Was this off season more fun than last?

[58Forever]

Let's see last year all we could talk about was Corey Dillon...

I'd say with all the wheelings and dealings and ****ing with the Rams...getting Green, Holmes, Horne, losing Grbac, McGlockton, Hasty...

This off season gave us much more to argue about...and not many rumors...I am psyched...I'm not ready for the Summer to be over, but I'm ready for some football....:cool:

Packfan,

I wasn't arguing what type of player Reggie White, Desmond Howard or Brett Favre is.

I was arguing your claim that in order to build a championship team, you have to do it through the draft.

If you agree with me that the players that helped you win the Super Bowl weren't Packers draftees, then we have nothing to argue about anymore.

I proved my point.

I think Desmond Howard had a lot to do with your success in that Super Bowl. He didn't win the MVP for nothing.

Lots or running room or not, he took the ball to the house.

13 starters from the draft - with FA fill-ins to make up the remainder of the team.

Going into this season, the Chiefs should have at least:
Tait, Shields, Riley, SlyMo, Gonzo, Hicks, Browning, Edwards, Maz, Woods, Wesley, and a CB (Warfield, Bartee or Dennis) all starting, all draft picks.

Assuming Grunny has retired.

Minimum 12 starters from the draft/rookie FAs - with FA fill-ins to make up the remainder of the team.

Seems like the Chiefs have been built through the draft about as well as the GB SB winning team :p

Gaz and Keg,

First let me say that you two are probably the best debater on the board. But in this instance you are beating a dead horse. (I love that saying)

No matter what logic you throw at him he’s going to put it through the PackMan compiler and spin it for his own use. It doesn’t matter if it makes sense or not, he’s one of those people that can convince himself he is right no matter how depraved his statements are, thus making debating frivolous.

I do applaud your efforts and vigor although, I would have given up long ago.

[Luzap]

Ken,

With your incredible knowledge and insight into the game, do you think you could now (after having about a year to think about it) answer a simple football question regarding schemes?

"What is an H Back and where does he line up?"

Otter-

I have no illusions about changing Packfan’s opinion. Each of us has his own opinion and I enjoy hearing everyone’s perspectives. Input from my BB companions has challenged and even overthrown some of my own cherished opinions.

My purpose is to point out and correct factual errors. If Packfan chooses to ignore those corrections, that is his right. But the rest of us need to know when a statement is blatantly untrue.

A poster either does not know he has made a factual error [in which case the only polite thing to do is inform him so that he will not commit the same faux pas again] or he is well aware that his statement is false and is falsifying facts to prop up his position [in which case the other members of the BB should be made aware of the situation, so that they can consider the source].

I hope that the posters on the BB will extend that same courtesy to me, should I ever actually commit a factual error…

Asking to be dogpiled at the first error.

[DanT]

Speaking of courtesy, I think it's a good practice to provide a source when correcting the factual inaccuracies of another poster. That's one practice I would love to see become standard on Internet bulletin boards because it tends to elevate the civility and the informativeness of discussions.

Otter -

Unlike Gaz, I'm simply fantastically bored, and Ken's the lucky target.

Like Gaz, I tend to point out errors in fact, I'm just less...tactful about it today. I tire of seeing this pattern of "maybe that's why KC hasn't won a playoff game in 8 years," especially from a Green Bay fan, a following of the very bastion of lackluster teams. I have been on this great Earth for 27 years, and in 17 of those years, the mighty peckers were not able to break through the great barrier known as the .500 record. Yet Ken somehow thinks he's the high priest of football and his mission in life is to imbue we poor Kansas City savages with his holy pigskin knowledge.

Kind of a shame, since I'm going to be off for a few days now, and my last valuable moments here were spent bantering with a troll...

[Otter]

Keg and Gaz,

I was looking at the debate from my own otter-centric view. I was getting frustrated just reading his inability to comprehend simple facts.

You guys are two seasoned veterans, next time I’ll just keep out.

[Warrior5]

is that with Packfan back, I'm staying away from the cans of 30W oil!

ROFLMAO :D

Might just have to start reposting this again for kenny.

[KCTitus]

Interesting....

NFLScoopFrank argues the same point I did, that Desmond Howard a FA reject pokes holes in the 'build through the draft' theory as I did a few months ago.

I see that prior argument convinced Ken that he was wrong because this time he concedes the point.

Frank, you may have just made the Packfan all idiot team (a team of those posters who made ken look like an idiot).

[Mark M]

NFLFrank--
You can use the ignore feature on in your member profile to filter out our resident troll. I choose not to just because I need someone to vent on every once in a while.

And you definitely have a spot on the All-Idiot team. I will make a new roster when the season gets closer.

Cory, he's like a really bad case of jock itch - just when you think that you've used enough spray - you stop - and then BAMMMMM - that $hit is back......

[DenverChief]

wow...even I knew Farve was drafted by the Falcons... (I have his rookie card!..any buyers?) ...but I forgot who drafted Howard
