CrackerDog Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not panicking. I'm having a very worth while discussion. Which obviously u can't handle that Dude, your opening post in this thread was clearly taking a shot at others for your perception that they were giving you a hard time about the lack of competition. And fine, if you want to take shots at people, I'm a big boy, go for it. But don't expect not to get it back. The fact is all I did was clarify my position which you misrepresented. Further, I still don't see the fact that Webb is getting all the work on the opening weekend at the position he filled last year as evidence supporting your claim that there isn't currently a competition. There may or may not be. Lastly, I find it impossible to believe, IMPOSSIBLE, that two straight coaching staffs would just give him the spot despite there being better players just sitting around on the sidelines. If there honestly isn't, it's because the talent pool isn't deep enough. It's easy to sit on the internet and say "Give that other guy a chance." because there aren't any consequences for you. But as a coach, if you look at the pieces you have to work with and it's damned obvious to you who the best 5 are, and you have to have one of them, who kinda sucks, ready for opening day... You can't waste time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't waste time. My post wasn't taking shots at anyone at all. Sorry u take offense to every word I say. All I did was point out what brad Biggs had tweeted. I then asked him directly if there was anybody else even begin looked at or if it was just him. In his reply to me directly he said no only Briggs. Whether Biggs is a complete moronic liar I don't know. I would assume he's got more knowledge of the situation than any of us. Again that's my assumption no shot at u or anyone else. I admit I have a hard time believing that 2 coaching staffs would just give it to him but is it at all possible? Yes it is. Also if a HC puts in a backup to work with the 1s during camp does it mean that coach would get canned? Of course not. I won't act like a HC but do I have the right as a fan to question a move? Of course I do. Once again. No shot at u or anyone else. If I was taking a shot I would have said a persons name like I've done in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just to be clear, I'm right there with you that everyone needs to compete for their job at all times. My only point is there are different ways of doing it. Ditka grabbed a guy by his jersey, threw him on the ground and told him he sucked and he just lost his job to the #2 guy on the depth chart. That was his way of "announcing" a competition. Modern coaches tend to be a little more discrete about it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I'm surprised Webb didn't file abuse charges on cutler last yr the way society is now days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
