My New Hero

[Peppermint Patty]

Have you read any of the GCMPats post about Johnny and A&M? This thread is about a guy saying he wouldn't draft JFF and it's his hero. I guess you don't mind if the shoe is on the other foot.

 

I've read all his work. That guy is a genius!

I rest my case. This is the type of crap I read on here about VY from aggieville.

Sorry but as usual you miss the point.  His comment was an after the fact statement after VY has already crashed and burned - while Texas Fans comments are about how JFF does not have a chance to succeed in the NFL are before he has a chance to prove himself.  Major difference from perspective.

No "as usual" to it. I missed nothing. VY was questioned about being a pocket passer, his ability to read defenses, his intelligence, anything people could come up with. There is no doubt in any ags mind about JFF though. None of these even factor in. No conviction.

Have you read anything I have written about who the Texans should draft?

I said they should take Clowney or the tackle from Auburn, unless the Browns will give up both of their 1st rounders then they should trade the pick.

I would agree with you, PM.  You are mostly reasonable in your assessments.  I have no idea how old you are, but I have found that younger fans/former students to be like you.  There is not quite the blind hatred that makes a lot of the older Ags unable to be objective.  I enjoy your contributions on this board.

I have always stated that I felt JFF will be a functional QB in the NFL and time will tell if he can adjust to the NFL talent level - could he be a bust hell yes but that applies ti all new NFL QB's - I just have not written him off like ALL Texas fans seem to have.  You could be right on the Aggie's and VY and JFF comparison - but the Aggie's I run with never doubted that VY was the best college QB at the time and felt that he would be successful in the NFL but I cannot speak for all Aggie's at the time.

 

The same thing that you stated about the blind hatred of anything Longhorn from younger Aggie's can also be stated about the blind hatred of anything Aggie from young Texas fans - i.e. GCMPats2, Bulldogbacker and Amphibious Rodent are the 3 on this server that fit that description.  I have never disrespected the Longhorns or any of its players or Coaches in any of my post as I have a lot of respect for the University but the same cannot be said of many Texas fans.

 

I will apologize for the as usual as I believe that I thought I was responding to GCMPats2 - Sorry  :mellow:

You have that backwards. I said (I think) that the older fans are more blinded by their hatred. The younger ones (under 40) have been much more gracious and openminded in my experiences (even when visiting Kyle field).
