Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on Today at 02:26:56 PMYou know there's a quote function, right?
If you're not using it, I think it's rightly assumed you are addressing the Jones "haters".
As such, if you're addressing a wider group and using things like "would you be happy if he wasn't X, Y and Z". It appears you are rating everyone with the same brush as the silly BluesCruz comment - which the vast majority of the Jones critics refrain from.
Just food for thought; I'm not attacking you man and I enjoy your diametrically opposed views to mine and furthermore, I respect them.
Yeah, I know there's a quote function but it's impractical to quote several people. If I make a general comment and someone decides it applies to them and gets defensive then that's on them, not me.
And for the record, I don't think there are Jones "haters" I think there are Jones detractors. It's not the same thing. I think detractors tend to minimize and hand wave away the tremendous barriers to success he has faced here by calling them excuses. I've never even taken a strong pro-Jones position. I am agnostic on the issue of whether he can be the guy, long term. But I am cognizant that time passing is not evidence that he can't be the guy when in none of that passage of time has he had a chance to to have the support of a functional OL and WR corp and, until recently, decent coaching.
And just to take it off DJ for a moment, I see something similar with the Neal detractors. Between injuries, having to change sides, and terrible coaching there have been some serious barriers to his success. But some people are unwilling to recognize this and simply express the frustration of impatience. At least in my opinion.
But we're all Giants fans here and we all, including (especially?) me, can cut each other a little more slack.
