I must be a casual fan.

: )

You're more than a casual fan in my heart...

 

I

 

I like the concept, but am not a fan of how it sounds--kinda sounds like something I would say in a "baby talk" voice.

 

Lol, I think I'm going to refer to him as Wunderkins from now on. Just becuase of this :nana:

 

I also think you should be prenouncing it "vunderkins"

Although I really like the sound to SWAT-kins, it sounds like he's a CB or an incompetent receiver who doesn't catch but swats the ball.

 

Yeah, like JJ Watt (often referred to as JJ SWATT)... who plays for the Houston Texans, swats balls out of the air and has had that nickname for at least a year or two.

 

I don't like the 'SWAT' angle. We are better than those in Seattle who took our "12th Man" monicker.

Why the hell does every decent player need to have a nickname?

I feel like a curmudgeon, but I agree!

Threads like this, to me, highlight our desperation as a fan base to be relevant.

The best nicknames happen organically; Thurmanator, K-gun, Bruuuuuuuce!

Crappy ones are contrived in pre-season- Thurmal, Thurmas, and every nick name used in a preseason thread over the past 15 years.

For real though, every year there is a "What will our offense be called?" thread, or a "Lets nick name our first round pic!" thread. What did we decide EJ's nickname would be last summer?

I know people do it for fun, but in Buffalo, some times bad ideas catch on! As a public service, don't put bad Ideas out there!
