Well let me ask you. Does it say "Duke" on it?
Mine says “Dupe” on it. Last time I buy a football at 7-11.

... there should be an asterisk beside your username so the people who have seen the chaos from a field level view can interrupt your opinions from a bird’s eye view. That’s all. I was a two way player through HS, slot receiver and safety. And I would discourage anyone from expectation that there is something to be learned from my posts.

I never played organized football so I cant speak from that perspective. However I have played baseball and now fast pitch softball for over 45 years. I can tell you just because you played a sport doesnt necessarily mean you know wtf you are talking about. I've met plenty of dipshits along the way.

Yes...we played organized football in the afternoon, invented blues music in the evening...celebrated all night eating waffles...did tell him his metabolism would eventually slow up and to watch the whipped cream toppings...I'm not to blame for the fat Elvis. Elvis...knows more about football then Gunner Interesting tidbit......or not. He was my grandmother's younger cousin. She was from Tupelo and her maiden name was Presley. She used to babysit him.

So, you think you're better than me?
Ok....
How many of you posers have played football with a pro football player?
Of which, how many played with a Giant?
And of those, how many played with a HOF'er?
I win.

There should be an asterisk next to the names of arrogant douche bags who think they are better than everyone else because they played Pop Warner football.
i would’ve gotten a strike for that exact comment btw

So this means we should make Al Bundy a mod? In the old Giants board Al Bundy WAS a mod going by the name RoanokeFan.

I have played organized football. Acting like everyone who has played is some beacon of knowledge is comical. And some people have never played and know an immense amount. Fake News. I dont think the OP is saying that at all. I think what the OP is saying is if you haven't walked in a players shoes, then you really have no business critisizing that player. There is a difference in actually playing a position in organized football and getting your ass handed to you and knowing how that feels then someone that has no idea about playing the game and just talking shit like they do know. There is no better insight than actual experience and that is what I think the OP is stressing. But than again i could be totally off base so who knows I beg to differ. I pay good money to go and see a football game and I have every right to criticize if I am not happy with the performance. Just as we have the right to criticize a movie. We do not have to be actors to know when acting sucks. Same goes for football. When I see someone drop almost every pass thrown at him or when the QB ignores a wide ope WR and throws into the double coverage for an INT, I do not need to have been in the "chaos of the sideline" or "walk in the players shoes" to criticize them because they suck. Having said that, since I have played professional sports in Europe, I normally do not criticize a player for making a mistake because "shit happens". However, if the same mistakes keep happening then I do not criticize the player but the people who made the decision for that player to be on the field.

i would’ve gotten a strike for that exact comment btw He's just prejudiced against us guys who have played the game .... fails to realize a QB that runs the ball due to poor pocket awareness vs play design while managing to get first downs, is still a failed play...and a failed QB....not the "only guy making plays" Some might even blame poor receiver separation, blocking or play design without looking at the tape, and missing that he was either gun shy throwing the ball, missing an open receiver at a certain development during a play, slow progressions due to locking onto a receiver... and all assortments of QB failure ...versus a non football player fan who would get excited for a QB running for first downs that came from these poor reads. Colin Kaepernick was infamous for those type plays, and why so many fools jumped on the bandwagon assuming he could still play....can't let emotion feed the brain before you look at the tape and understand they are missing reads on defense and processing slowly... and then running as if it's a pop Warner football game vs the NFL...the NFL, where reading the defense and processing the play with the brain is more important then Pop Warner athleticism

The OP has himself demonstrated numerous times on this MB that alleged prior football experience does not necessarily translate into smart football ideas/evaluations. Perfectly said.. If you need to feel better about yourself with making a claim like this OP then I actually feel sorry for him..
