Quote from: katkavage on Today at 08:04:28 AMWorks both ways, MG. The defenders and the detractors. That is why it has remained a hot topic. Banks can call out the defenders as easily as the detractors. Both are guilty here but he chooses the latter group to call goofy.
That's the thing, Kat, you really can't. When you tally up the posts, there are far more negative posts than positive posts. If you really study the dynamics, much of what could be perceived as positive post about Jones are usually posts responding to criticism. Hell, even my mini-rant was nuanced. I didn't say it was wrong to have a negative view (which stands in stark contrast to the accusations of "making excuses"). I didn't even say that Jones will prove to be a franchise QB (which, again, stands in stark contrast to critics who claim Jones will never be a franchise QB).
The "both sides do it" argument is just a way to defend that which really can't be defended, in my opinion.
