http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=26843.0While other people were dismissing clifton smith as camp fodder, and penciling dexter jackson in as the starting kr/pr...I was saying that we should be starting our undrafted free agent instead of our 2nd rounder...I knew jackson was gonna bust...and I knew I saw something in smith
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=30221.0A few weeks into the season, when jackson was playing terrible but people were making excuses for him, I argued that the better returner was on our bench...sure enough, a couple of weeks later he was replaced by smith who ended up being a pro bowler
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=23025.0Telling it like it is about jackson right after he was drafted
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=31653.0One of the many times I called gaines adams a bust and had to argue with everybody..I had been calling adams a bust since the very beginning...and now people finally agree with me that gaines adams just wasn't a very good pro football player, and probably was never going to be one...R.I.P
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=25552.msg542606#msg542606While people were saying bryant was over the hill and most were saying he probably won't even make the team, I was calling for him to be a starter, because I could tell he was still a baller....just one of many examples of me saying this
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=32221.0Everybody knows I hated garcia after the 2007 season when he started taking the happy feet too far, and his arm strength really started falling...I was calling him out all year, but still had to deal with a bunch of rabid fans who were saying that I was delusional...well sure enough, it's now widely excepted that garcia was NOT good in his 2nd year, and that he was the reason we didn't make the playoffs
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=43664.0People thought we were going to do great last season before it started...I saw differently in the pre-season games..people said the pre-season doesn't matter....well, either it was just a coincidence...or I was right...given my track record of being phenomenal at scouting talent, I think it's the latter.
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=42659.msg910189#msg910189Before last year people were saying that caddy was done for, not only because of his injuries, but they were claiming he just wasn't good....They were saying he wouldn't even make the team...I argued on and on with people...they brought up his average, and I had to educate them on why his stats were effected....This is one of the many examples where I called for caddy to be the starter, and sure enough it happened, and now the consensus among everybody is that caddy is truly the best RB on our roster, and his career is not finished.
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=37808.msg795673#msg795673Again...when ward was signed, I was saying that ward sucked and was only good with the giants because of his o-line and sharing the load with brandon jacobs...I was arguing with people all the time about this...they were convinced ward was our best back...sure enough, people now agree that ward is trash
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=37644.msg792467#msg792467Again
http://www.pewterreport.com/forum/index.php?topic=40575.msg856708#msg856708knew from the start our 7th round pick was going to beast....most people agreed, but yeah....you could tell stroughter had "it"
So, basically, my point is...with all this back and forth with the ruud business...I just want to prepare the people arguing with me that ruud is good, that two years down the road, when the consensus among buc fans is that ruud is trash, you can remember that you were one of the many people that have argued with me in the past about players, only to be on the wrong side of it. You've been warned.
P.S...ruud sucks
