warpath at the time considering NFL europe was playing, and I made a funny gesture at the end of the thread laughing trying to get something going in a slow month, but in a court of law you got me.

I am starting to think the prevailing thought is that Brunell has somehow arrived as a QB for us? Need I remind you that we lost to the Broncos, and last week if it wasen't for a missed field goal stemming from a Brunell INT in the final minute against Seattle, we wouldn't be so fast to jump on the bandwagon.

Do I think Brunell has markedly improved over the last 2 games? Absolutly!

I am very encouraged by what I have seen? Yes.

But that doesn't mean Ramsey wouldn't have made the same strides or more.

I am defiently rooting for Brunell to succeed, but I am far from anointing him the man, but we are becoming fun to watch, which has been a rarity over the last few years.


Ohalate-Bowen? Kind of a very small misque for you Taf, don't you think? I know you can do much better than that.





What will they say after we beat Denver? Let's not put the cart before the horse here, I think we will come out of this game with much more media respect win or lose, I feel we will give them a good game and in doing so we will start to gain respect, but I don't see us winning this one, it's not by any means impossible, but it will be a tough one to come away with a W in mile high.


Your more than welcome to critique this pre-game prediction as well. Feel free to let me know if I was right.

I have no problem admitting your right once in a while, like your stance on Lavar and how he can't get on the field because he's highly overated, see how easy it is.

Who's paraphrasing threads to suit their needs? All I did was copy and paste what you wrote. And yes, last season I thought maybe, just maybe, Brunell actually had nothing left in the tank. But then the more I thought about it. I thought all the fault for last season can't be placed on him. And I expressed that in the spring time. Even then though, I thought Ramsey should be the starter with Brunell a capable backup. By mid-preseason though Matty and I went (along with some other warpathers) to get the Brunell Bandwagon rolling because Ramsey wasn't looking so hot, and Brunell was on point. So if anything, Gibbs jumped on my bandwagon! That bastard!

I thought Marty would be our coach for at least three years and get us at least to the NFC championship game. I thought Trung would have Marshall Faulk like numbers here. Better?

Like I said, you've been right before and you'll be right again. And you'll be wrong again.

Re: Who's Better?

brunell could NOT have run it in, he was over 6 yards out an at least 2 faster LBs would have had a very good (unblocked) shot at knocking him out. I must have watched that replay about 10 times now.

and seriously, comparsions between a 4800yrd runner and a sub-700 yard runner after one good game is crazy... I mean, portis was gimped on the first play, couldn't rush to the outside (his strength) and had a 25+ yarder called back an still got 103 rushing and ~ 30 catching while throwing vicious blocks on linebackers.

Portis is a better leader, and blocker than bell for sure, and if he's a system back, how come he got 1300 last year and is on pace 1464 this year? (his "system back" counterpart is on pace for under 1200).

His contract is hefty, but bailey's is even worse, and i'm not sure there were any better offers on the table.

Exactly right Guy! Comparing the two is insane - and follows on the coat tails of what the media is going to say. i.e..... Len Pastabelly! So, I suppose that's good company, huh??! :vomit-smi
