Smith and Rodgers will forever be linked because of the way they were drafted, and the way it fell out. Although I sometimes wonder why Jason Campbell is never mentioned.

I wonder what will happen to Smith from here. A year on the IR - does his arm get back to full strength? If he goes elsewhere and has a chance to sit, will he succeed, or fail again like Carr/Harrington/Akili, etc? I can't think of any examples of highly touted QB's that failed with their initial team, only to do well somewhere else. All the first round flameouts I can think of never had a resurgence.

Tommy Maddox to a lesser extent.

I will agree that Harlan's post shouldn't have been deleted but why isnt he being "policed" by you or Mission for just trying to start shit??? Answer that fucking question.

I was not trying to "start shit" as you say whenever you can't deal with specifics. I made an 8 word sarcastic comment about the stupidity of moving or censoring of threads just because they might be upsetting to someone. And your thin-skinned mod couldn't handle the criticism - a man after your own heart.

Maybe it was inappropriate for anyone to "police" my reasonable comment. Hope that answers your quesiton.

This is all my fault.

Nope - it's mine. I hadn't been back to this thread since I deleted Harlan's post, or I'd have directly addressed this. MTP, I appreciate you having my back, I really do.

But, I deleted Harlan's post. I did it for a reason, a reason that I won't apologize for. I have a hunch that Gunakor was posting at about the same time I was moving Harlan's post and subsequently deleting it. Why? Thought you'd never ask.

If you go back and read the first page of posts, right down to Gunakor's query of Harlan, this was a GREAT thread. Football related, on topic, about a subject that many of us were concerned about over the offseason, and are pleasantly surprised with the outcome. It could have been a great "healing" thread, bringing opposing viewpoints together based on a players "performance" which is what this game is all about.

Then, out of the clear blue sky, here comes Harlan. ZING! Go reread his post. Anything harmful? Some say no. I disagree. It was designed to create dissention and take things off topic. I blew away the comment because I didn't want this thread to go off topic and into the gutter like so many others. Had I seen Gunakor's comment, I wouldn't have deleted it. It broke up the continuity of the thread and then the lack of continuity became the fulcrum that ruined a great thread. <sigh>

Harlan, if you'd learn to police yourself, no one would censor you. You won't, so I did. I'll do it again, if I have to. Your comment was designed to be divisive and off topic. It wasn't in any way shape or form related to this topic. That in itself is OK, but it had a sinister objective to it, and that wasn't ok, so I did something about it.

Mission - I respectfully disagree about the continuation of this forum. This forum is driving off good people, right now today, who have insight and might share, except, for worrying about how their post will be dissected and criticized and be another cause of dissention among us. Lots of forums don't put up with crap like harlan's post in this thread. They thrive just fine. Others thrive with a relatively small group of posters who have similar viewpoints and understand each others humor. It just depends. Both ways work. What drives me away are topics that don't have anything to do with the title that I wanted to read about.

So, that's that. I did it. It was the FIRST post I've ever deleted that was in a "multi post" thread. Hopefully it's the last. We'll see.

BTW - I am also shitting on this great thread by posting this.

As am I too. Where this topic has gone is what I was trying to avoid by removing the comment that I removed. Best laid plans...

Yes you where trying to start shit so save it. Your comment (that had nothing to do wit this topic) hijacked this thread cuz look at what me and you are talking about. and continue to mess it up with.

Your crying ass should scroll up and read where I thought he shouldnt have deleted it before you run your mouth. As for your punk ass insult, if I did what was in my heart you would be long gone. Your very presence here defies what you argue for. You have received special treatment that no one else has (extra accounts, posting private messages). Guilty as hell if you ask me.

Maybe you need to call yourself a "lawyer".

**Harlan Huckleby** · 09-18-2008, 01:03 PM

i never posted private messages. and your "extra account" was an account I used for about a month two years ago when I just wanted to read the forum anonymously. big hairy deal.

hijacked the thread? if your trigger happy deputy hadn't deleted it, my side comment would have passed largely unnoticed.

And it was relevant - the original post was provocative, just like the other thread that got stupidly moved.
