Not everyone....just the loudest.

This is correct.

This slide has just been eating at me. I went from being a huge Decker fan to him being my least favorite player on the team overnight.

has he still not had anyone with a mic in front of him yet? so that he can at least try to explain himself? or the punt return?

Go the the sneakers slide thread. He was quoted, and it actually makes him look worse because he basically admits to sliding to avoid injury.

Now that the WRs suck even with Manning, just think had we kept Tebow and got him some real talented WRs and TEs. We would be 3-0. Now we know why Tebow couldnt pass. He didnt have enough talent to throw to....




sarcasm alert

Sarcasm is supposed to be red.......

Blaming the WR's for Tebow's ridiculous passing was, and still is, pathetic.......

this hate for Decker is over ridiculous. Hate him for the drops, but but shit, the guy plays on both kick teams and has returned punts. You'll not find many pussies who are returners. He made a boneheaded play. For the love of pete how many threads do we need to have to discuss it?

I admit I am going overboard, but I think it's because I like the guy so much and was so disappointed. I remember Rod Smith priding himself on never running out of bounds. Eddy Mac didn't wear pads and owned the middle of the field. I also think a big part of the outrage is that he had yards to gain - he shouldn't be hook sliding in the first place, but it was a premature hook slide, which is the worst kind.

This is what I was going to say. I'm fine with a good stats argument, but it's better to actually have seen each and every drop. Yeah, it's a gut thing, but that's often better than stripping all the important information like the circumstances of the drop.

I'm not going to panic. Jerry Rice had the dropsies there for a while as a rookie, he panned out ok. I'm much more concerned about the slide. That was just beyond me.

OK, since the drops have cause Peyton Manning's completion percentage to drop from his career average of 64.9 to 60.0, then we can assume that Tebow's "real completion percentage" should be 52.2. That is still atrocious.

You can stop patting yourselves on the back for blaming wide receivers and not Tebow for sucking.

Mo, it just occurred to me, Knowshon will be out of the league before Tebow.

If that happens, I'll own it. Tebow also has one less year accrued.

That's absolutely absurd when you think about it.......
