26CornerBlitz Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Is it me or are most bash EJ threads written by old white men? I like EJs game yesterday outside of a few bad reads which EVERY QB makes. Remember in SB 25 Belichick put 8 men in coverage & Kelly had to throw a ton of checkdowns & draws to Thurman. The Chargers took away our run game and press covered our young WRs & they stunted their DLine and collapsed the pocket on EJ. Our young team folded like a cheap suit. This is the NFL. It wouldn't be a shocker if an element of this rings true. But who would have the stones to admit to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fredonia Curse Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Is it me or are most bash EJ threads written by old white men? Bomani Jones bashes EJ quite a bit which is really bizarre because he's young and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It wouldn't be a shocker if an element of this rings true. But who would have the stones to admit to it? Would they be the same ones who praise Russell Wilson or think Geno may have a brighter future? The ones who thought that Tarvaris got a raw deal in Buffalo? Thought that Tuel had no business being ahead of Lewis? Those grumpy old white men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Cain Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 How can you tell what color they are? And what are you getting at? Listen to poor Sal on WGR after a loss. My dad, brother, friends. They say nothing good about EJ when we win, but it's his fault when we lose. It is convenient to blame it all on EJ. This is the minority 25% on TBD that want Orton starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 What color were the people who started the "[Fitz/Edwards] sucks" threads everyday? But those guys actually did suck. Anyone who's been tea-bagged by EJ knows he's so awesome that the only reason anyone could criticize him is racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 An element not all. So kind of like projecting a small minority of instances to paint a full picture? Kind of like saying EJ is improving because he threw 5 good passes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I love the inherent irony of suggesting racism may be at the heart of the EJ criticism while in the same sentence marginalizing another segment of the population. It occurs to me that barring an untimely death or sudden spike in melanin that one day I will be old and white. For my edification, at what point do my views become invalid?

I hope to god you can tip me of on how you know this. It would be fascinating to hear your theory.

I'm not going to debate a hypothetical because it's not my argument. But again, it wouldn't shock me if some people were anti-EJ because of what Dean Cain posted.

No offense, but that's about the flimsiest argument that I've seen to support a premise in quite some time. The only thing interesting about your post is that you apparently were trying to tell us something about the anti-EJ crowd, but instead you unintentionally told us so much more about yourself.
