Its all about DENARD

Submitted by diclemeg on
How sweet it is...... Remember me ?  I'm the guy who since day one has said Denard Robinson is a total gamer, and the guy you want with the ball in your hands at crunch time, and it is he who should be talked about, even moreso than Forcier. I even went on to say that he'll be our starting qb this season at least 50% of the time, and I got chastised pretty good here, leading to insults.  I was told he cannot throw, he only completes 50% of passes, etc, etc, yet I maintained that in our new offense with young players, it'll be Denard who takes over, not Forcier.  I said to trust your eyes, and watch Denard's films.

My praise of Denard really drew out alot of dickheads on this forum, and you all know who you are. You know, the same ones who will be saying they knew all along how great Denard was gonna be.

I will say it again for those of you with selective memory and those who still have Forcier's shlong in their mouths.. ITS ALL ABOUT DENARD, and remember, it was DICLEMEG who has been telling you so since MARCH.

Now maybe you can tell me who will win and place in the 3rd race at Pimlico.

I swear I had a conversation with a buddy of mine in the pre-internet days about whether or not Eric Hipple was THE MAN.
I can only hope this one ends better....

Since March, I simply stated that you all should be thinking about Denard just as much as Forcier, and perhaps more. But the small minds here could simply not do so, due to cognitive dissonance generated by the bombardment of Forcier fluff. It really was quite pathetic.

I have a good eye for talent, and I saw it in Robinson, enough to GO OUT ON A LIMB like I did... I got ripped and insulted pretty good for it.

There was no other way to deliver the information through to the derelicts here, without offending them while they were so high on the Forcier hog. I like Forcier, and he will be good. But I will say it again.....

ITS ALL ABOUT DENARD.

denard is pretty explosive(at least on the highlight reel) with his running ability, but with faster athletes on defense if he can't keep them honest enough with his passing abilities and a sub 50% career completion rate at high school doesn't suggest it'll get much better at the college level. won't defenses just stack the box and force him to try and beat them with the pass? that's why i asked in a previous post "is DR worthy of all the praise for his passing abilities or was the expectations about his passing abilities so low that if he can just hit the side of a moving mountain it was better than expected"?

...can play tricks on you. the first time I saw Brady play I was all over the Henson bandwagon.a week later Brady,I swear it was one week,Brady's footwork,poise,and accuracy had performed a 180,night and day,yin and yang,and I was a Brady disciple.

fast forward 2 years and going into the draft I was praying the Lions would trade up and pick Brady b4 he was snatched in the first round...we know how that ended.

this past NFL draft I swore Harrell of texas tech was a "can't miss"...anyone know what team drafted him??

sometime ur right, sometime ur wrong.

Denard was not generating the excitement here like Forcier does, and I thought it was actually quite offensive, after seeing Denard play. The dude is lightning in a bottle.

because it is what i see...some see it better than others. supposedly chitown saw it too.

i tend to look closer than others. robinson is gonna be great, far more than forcier..and after robinson was signed, the punks here were still jerking off forcier.

Crap. I come in here and read a post that basically proclaims Denard the starter. I guess I missed the opener.

I hope Denard ends being great and the second coming of Dennis Franklin of Michael Taylor, but STFU until he gets named the starter.

No but...but we are picking our hotel rooms for the fourth...I tend to like the quiet of Eagles Crest...but the wife wants to be closer to the action and not have to drive to get on a shuttle bus...does she care about who is starting at QB...naw...just making sure we get into AA early enough on Friday so that she can shop all day at all the stores they don't have in Canada...go figure

I went back and read your posts. No one crapped on you because you had the temerity to say you liked Denard's game better than Tate's.

It was the fact that you made absurd predictions based on watching highlight films and advanced meaningless claims like "Denard can flat-out play." What does that mean?

You also asked who you would like to have the ball in "crunch time." Your answer: Denard. But that is possibly the least firm conclusion you can draw from a highlight film, unless you are sure the highlights come from crunch times in games.

Which brings us to today. You might have been able to make some sort of humble point about the fact that you had always thought Denard was the ballz. But instead, you were a douche.

Well, it would have been tough, I'm not gonna lie. That's why I said "might." In thinking about it some more, given that the negative feedback you got on those earlier posts was due more to your tone than to your claim, maybe it would have been a bad idea to draw people's attention to them, I don't know. But let's try this:

"I would just like to say that I am pumped for the season to begin. I always liked Denard as a player and I feel like he and Tate (and Nick) will bler bler bler."

Then, perhaps elaborate on what you always loved about Denard.

Frankly, I'm not sure why you would have wanted to do this in the first place, esp. in a diary; in other words, it seems like you really just wanted to say "I told you (dickheads) so," and if that's true, then you're probably right. There's no way you could do that without getting negbanged.

