I can't help it if you don't get what I am saying. That doesn't make me wrong.

We don't have to "get you". I've seen enough of your previous posts to know you're a dumbass.

GMac is a really good game manager QB IMO. I can see where they would compare him to Brady in that sense (last year). This year he did a good job but had more mental errors like holding the ball too long. Not the talent brady is but he's a smooth operator so to speak. Speaking of Verne..... Does anyone else think he looks like a damn glow worm? that fulckers fat neck just pisses me off for some reason

I'm not sure interviews matter so much for defensive linemen. If he can play, he can play.


I actually heard Cowherd talking about a proven correlation between lower wonderlic scores and greater achievement by DTs in the NFL (or Dlinemen in general).

You do not want a super smart DT. You want a mean angry individual that thinks, "see ball, hit, kill". Probably in that order.

What you're saying doesn't make sense. You are comparing a guy who cheated to gain an advantage and make himself a better player to a guy who naturally dominated and had some questionable plays sprinkled in. It's not the same at all. If you wanted to try and compare him to like Mike Tyson or Dennis Rodman it would have made a lot more sense.

I know you get frustrated because you aren't very smart, but no worries...you always have your GED to fall back on.

It's like trying to figure out if Sammy Sosa would have been good without steroids.


I fail to see the comparison so you’ll have to help me out. Here’s how I see it:
Steroids are a banned chemical substance that makes you faster and stronger.
Taking cheap shots gets you a couple of 15 yard penalties and a “thug” label.

How can you compare the two especially when it comes to talent? If anything, the cheap shot might have the inverse relationship to steroids. If a guy is no talent, and pulls personal fouls every time he’s in the game, he isn’t going to play long. If you’re freakishly strong and fast (steroid user), you’ll play more.

I think some NFL GM’s might disagree and they’ll evaluate Fairley’s talent soon enough.

I have noticed a pattern with you and TIM

When cornered you resort to saying you don't understand or it doesn't make sense. when TIM is cornered he calls us morons and says he will no long pay attention to our posts.

you both deal with it differently yet both are using cheap ways out of an argument(this wasn't even an argument really)

You are right about his physicality, but where you are blind is how a cheap move here or there will inflate those stats a great deal. Much like steroids would inflate a Baseball players stats. You can't properly judge how he would help your team if that is the case.


I watched Fairly rip down a lineman numerous times. THat is not a legal move, but officials usually miss it since it was so quick.

TIM I have given up on you . You are a moron and I will ignore your posts from now on.

For those saying Fiarly and Suh are the best they've ever seen,you guys must be young or blinded by recent history.
1st Fairley isn't as dominate as Suh was.
2nd have any of you heard of Warren Sapp? he got votes for the heisman Trophy.He was dominant at Miami.Also have you guys forgotten how good Tommie Harris was at Oklahoma his freshman and sophomore seasons?Had a down junior year but was dominate the 1st 2 years.Also had a guy named "big daddy" Dan Wilkinson at Ohio St. that was pretty special as well.That's just into the early to mid '90's.There are a ton more guys that were better before that.just because it's most recent doesn't mean it's the best.

3rd before the chop block on Dorsey he was dominating more than Fairley did.After the dirty block he was slowed a ton.

Alahunter is the main one I do this with. Sometimes you also, but mainly hunter.

It is because at some point you have to realize you are arguing with someone who may not be very smart, but is very determined with limitless time to waste and nothing better to do. It is akin to a 5 year old that only knows how to answer every question asked with "because".

At that point it is better to just say STFU and go to your room. That is how I sometimes have to treat yourself and Hunter.

Sorry if it bothers you.

You have missed my point. That's not what I was saying. You are being too literal. Big picture and abstract thinking come in handy.

My point was that if other players used their strength and thuggish techniques the way that Fairley did they may have had the same success. They did not.

In the same way, Sammy Sosa juiced... He clearly had talent... Had other players juiced, Sosa may not have seemed so dominant. We don't know for sure.

We just don't know because of the choices and methods each player used to dominate.

Suh didn't drive people into the ground like that, or flirt each week with the threat of ejection, penalty, or suspension based on his method of playing. Had Suh used Fairley's techniques, he may have been more dominant. We don't know.

If you don't understand this, my condolences to your wife and children who depend on you for sustenance.

I know bella has some weird cyber following on here and you are trying to get in her good graces but the comparison was bad. Awful actually. Any elementary understanding of sports or common sense will tell you that.

Like you said it's not an argument. A false statement was made and it was called out. Simple as that.

So pushing James head down as he got up helped him beat offensive line double teams and get in the backfield all night? You would think if anything it would fire up the other team and make them even more determined to block him or take him out. He simply is too good and unblockable. For such a horribly dirty player he has had four personal fouls called on him all season and two of them were completely bogus. I'll readily admit there is no place in the game for the late hit to the back on Murray and I'm not condoning what he did last night, although I don't think that one is really a big deal. But in no way do a couple of late hits have any impact on the ability to judge him as a dominant football player. It may impact your opinion of him as a person and you may hate the way he plays but you can't deny his greatness.

You are comparing steriods to ummm a "cheap move here or there by fairley?" Inflating the stats similar to steriods in baseball? Pitiful.
