What a load of homeristic bullshit; gosh do you really believe this ?

For years we glorified the guy for playing though pain; celebrated the Giants TD when he comes running off the bench. Celebrate his often success when he was far below 100%. When he lost those games we didn't hammer him to death for not realizing he was "hurting the team" by playing with pain. Like an athlete has that ability. That's a coaches call.

Now we ream him for playing with pain and expect him to magically realize it's apparent he's hurting the team. Gimme a frickin break.

FAHU

Frickin Absolutely homeristically Unbelievable

We glorified him for playing through injury all those years because he did it damned effectively. Last year not so much. All those years, the injury didn't affect the team record. Last year it did. His injury directly affected the Jets record and once that happened, he should have sat, and had he sucked with a broken thumb in GB and lost games with it, then we'd have been calling for him to sit.

such a load of crap, but that's what it's come to.

How do we know how it effected our record ? We had a lot of quality backups through the years, and Favre undoubtedly had his eggs due to injury.

HOW MANY pro QB's would sit themself because they don't think they can perform and it's better for the team if they sat ?

And if they did do that and the backup sucked wind they'd get fleeced

Unreal; frickin unreal
