HE WITH HORNS
Hall of Fame
Have you ever read the PD board the last couple years? Half of those people vehemently HATED him, because of his contract, or because he wasn't Suh. The hate was real. I'm sure some of them had voodoo dolls even, haha.
Sam had to prove he couldn't play.
Davis has to prove he can.
That is the difference.

Well if they did have Voodoo dolls they seemed to work...
Austin Davis is my QB right now...because he's the guy starting for the Rams.

Old Larry is basking in satisfaction somewhere right now. . . .
It took Rodgers time to gain NFL strength as well. Davis is young. He hasn't touched his ceiling physically or mentally.
This isn't the PD board and we here at ROD don't really care what those people post or why, or else we'd be hanging around with them over there instead of being here.
Hate is a very strong word and those who use that term to describe their fellow posters are trying to diminish them as people who's opinions are worth nothing because...well...they're hateful people so therefore what they post isn't worth paying attention to. It's kind of like throwing around the accusation of "racist" in a political argument.
Or maybe the word "hate" has become so watered down in our current use of the English language that it doesn't mean what it used to mean. I can understand some people hating mass murderers or child molesters but not a quarterback in the NFL. I find the whole concept of that to be ludicrous.
Sorry folks, we're not grammar nazis or dictators here, you can use that term if you want to. It's just becoming a pet peeve of mine and I'm probably just jousting at windmills. Carry on. :shades:
oldlarry, bro. oldlarry. To this day, I'm convinced that creepy fellow either had his love spurned by Sam after drunkenly hitting on him or Sammyboy boned his wife/girlfriend/something.
I gotta disagree, Prime Time. It might be confusing, but hater doesn't actually mean a hateful person. It's actually just slang for someone who can't be happy for someone else's success for whatever reason. I don't think it carries as heavy a connotation as you think it does.
Yeah, that's what I guessed in my earlier post.
Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me guys. I'm probably just overreacting.
I guess I was under the impression "hater" was a term used by people who couldn't come up with an intelligent response to criticism.
Example:
Statement: "So and so really hasn't lived up to their hype".
Response: "Haters gonna hate".
It's absolutely used to try and invalidate criticism by implying it's based on personal dislike.

At this point, I'm with Davis. We still have the rest of the season to play though.
Bradford could be the better pure thrower but he's too conservative and rarely takes a risk, require's great protection, and he's injury prone.
Davis is more aggressive, but still will take what the defense gives him. He senses pressure, buys time with his legs, and makes a play. I can't even count how many times Davis has made a huge play when more than likely Bradford would have been sacked or he throws it away.
In no way do I think Davis will be an elite QB at this point, but I feel like he will give us a better chance to win games now and down the road. I think he'll only get better.

I'd say it's moreso used on someone who ignores the positives in another person and focuses and fixates on what they perceive to be a flaw because it fits their argument.
i.e. "Yeah Cam Newton is a physical beast with a strong, accurate arm, 4.4 speed, a TE frame, teammates that love him, and a winners's mentality, but he has a 'fake smile'. Future bust."
Thanks for that one Nolan Nawrocki.
I always thought maybe Sam took his parking at Walmart or something like that.
I swear old larry would break into Sam's house and put crazy glue in his Preparation H if he thought he'd get away with it.

Sam is a good kid, and he does have a good arm with an accurate throw. But its useless having that if you're made of glass.
We gotta move on, that ship has sailed.
