Ingle Gone

[Harlan Huckleby]

Merlin is taking a beating in this thread and after reading through it I have to say it is well deserved.

Well, Merlin offers some, shall we say unique opinions.

But that makes the forum more interesting!

I don't like reading people call him a douche bag and a waste of space etc. Its juvenile, boring, enforcies conformity. Leads to a bland forum. See JSO.

Stick to arguing about the stuff, not ripping the poster.

There's been alot of that lately.....

I'm with Iron Mike...it's the #3 QB spot. They're going to give this Thompson kid a chance in game 4 to see if he's worth keeping. If not, there's a chance they bring ingle back on the PS. Doubt it though, if the kid hasn't shown accuracy.

Harlan, I agree with you also about the posts...I don't know Merlin, so I can't say whether he resembles a douche bag, but I do disagree with his opinion of Rodgers and Ingle. I think ARod has shown much more potential to be a starter than Ingle thus far, although I'm not 100% sold on Rodgers as the "heir apparent" yet.
IIRC from the OTA/early camp reports, when Ingle took split snaps with the Rodgers with the #1's (when Favre missed practice) it didn't sound like he was doing well then, so I'm not convinced he'd suddenly turn it on in a real game with the #1's.

My two cents...hopefully that doesn't make me a douche bag.

Look, the only reason this has become an issue is becuase of Merlin. He is the one that brought up Martin, trying to show that "Rodgers is a bust" so he can continue to justify his irrational hate of Rodgers. The board is jumping on him for his lack of brain power accordingly.

Nah, the board isn't jumping on Merlin because of his lack of brain power. The board is jumping on Merlin because he doesn't share the "rosy outlook" of the majority.

When you don't share the "rosy outlook" you will be reminded of that at EVERY turn, because no one want to think of their prediction as wrong, and NO fan wants to think that their team won't be competitive.

Merlin makes some here think, and they don't like that. Merlin got this one wrong, big time, but he's always had tunnel vision with Rodgers. He despises Ted, so he desperately wants him to fail with a 1st round pick, but Merlins points are not all bad.

You win some, and you lose some. Merlin gets picked on, not for losing, but because he doesn't share the "majority opinion".

When you majority opinion guys get it wrong, you don't beat each other up, do you? Nope.

[Guiness]

Aaron Brooks, anyone? Sure, I wouldn't want him starting, or perhaps not even as a number 2, but as a number 3 insurance guy, why not? Or, do you think TT would want someome more developmental? He's familiar with the Packers and the offense.

Nah, don't bring in a vet for 3rd string. If you get to that point, you're screwed anyways.

Bring in a develpmental guy, if anything. If not, and Favre and Rodgers get hurt *shudder* Holliday finishes the game, and pick up Brooks (or Nall, or...) during the following week...

BTW there's a guy on the Bill's roster called CJ Ah You
Their own Taco Wallace, I guess

he has the right to his opinion. If you don't agree shoot it full of holes...no need to insult and name call......you don't want the board to fall to the level of usenet.

I know I can be in the Kool Aid crowd some times. I want to believe this team is going to be good and headed in the right direction. I appreciate some of you who can give us the other perspective. You show us another point of view that we may be blinded to. But, as you pointed out, Merlin is just wrong in this case. Rogers may never be a great or even good quarterback but there is no way you can look at what he's done this preseason and not be at least somewhat impressed. I don't mean to pick on Merlin and I don't think he's an idiot or a douche. I am just curious, if we are wearing rose colored glasses, what color glasses are you guys wearing? As much as we may be blind to the bad things on this team, it seams some of you are blind to the good.

Didn't you know? They're the persecuted minority whose perspective is without flaw.

One day all of us will know what they do - that Ted really Satan. And we'll accept Mike Sherman back into our hearts as our franchises true savior.

shhhhhhh.... you've said too much already

All this sarcasm from so many different people; I hope one day it goes away and we can all just debate about the Packers without the clever references

It may never happen B. But if it were to, the Mod would be a good place to start.
