ieatcrayonz Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 There are 22 people on the field and no one of them wins or loses for their team. Certainly some help their team win and some do not. The funny part is the reactions to these things. They seem to be based on strange sets of parameters. Let's examine Fitz vs. Whitner. Fitz Fact: Fitz was picked in the 7th round from a non-football school and kicked around the NFL for a few years before landing with the Bills. Fitz Fact: Fitz has been good overall this year and it is great to see the Bills winning. The Bills are 4-2 Fitz Fact: Fitz's bad throws probably cost the Bills a win yesterday. Fitz Fact: Ftiz is still popular and I believe rightfully so. Dope on Donte: Whitner was probably picked too high in the draft and was from a football powerhouse. When he became a free agent he had multiple suitors Dope on Donte: Donte has had a good career and helped his teams win. The Niners are 5-1 Dope on Donte: He made a bad play earlier in the year that cost his team a game Dope on Donte: He was absolutely crushed on this board and everything about him was criticized. Lesson: There is no point in ripping a player after a bad play. Donte's leadership role in crafting the 9ers is proof of this. He is gone now so we can't cry over spilled milk but let's not spill it again and start ripping Fitz. Keep positive about Fitz. We need players to win games. Yes it would be nice if we still had Donte, but we don't because we were so negative. Let's not be having this same conversation about Fitz in a couple of years. Fitz probably got a pass because of his underdog status while Whitner was a stud from a powerhouse schoolbut I worry about Fitz's honeymoon period ending. If a guy truly stinks like Maybinot or the Glove wearing Mary, rip away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
