A husky philosophy question?

I don't have anything against calling out individuals. Actually it would be more accurate to say I don't mind pointing out flaws or shortcomings of individuals. It doesn't have to be a blanket condemnation of the player.
I never have got on board with the hardcore dislike and mockery of certain players. I understand where it comes from though. Locker was propped up as a savior by most of the doogs, the DM.c admin, and the husky honks and they never let go of it even after he was exposed for what he was (a big, fast meathead with a scatter arm and scatter brain). Jordan White-Frisbee was a talented guy who turned into a bloated big mouth who couldn't back up his talk. ASJ is a guy I still like that has become a target because he seems to have come out soft and out of shape this year when this should have been his springboard season to the NFL. Pretty inexcusable.
I have mocked Johnny Durocher and Carl Bonnell pretty mercilessly. These were two underwhelming talents at QB who DM.c and the honks kept pushing to replace Stanback. Kim made comments like "Stanback is a great athlete, Bonnell and Durocher are better QBs". This continued unabated even after both of those guys got their shot and showed they couldn't hold Stanback's jock.
Most recently I've poked some fun at John Ross and Shaq "predator" Thompson. They're both great talents who haven't (or hadn't...Shaq is pretty damn close actually) earned all the praise that has been heaped on them. Ross himself was supposed to be worth two wins this year according to one doog. Of course we're all waiting for him to make a play against someone other than Idaho St. -
The only player I ever criticized was Casey Paus. I still don't understand how Gilby named him the starter when half the time his passes didn't go beyond the line of scrimmage. He threw sideways and it was easy for the DL to simply bat the passes down! Gibly claimed something like he needed him to "run the offense."

I can't stand the "don't bash the kids, they are trying." If they can't take it, they should play football somewhere where they won't happen.

It's not about the players in this case numbnuts. It's about the dumb fucks lapping up whatever hype the DM.c guys heap on young players and running with it whether they've seen it themselves or not.puppylove_sugarsteel said:

This thread is worthless without NupeDawg.

I would not have done that.TierbsHsotBoobs said:We would have moved Lockner to safety in 2009 to make room for Price at QB.
We've hated other individuals over the years too (Ossai, Garcia, and ASJ quickly come to mind).
Does that answer your question?
But yeah, there's plenty of criticism of players here. The difference is that player criticism here is inherently criticism of recruiting, development and/or coaching decisions to play said player. Other places player criticism is to distract from or outright silence coaching criticism.

I still hate Massey and Hurst...and. the Huskies were actually good then.

Oops, I meant 2010. I wouldn't have burned Price's redshirt in 2009.dnc said:
