It'd be a more effective counter-argument if I had actually made a claim like that.
But since you bring it up, I am in fact basing this on your posting history and not simply on this thread. You are far from questioning Gibbs in every post, but to say that it isn't a noticeable trend is also dishonest.
Regarding Gibbs, I do think he's great, but I'm not one of those who thinks just because Gibbs says it, it's got to be the right call. Is he usually much more right than wrong? Obviously. Is he infallible? No.
You just described the opinion of approxiamately 100% of the board, yet this paragraph reads like it's a novel concept. Name a single person that honestly believes that Gibbs is infalible. Straw men are easy to burn. All that we're doing right now is throwing out what we think about an unknown (or have you been watching Campbell in practice?).
We're
fans, we don't affect a single thing during the offseason. I fail to see how guarded optimism is any better than driving the bandwagon.
Ah well. This kind of debate happens far too often on this board.
A: "
X player or decision sucks!"
B: "All of you haters are going to be disproven!"
A: "What, just because I question
one thing makes me a hater? I actually love my team more because I'm willing to question it!"
B: "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going with Gibbs on this one."
A: "Don't get me wrong, I like Gibbs too, I just don't think that he's perfect."
B: "I'm going with Gibbs because he's there every day in practice, what have you done?"
A: "I watched them all last season, and it's obvious that this isn't going to work out!"
B: "And so the option that you haven't seen yet has to be better?"
etc. etc.; repeat.
. . .right past each other, every time.
You can't deny a single sentence from my last post and its clear by your reply.
