Vince feels "Pretty real good" about how his knee is healing.

Well, considering last time he got injured...

 

I feel pretty real good about his chances of starting this week. But I wouldn't be disappointed if he didn't.

 

Jesus, this guy went back to school to learn how to say "pretty real good"?

I really wish people would give it a rest about his grammar/speech. Heck, he's downright eloquent compared to CJ. Besides, I have a feeling "pretty real good" was just an accidental mixing of thoughts. Happens to most human beings from time to time.

And I highly doubt he could care less whether or not he plays. I'm sure he'd love to play. He probably just means that he wouldn't be disappointed because it is what it is and he knows he's gonna be back out there as soon as he can. So there's no use being down about it. In the past it's all "Vince gets too down on himself" "he's negative", etc. Now we're criticizing him for not being devastated if he can't play Sunday? Jesus. The lengths some people will go to in order to talk junk about Vince. If you wanna hate, there are plenty of legitimate complaints to make. But not this BS.

 

Well, when he misses a great deal of mini camp 2 years ago to go to school, only to lose his starting position, there's a problem. Especially when he says "pretty real good". Sorry. It's a fact.

 

It was a redundant statement.

We all make them. Nothing wrong with it.

 

Very true. But like you said... 2 years ago. What real relevance does that have to who he is today? You'd have to be flat out ignorant or a bona fide hater to not realize he's a different guy now than he was back then. Maybe he's still not where you want him to be (he's definitely not where I want him to be) but how long are we going to keep bringing up stuff that happened 2+ years ago?

I'm about the same age as VY and when I think about myself in my early 20's I am extremely embarrassed and disappointed with certain aspects of who I was at the time. People change. People mature. Particularly in their 20's. You never made bad/wrong decisions in your early 20's? I certainly did and shudder when I think about the ones I would've made if I was also a multi-millionaire superstar at the time.

He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. No doubt. But making a big deal about a grammatically incorrect statement and things that happened years ago only makes yourself look foolish.

 

I don't think I look foolish at all for calling him out for sounding like a moron. I think he's more mature but obviously has trouble with grammar. I'm a "grammar nazi". I apologize but it is a huge pet peeve of mine. Deal with it.

There are millions of people that wish they could get a college education.
