Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 386238, member: 297"] Ugh, I'm not spinning my way out of anything. PeteCalvin said "[COLOR=#000000]You're going back to last year to anchor your point that he still sucks?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Well, no, not at all. Nowhere in my post was it implied that Macky "still sucks." I referenced the previous season to recognize his improvement, and also because I felt a lot of people labeled as "Macky haters" didn't hate on Macky at all, they just pointed out that he really struggled and probably wasn't ready. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Then he encouraged me to give the kid his props, right [I]after[/I] I had posted that he's having a good season and is a solid player right now. Maybe I'm wrong here, but isn't saying that a player is having a good season and solid giving him his props?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Yes, my premise is that Macky has panned-out as a solid player but it's a shame it came at the expense of last season. That's not unreasonable. Very few offensive linemen are ready to perform at a high level as sophomores. It didn't help Macky that he was really undersized, and it shouldn't be surprising that he struggled. That struggle was problematic, because we had two other guys on that line that didn't perform well. Struggles by any player added to the team's difficulties performing last season. Maybe having one less struggle makes a difference. This is all reasonable, right?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Now, I jumped in on this thread because PeteCalvin wrote that all the haters are eating crow this season, and posts about all of the boards alleged "haters" annoy me somewhat. There's no spin here. If I made a mistake, it was getting sucked into this pointless discussion.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Someone said it a few weeks ago. This board is trending the way of modern political discourse. People are really eager to separate posters into camps, and for a lot of folks its more fun to thump chests yelling how right they are than actually talk about things.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
