Jay Walker I love the way you call games

Does he really look silly? Maybe some should look in the mirror for the silly . . .

Nah. I’m going back to the days of when jay had a show through out Baldwin bustle Hud....days he has defended that university to the point of beyond silliness at times. I understand he is just toeing the company line. But when you do to a point where you are obviously wrong it is not a good look.

I just don’t think there’s that many of them. If he makes these general statements it sounds like it’s many fans. I really think it’s a small percentage who blew up.

There are many who want to see one QB and let it play out. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable want.

Agreed. Deep down, I believe CMD wants to see one QB, but was not confident in either to pick and let it play out early on. That maybe was the wrong decision, but surely it is not me to make that call . . .

B, you forgot about the fans that just go ballistic here just to go ballistic. It is in their blood.

Also, the ballistic ones are the loudest.

I would love if we can see some numbers of how many users looked at one of these threads who did not go ballistics.

[CajunVic]

now there are 37 posters viewing the thread, only a handful went ballistic . . .

Why anyone listens to, or watches a program that makes them this angry is beyond comprehension. You do know you are not required to listen to him, right BWK?

More so previous threads. And a total number of users, not just current users looking.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, I'm just happy that we have passionate fans willing to get angry and call shows. We should do everything we can to protect that. Some fan bases would die to have it.

Now if we could get them into the stadium….

Every fan should have the right to get angry, call shows and post in places like this.

However, when they do so, they should expect push back when push back is in order and even in times when it is not in order. The standards should be the same for each type of poster.

Some become ill when the push back slaps them in the face. Too bad . . .

I think there’s separate issues being discussed, but lumped together.

1. Fans who don’t want a two QB system.
- my opinion: I hate two QB systems. As an offensive lineman it was different playing with two different QBs. I can’t imagine how different it would have been if I was a RB or WR.
- my opinion: using Billy’s first season as an example of good use of two QB systems is bad. We went 7-7 that year.

2. Fans complaining about one QB playing bad and wanting to see the other QB play.
- my opinion: that’s football. Players get benched all the time for bad play.

It’s not semantics. There is a difference.

You are correct. But take it a step further. There are those who think Chandler should be the starter. And there are those who think Ben should be the starter. In reality both have history to prove their points. A lot of people believe had Chandler been left in the ULM game we would have our starter right now. I don't agree with their assessment, but I do think they have a perfectly logical reason to believe what they believe. So I'm not mad at those people. They have a valid point.

Then there are those like myself who have seen enough to realize that there was a reason Mike had doubts about who should start at QB. The only reason Chandler wasn't the lone starter IMO is because Mike knew all along that Ben was just more of what would be considered a big time football player at that position. It happens. You have a guy who is good, but not great, serviceable, but not a difference maker. A guy who can manage a game when he has better players across the board & guide you to a win, but can't make the difference up between winning & losing.

And you have a guy who is a natural born risk taker who has a lot of ability & belief in himself. A guy who is going to make something happen one way or the other in a tight game wheter you're down by a field goal, or up by a field goal. A guy who is strong, tough & willing to put his body & reputation on the line to help his team win the game, or take on the responsibility of losing by himself. I don't doubt for minute that Mike has seen both of these attributes in both of these guys way before we did. The fact is in his radio interview Monday it's basically what he said.

So, there are fans in the Chandler camp & there are fans in the Ben camp. I don't think there are any in the both QBs at one time camp any more unless you're just begging to suck the coach's ass without even attempting to understand why it is he did what he did. So Jay trying to justify what Mike did without even thinking about it shows Jay is wrong. Then Jay belittled fans from both camps as though they were the same group, which they are not. So once again he is wrong on that account. I said which camp I was in & if Ben proved me wrong I would be the first one to admit it & without debating me, waited until I left the call & then accused me of being a finnicky flip flopper for being willing to admit I was wrong IF I am proven wrong, which I won't be. I will be proven right.

But Jay's right about one thing & one thing only. It's not about us. It's not about him. It's not even about Mike except that he has the responsibility on his shoulders to do the right thing. It's about the team. And where Jay misses the boat over & over & over again now for thirty years is no one cares more about the team than the fans do. NO ONE JAY! And that means if for no other reason, he owes us at least, that much respect.
