    I'll always support Carson even though he has a very different worldview than me. I just don't think this is the case for most people who don't like him. To be fair to those people, Carson has been struggling and it isn't always obvious to everyone that its the team around him that is lacking and he is trying to do too much. I think its clear Carson has the ability to be a top 5 QB in this league, but its not clear to a lot people, and not all of them are just idiot Cowboys fans.

    Also, I hate Philly. Fuckem. I really want him outta there so I can fully enjoy his success.

    Like most things what93about says, it isn't. The PETA folks bash him for hunting more than anyone except cowboys fans

    I was breathing again today. Pretty sure that’s offensive to SOMEBODY and I’m not even famous! (Infamous maybe, but famous, no.)

    He was an okay QB in the NFL. Would have been a good backup for sure and a possibly a low level starter in the right system and should have elected to go the Taysom Hill route as I heard he was approached to do that. By the way no one ever mentions the fact he was black balled from the NFL just like Kaepernick. Both were basically not resigned due to the media harassment that would follow them and be a major distraction.

    People definitely mock people of faith and Wentz has been a great man of his word. I don't expect him to be perfect because nobody is but he sure has been a great role model for my family. I do wish he would get out of this football slump.

    By the way even hall of famers have some horrible years as I was a huge Elway fan but I can be realistic as well. Here are Elways stats five years plus in:
    1988 - 17TD and 19INT
    1989 - 18TD and 18INT
    1992- 10TD and 17INT
    Tim Tebow was not an OK NFL QB. He was not blackballed, he was just not good enough.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    Which NFL QB would you call a comp to him today, for talent level and play style?

    That was the same with Kaep. The dude just wasn't that good, in spite of a couple of years that he played much above his own skill/talent level. It frustrates me that people only think that he wasn't picked up because of the controversy that followed him around. The guy was WAY past his 15 minutes.

    Note: I don't knock him for his activism. Had he been a better player, he could have stuck in the league and perhaps could have affected some more substantial change.
    Insert something clever here...

    Lets not forget that Kaep was successful because of the style-system he was in.

    I agree with him needing to be better he might have stuck. But he over played his value-worth card and nobody was willing to pay what he wanted. He then played the race card as the reason.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
