Which would make you feel worse?

No, that's not why you get neg rep. Plenty of people on this board have defended Vince Young. You lose credibility when you tell people that their negative opinions of Vince Young override their feelings for the team. Also, you seem unable to accept the fact that someone can want/hope for Vince Young to do well, but not expect that to happen.

 

Also, you can say that you don't attack people, but your arguments are effectively broad attacks. You may not call people out personally, but you've implied that most people who don't like Vince Young think so for racial reasons, which is a pretty offensive accusation. You've also implied in this thread that posters here are shallow enough that they would rather see Vince fail and the team lose than see Vince succeed and the team win. That's a remarkably inflammatory argument.

 

no offense, but you're the kind of talker that makes freedom of speech a bad thing.

 

I want my 30 seconds back.

 

I can make it a stretch and say I at least see where you are coming from. There are a lot of Vince Young is a retard, Vince Young has always sucked, negative posts that seem to be regarded as the norm or ok. It annoyed me at first, now I just ignore it, cause I realize it is just people that are doubtful of his abilities and having a fun time with it.


But you were off basis in making this thread, and off basis in making racial accusations.

I mean, I'm a big Vince Young fan, but there are plenty of legit reasons to question his ability. And to another degree his mental state for what happened int he beginning of this season.

I thought your first posts were pretty good Morpheus, so I hope you can look at others posts more objectively, and contribute in a more beneficial way to the forum.




Slightly off-topic... only in the most RARE of circumstances would I put a player above the team I root for.

When the Bears played the Colts in the Superbowl, it was tough for me. The Bears were my team before the Titans, I was pulling for them, but I wasn't upset at all and was happy for Peyton that he finally got a championship. After all, I'm a vols fan and I appreciate what he did at UT as well as what he's done for UT since his pro career began. (of course the Titans are my first love now, so that prolly has something to do with not being upset with the Bears losing)

BUT, I've said this already... if we sign Ray Lewis I'll be selling all my tickets on an individual game basis. It would be hard for me to support the Titans if he were a member, I may just not watch the NFL for a year or however many if that were to happen. I can't say there is another player in the league that would make me feel this way about the Titans. I don't like him, never have, and can't let go of him taking the 2000 divisional game from us.

THANK GOD I don't think there is any realism that we would sign him.

 

I disagree. Good players are good players, the reason we don't like them is because their abilities have beat us in the past. I hate Ray Lewis and Peyton Manning, but if either of them were to become a Titan my opinion would change immediately. I hate them because I hate playing against them, plain and simple

 

I'm sure 99% of people agree with you...

I'm just the 1% that doesn't when it comes to ray.

 

That first paragraph is a pretty good illustration of your inflammatory statements. "the more obvious ones would be upset about it." I resent the implication in that statement. Of course some people are going to take potshots at young, this is a message board. People make statements as jokes that aren't correctly perceived, or are just bad jokes, or they make exagerrated statements to try and get their point accross, or they use the forum as a vent for their frustrations and go too far. That stuff happens, though I'm sure most of us don't really like it. I don't think that many (or possibly any) people on this board are trying to "convince everyone to dislike" Vince Young. I think a lot of people have tried to convince you that it's possible to want something, but feel that it's unlikely, or to just have strong reasons that you believe it won't happen. Do you really think that people can't have any good reasons for not thinking that Vince Young will be our QB of the future? They just have to be haters, or racially biased, or care more about complaining about Vince Young than they do about the team? You can't really think that, can you?

Also, I don't think that you can comment on your own credibility. You may firmly believe in yourself, but given the communal reaction to the majority of your posts, you should realize that your credibility with most around here is shot.
