ieatcrayonz Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Mark Wohlers called me a fag. I guessing that his comparison was based on how they look alike or maybe how they both incredibly suck, or how they both play like "Los Gatos", not on their use of Gaydar.

JPicc2114 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 No, they both forgot how to throw all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 No, they both forgot how to throw all of a sudden. In that case I'd go with Mackey Sasser. Wholers was good before he forgot how to throw. Sasser and Edwards both sucked before and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasser and Edwards both sucked before and after. What about the little second baseman, Chuck Knoblach? He couldn't get the ball from second to first.

True but he was good at first, then he sucked. that makes him more like Wohlers than Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well, these quotes do make me feel much more confident in both our QB and our coaches. But Schonert gave Edwards credit for adjusting as the game wore on, and the dump-off throws to running back Marshawn Lynch worked. Lynch had 10 catches for 58 yards. “You see Peyton Manning do it all the time,” Schonert said. “They just play Cover 2, Cover 2 and drop eight [in coverage], and he just keeps hitting Joseph Addai or whoever is his running back, and that’s his leading receiver. OK, Edwards was doing his Manning impression. Thank God Lynch is coordinated cause he wasn't getting hit in stride. It is good to know that Schonert feels like the checkdowns were the way to play. “The hardest thing that’s happened to me — this happened earlier in the season and it’s happened the past couple games — is that I’m preparing for defenses that we’re not really getting on Sundays or Monday nights,” But it’s just tough when they’re running the scout team and we’re not getting the things we’re seeing on tape.” Well, if I were a betting man I would say he should prepare for teams dropping 7-8 guys and waiting for him to dump the ball.

ieatcrayonz Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Here's a vote for Rick Ankiel... This is our best hope. First Ankiel was good, then he sucked and now he is one of the top 5 players in baseball. This shows that some players can suck horribly like Trent and then turn things around. There are two things that are different though: 1. Ankiel was good before he sucked. Trent does not have that in his favor. 2. Ankiel has the benefit of working for what is generally considered the best organization in pro sports. i am not as down on the Bills org as some, but they are not the Cards. There is one thing in the Ankiel comparison that works in Trent's favor: 1. Both Ankiel and Trent wear a glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well, these quotes do make me feel much more confident in both our QB and our coaches. Then, how about this quote: “If there’s nothing downfield I can’t force it,” he said. “That’s what was happening on those two interceptions. I don’t think that’s fear, I think I made the mistakes by forcing the ball down the field. That’s the same defense they ran the whole game. So I don’t think I need to keep throwing into coverage and keep putting myself in bad positions.” Should he be reminded that the INTs happened on 10-yd patterns? That's downfield?

At least Lindell and Evans will have some company. In addition to sucking, this guy is a dirt bag too? And popular with 75% of this board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's proven he can hit the long ball but he's barely a top 5 hitter on his own team. Pujols, Ludwick and Glaus are most certainly better than Ankiel (and Skip Shumacker will be better than him by next year if he isn't already) Also, he is a below average fielder who has very little range in centerfield. And what's your rationale for calling the Cards the best pro organization? I'm not saying you're wrong but you don't back that statement up with anything.

49er Fan Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 "First Ankiel was good, then he sucked and now he is one of the top 5 players in baseball." "This shows that some players can suck horribly like Trent and then turn things around." Ankiel has had a remarkable resurgence as an outfielder but saying he is even in the top 100 in MLB is pushing it after playing only 120 games in the '08 season and hitting .262 with 100 strikeouts. Even his power numbers and OPS %, which are his best stats, were easily eclipsed by scores of other players this year. As for Edwards, he has to turn it around as a quarterback - there's no other position on the field that he can move to unless he has some extra-point kicking experience that I don't know about. Sorry, but terrible terrible analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 He reminds me of Jim Everett after he started gettinig a pounding and began throwing off his back foot or holding the ball too long... He also reminded me last week of "Cougar" in the opening of the movie "Top Gun" where he lost the edge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
