Okay, just a small rant, then you can move along.
As far as being a fan goes, it really gets under my skin when people pile on inaccurately or undeservedly. In the most recent example, while reading a chat from the GBPG about the draft, this was the answer to one of the questions about Perry:
Okay, so asking about drive, Mr Vandermause brings up Harrell--who wasn't even asked about--to explain an example about how drive was the difference between success and failure in the NFL. Umm, what? Wasn't Harrell injured? Didn't he try everything he could to get his back fixed including acupuncture, chiropractic care, and multiple surgeries? This is the same guy who played through a torn up bicep in college because he wanted to help his team win.
I just find it ludicrous to blame him for failing because of a lack of drive. And I honestly get tired of the piling on. You want a bad GB draft pick: Brian Brohm. Not Justin Harrell. Harrell actually contributed and showed the ability to play in the NFL in his rookie season--something difficult to do as a rookie DT in the NFL. Then he tears up his back working out--you know, preparing for the season, and suddenly he didn't have talent or desire or drive??? Seriously???

Move along now. Nothing further to see.

Mike Vandermause:
He definitely has the potential to be an upgrade over Zombo-Walden-Jones, but isn't as good as Matthews. Yes, there are questions about his motor. Perry addressed that and said it gives him a chip on his shoulder and he is determined to prove people wrong. Kevin Greene will certainly light a fire under Perry in training camp, if not before. I guess only time will tell on that so-called shortcoming. Some guys, such as Justin Harrell, simply don't have the hunger to excel in the NFL. Perry will have to prove he has what it takes to succeed at this level.
