HA HA. He is who we knew he was.

TriCHawk wrote:Wasn't there an issue with him maybe not buying in, or not being a real leader during his time in Seattle? Could be what's going on there. Your QB is supposed to be a leader, and Flynn said something to the effect of 'I'm not that kind of guy, and I won't pretend to be'.

Flynn had a tough game, but sending Flynn to third string behind Matt McGloin smells like tanking for a QB in the draft. Flynn needs more help than Oakland can provide, but he's capable when given a chance. I think they are afraid that Flynn could pilot the Raiders to as many wins as Palmer did, and that would be a problem.

Yes, we know.

You know, I've got 8500 posts here, and I've never once made a random smart ass remark to hurt anyone else. It's probably trending 500 to 0 right now against my favor, and it sucks. You probably knew I didn't mean it that way, but you still had to say that. Lame.
Jeez, you step on either side of the line and you still get waxed sometimes. I only meant that statement as a reminder that you don't have to be a Flynn lover to say objectively positive things about him. I got over gloating about Wilson ages ago when his success was old news. Sometimes I hate this place.

Kip, you bring it up so often you should be able to get teased about it without getting pissed.

In this case, it was just to show which side I'm on, nothing more. In fact, just about every time I bring up Wilson, it's as context for a statement that follows.
What pisses me off is the totally unjustified hate and disrespect I get. You have no idea. The target on my back got old a long time ago. My ability to endure it is waning. And I'm not talking about typical message board stuff, but disrespect I get out of jealousy or because of perceptions people have specific to me. I try to be nice to people. Doesn't matter. Assholes abound. And I'm (expletive) sick of it. The last 12 months or so I've given serious thought to quitting .net over it. People think I get "special" treatment, but it's really that I get treated especially bad by jerks.
I hope anyone reading this understands the difference between wanting respect and wanting to avoid disrespect. I don't care if people think I'm awesome or think I suck, but in both cases I think I'd rather they just keep those thoughts to themselves. Even people that praise me are really just adding fuel to the fire for hater assholes.
Anyway, I don't know how much longer I'll be here. But I'll tell you this, if someone is an asshole to me and I sense it's because of a deep seeded resentment, and not innocent poking fun, I'm through shrugging it off and cracking a smile. I've officially lost the ability to put up with it.

Kearly, I think you're taking it wrong. At least, IMO. I didn't read The Glove's comment as malicious, at all. If it was me, I'd be honored that The Glove said that.
My own arrogance doesn't make me fall over myself praising you, like a lot of others. But, you're assessment of Wilson was the exact opposite of what most would do in your "position". Far too often, people take the pessimistic route, because it's safe. There's 32 teams and even more draft prospects, hedging your bets with "tempered enthusiasm" is the safest route. You didn't do that with Wilson. You we're closer to me than yourself with that assessment, "emotion AND logic". It permanently elevated you, IMO.
Busting balls is a sign of respect and camaraderie, for a lot of people. These comments we're respect.

Seattle Seahawks Matt Flynn Jersey
Size XL
New, Never Worn, "Mint" flawless condition
I don't think there are that many out there like it, but it is the only jersey I have seen produced without the player ever taking a snap as a starter. You never know, it could become a highly sought after collectors item
$10 or will trade for a bottle of wine
seriously though, I hope the best for Flynn and hope he turns around the downward trend

I'd understand your reaction if I had a history of disrespecting you (I mean yeah I've disagreed with you many a times) but I haven't and I don't.

I will say that with respect to guys saying he should have thicker skin, that's fine and dandy for dudes who throw around the smartass remarks themselves. I'm not averse to making a snarky post, and so it's no surprise if I get one directed at me. Kearly's point about him never being snarky is a good one. If all you do is come on the site, spend a lot of time and effort to make informative posts, and show courtesy, then it does hit you harder when someone comes out of nowhere just to be a jerk, and sucks the fun out of things.