So, in the future, maybe just resist the urge to say I told you so.

well i couldnt post to mgoboard, for i guess i got so many negatives for a post on barwis and denard that i got blocked somehow.

im not one to fluff or kiss ass or not tell it like it is. this is about talent evaluation and returning the program to greatness.

its not about trying to APPEASE everyone else, and try to get "mgopoints"

i went out on that limb in march, at a bad time no less, with the forcier hype in full force. even brian has on the home page the thing about the "the ability to destroy planet..forcier".

when denard was signed, these retards here were "meh", and kept going on about forcier. i had to point it out, that the focus at the time should be on denard just as much if not more, for hes earned it.

Couple more thoughts:

- If you're getting a huge number of negatives for your posts, such that you have certain posting priviliges revoked, maybe consider changing your tactics.

- Your posts were certainly not fluffy or ass kissy, so mission accomplished there, but "returning the program to greatness"? I'm just not sure you have a whole lot of influence there.

- See, the Brian banner quote is just kind of a play on words. Nerds heart Star Wars and all that.

- I think your use of the word "retards" might be a symptom of the larger issue you have. Consider replacing with a word like "bonhommes" or "gentlefolk."

I'm like Henry Fucking Higgins here.

anyone was ever "meh" about Denard. There were several posts that were very excited about his speed. His 100m times were posted more than once. There was a a pseudo-debate about whether Denard or Tate were faster (though I'm not sure why, I think everyone can accept that Denard is faster). Talk about Denard being so fast that he could just teleport directly to the end zone.

If I recall correctly, it was a humorous mocking of one overly-emphatic fan of Forcier, who claimed that he was "just about as fast" as Denard. That "pseudo-debate" is actually pretty good evidence that the MGoBlog community as a whole was not simply "meh" over Denard.

It seems that a majority believe that Forcier's polish, and early enrollment outweigh Denard's speed and athleticism. But I guess that diclemeg is right that we all just root for Denard's demise...

You may be right DR may start, who knows?
There are other sites,like (GBMW) that say DR needs some work.
NOW I don't know shit and I don't make a million dollars to coach football.The most I ever made...I think was 3200 dollars per season.
I saw the latest video of practice and I agree with GBMW.
Take a look... Throws off of back foot. Needs work on his throwing mech.With that said,he is a good athlete and is going to be a great player.Give him some time.

...some dude wrote a diary insulting almost everyone here because we aren't 100% convinced who the best QB will be and then he got negbanged past Alpha Centauri (which, BTW, Galileo did not discover)? Because I do.

dude you can't say "I told you so" before we've actually seen either one play a game.

Also to say it in the most D-bag possible way just shows that you couldn't care less about Michigan's QB situation you just wanna hear yourself talk (or at least the internet equivalent of that phrase.)

It seems like you're almost rooting AGAINST Forcier in some of your posts. I'll be happy if either one of them succeeds in this offense. What difference does it make who succeeds? I just wanna win.

diclemeg

August 24th, 2009 at 11:55 AM ^

i just wanna win too, but not privy to drinking the forcier kool-aid. forcier gonna be really good, too. but i thought then, and still do now, that denard is a sublime talent and perfectly fits our offense.

MrVociferous

August 24th, 2009 at 2:59 PM ^

No one is rooting against Robinson. We all want the best QB to play so we have the best chance of winning. Whether its Tate, Denard, Sheridan, or a clump of mud that has awesome passing and scrambling skills, if they are the best option, then by all means, we will cheer for them.

This comment is unbelievably frustrating to read. After what the team went through last year, and us fans, you ACTUALLY believe that 90 percent of us are rooting AGAINST Robinson. Your stupidity and immaturity just amazes me to the fullest. You're not a fan at all, leave whatever dignity you have left at the door, and get the fuck out of here.

"...those who still have Forcier's shlong in their mouths..."

Fair enough. I for one will cease my fellating of Forcier, provided you cease your reverse cowgirling and rusty tromboning of Denard.

I wonder if I should feel bad about the strange enjoyment I am having in negbanging diclemeg into oblivion. There is this small voice, likely that of my mother, telling me that he probably just needs a friend and how will he ever change if you treat him just like everyone else...but then...I read his posts and continue neg banging him all the way down the thread and when I am done I feel strangely satisfied, and yet know deep down that I probably shouldn't. Ahh well.

So this thread is where all the action is?

It has been a while since we have had a glorious meltdown on Mgoblog, too much fun.

Among the man stupid assertions made, I am confused as to why we are supposedly not allowed to be excited about both players?

I am excited about Forcier(no schlongs in my mouth) and I am excited about Denard. Is this acceptable or am I forced to choose one to root for?
