You're aware that past performances don't really reflect on his current level of play, right?
Gee, no. What a concept.

Well then if you're aware of it, you must also be aware that your position is completely nonsensical. Or perhaps you aren't.
His position is fine. Even if Hobbs were sucking like a new and improved Hoover in Philly, which he's not, that wouldn't automatically translate to his play in a Patriots uniform.
Hobbs has been terrible in Philly this season. I'm not even sure how you could argue otherwise.
:confused2:
Probably because I've watched the games.
Right. If you had, you'd know what basically everyone else knows: that he sucks. Whether we'd be able to get anything out of him that Philly hasn't is another matter entirely.
Great. Thanks for verifying what I'd thought. You haven't watched the games.
Yeah, okay Deus. Whatever you say. The lone voice of reason strikes again!
The irony of you posting that about anyone is not lost. You've become the captain of the lame one-line bash. It's been odd to see, too, since the team has been winning despite its many flaws, and you'd be expected to be basking in that glory rather than just sniping. In this case, however, you're just spouting nonsense which, unfortunately, has also become more common for you of late.
The analyst noticed that the main problem was with the safeties in that Titans game, for example. If you'd watched the game, perhaps you might have done the same.
Since you've ordained me the "captain of the lame one-line bash," I'll just say it's a wonder why you have the reputation on this board that you do. I almost wish I could say that this was an aberration, but unfortunately your attitude toward other posters on this forum has remained a constant the entire time I've been here. And I'll leave it at that.
You should have left it over a month ago, when we first had a discussion similar to this. You were in the wrong then, and you're in the wrong now. What's funny is that PWP is a very pro-Patriots kind of poster, yet you busted his ass about something you got wrong, and then chose to double down on your mistake with me, rather than just acknowledge your error.
See, that's the funny thing, Deus. You have the luxury of never being wrong, because you can summarily dismiss anyone else's opinion to the contrary. You've had this very interaction with numerous posters here, many of whom now simply ignore you or avoid interacting with you because you it's the same thing every time, like clockwork. Since this keeps happening to you, you would think a modicum of self-awareness would cause you to examine your behavior. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be in the cards.

I'd apologize to PWP if it came off like I was "busting his ass," which was certainly unintentional. As to the subject of Hobbs, my opinion of his talents is not informed solely or even that substantially by the Titans game (compounded by poor safety play). I know you're incapable of accommodating diverging opinions so we'll leave it there.
Now, you're entitled to your opinion, but such a line is not exactly accommodating to those "diverging opinions". That's fine. I've used similar language in the past. I just try not to be hypocritical about it, particularly in the very thread I've written it.
Hobbs was a very tough kid. He was a good return man but his coverage skills were in question. His 5,9 size didnt help either.
Do you really think BB would give up a solid #2 corner and a exellent return man for 2 5th round picks? Because that's what they got for Hobbs.
He should not be starting in this league
