As I said in several posts I would have opened the thread regardless of the head injury that occurred with 2 minutes remaining in the third quarter. My decision to open the thread was actually made after the play in which he and Brady failed to connect on what would have been a sure touchdown, after that play Amendola limped noticeably, .
You said that in response to being called insensitive. You should reread your OP. Most of it copied here:
Before you tell me how that hit was illegal and blaming Amendola is dumb, let me just say this – I don’t care! One of the things that made Wes Welker a great player was his intelligence and the wherewithal to protect himself from taking those type of hits, Amendola ran 100 MPH and it was as idiotic as throwing a glass against the concrete along with having a similar result. My excuses for Danny Amendola have flown south with the birds,
Your OP clearly was a reaction to the concussion and your predomimant point was he was wrong to get concussed.
after that he also had at least 1 drop and for the day he had 2 receptions for 0 yards, the week prior against the Bengals he played in just 38 of a possible 63 snaps and he was targeted 9 times yet had 4 receptions. On the season Amendola has played in 146 of a possible 449 offensive snaps for 32%. Between 10-12 offensive snaps came after the head injury, why would I open a thread based on 13 snaps, that is just a ridiculous accusation and the fact you continue to respond to my posts as if I created the OP based on 2% of the offensive snaps this season is the issue here, you’re trying to make this about me being this person who is blaming a player for suffering a head injury but I am not, Danny Amendola had an injury that either caused him to miss or play at a diminished level for the 436 offensive snaps played prior to the head injury that is 98% of the snaps Andy, so you, Ivan, DaBruinz and some others need to stop making this about Brady6 being insensitive of a head injury and open your eyes to the fact that 98% of the snaps occurred before that head injury and Danny Amendola was injured for EVERY SINGLE one of them point, blank, period.
It has nothing to do with insensitivity it has to do with you thinking his concussion was his fault.
I don’t agree with that, but even if it was the case it doesn’t diminish their play which was the case for Amendola who was targeted 13 times resulting in 6 receptions, 2 drops, 55 receiving yards and 0 touchdowns since his return against the Bengals. Those statistics do not merit being the 27th highest paid receiver in the entire NFL, so I guess my thinking he is injured still is wishful thinking because the alternative is we overpaid for a subpar player.
Which is it? You want him to be a ******* when it serves your argument, and you want him to stink when that does.
You happen to be wrong about both.
If you do not feel that conditioning and weight training does not play a factor in injuries you likely have never played a sport or been to a gym,
As I said comments like this make you lose credibility. I never even hinted at a comment like that.
I did not say it would make you bullet proof but added muscle mass does protect athletes from injuries and proper training in terms of flexibility does prevent groin injuries, hamstring pulls, etc. Those are proven scientific facts, maybe it would have help Danny in particular areas maybe it would not have but when a player is taking the field less than 50% of the time over the past 3 years I would say it is worthwhile to consider a change in his offseason training regimen which would incorporate more training specific to injury prevention. Do you disagree, and feel what Danny is currently doing is putting him in the optimal position to succeed during the season?
Please show where your knowledge is coming from that says Amendola does not train properly? Again, you have a grudge to bear so you have made it up that he doesn't train properly with absolutely no knowledge.
Your argument is now:
Amendola got hurt.
Training can prevent injury.
Therefore it is Amendolas fault he got hurt because he didn't train.
I don’t understand what you’ve written here? Are you suggesting that I should just sit back and watch people like Ivan and other despair me across this forum with false accusations such as I said to “let Welker leave during free agency and make the slot position less of a focus” when I was not even a member here when the Welker situation played out, or let them center their response around me as forum member instead of providing tangible information to negate my OP, or just watch this entire thread be centered around and injury that affect 2% of the team’s offensive snaps this season?
Your OP amounted to "Im mad at Amendola because he got a concussion". That was wrong enough but had you stopped there you would not have added layers of silliness.
How exactly did I lose credibility because it occurs to me I am positioning facts to confirm the already establish opinions of a players critics
You have no facts, you are making things up and calling them fact.
The particular point you made that sacrifices all credibility was that you believe Amendola's offseason workout program is deficient when you have absolutely no knowledge of what it is, and that fact that you are saying that in a thread created because of a concussion.
You have every right to continue to make wild guesses about things you know nothing about and say them as if you have certainty, but after a while no one will take your opinion seriously.
, and others are manipulating information to meet their agenda’s or disrespecting this forum by being insulting or demeaning towards me as a poster simply because they disagree with my position on Danny Amendola.
The "Oh poor me" posts are useless to me.
Not sure how someone disagreeing with you disrespects the forum though.
If you feel tortured you should cut back posting or start being open minded.
I have yet to see you take any disagreement with anything you say and respond with anything that doesn't amount to you are right and there is no doubt.
Outside of some heat of the moment response I have responded with facts, Amendola came in with the reputation amongst his critics for being injury prone,
I think you misunderstand what a fact is.
during his time hear he has appeared on every injury report (for the groin injury) and played in just 32% of the team’s offensive snaps due to injury.
He is 6 weeks into a 6 year contract.
My credibility is in place solidly those who are making arguments around 2% of the offensive snaps,
Again where you lose credibility. No one is making any argument based on 2% of the snaps. You are using that strawman to say you didn't say what you did.
ignoring actualities or just spewing BS to continue a pissing match are the ones who’s credibility will be held in question
I agree, which is why I told you that you are losing credibility.
, no matter if the other 5-7 forum members who align with their agenda like their posts or not., creditability has and always will be associated with truth and reality and there is no debating that Amendola has done exactly what his critics said he would do which is be injured during his tenure to this point.
Then if you believe that say that.
Don't 'project his stats for the season' pretend to know his workout intensity, blame a concussion on him, and act as if football players are supposed to drop to the fetal position if they are ever in danger of being hit, etc, etc, etc.
If you have a valid argument to dispute that please feel free to present it and I will look at with a fair and even mentality
I have and you don't.
but if you’re just going to keep spinning the same crap and then calling my creditability into question as some public power play to imply strength your wasting both of are times,
What are you talking about?
I think you need to stop taking this board so seriously. You seem to be extremely worried about how your reputation is affected by what someone else posts.
I'm telling you what I read. If you don't want to hear it, just ignore me. I cannot waste my time with someone who thinks they are developing a reputation in the school cafeteria with how tough they are in their posts.
because I will continue to respond with percentages, raw numbers, publications and reports that discredit any spin you attempt to make,
Perfect statement. WHATEVER anyone says will send you on a mission to create something that doesnt apply and pretend it does, such as the workout debacle.
this is not a political debate, Danny Amendola is injured he has been since week 2 of the preseason that is a FACT. So why don’t you just stop and accept the fact your wrong on this and that Amendola has not done anything through week 6 to prove his critics incorrect.
Because I am not wrong, and you have now reached the point where in order to argue you are making up what other people think and then telling them the opinions you assign to them are wrong.
You really have not responded to a single comment that I have made in this thread in this diatribe other than my pointing out that you are losing credibility, yet you argued against dozens of things I never said,
Perhaps we can set up a forum just for you where you can make up thoughts that other people think and then argue how stupid they are.
