Fans hate on Brandon Tate, until someone else is back there dropping punts (and Adam Jones can't return punts when we are short at corner).... Fans hated on Dalton to the point of actually booing the kid at a benefit baseball game this past off season after he took us to the playoffs 4 years in a row....now that we don't have him they are hating on AJ who has started 2 games, winning the first one and taking the leagues #1 defense into overtime in their house in the thin atmosphere. Of course, if AJ can't play due to his left wrist, then he would be wonderful and the hate would go to Wenning.... why do those fans even root for this team. Every game.. all is lost, all is lost... why not go be a Steeler or Raven fan? This is our roster this year, why not cheer for them instead of criticizing them all the time?
Excellent post. Jungle Noise has been pretty quiet all season as everything was fine and dandy with most positions until Dalton got hurt. Now the natives are restless and we have a new QB to attack. It seems thread after thread seems to be filled with members positioning themselves on this or that side of McCarron now that Dalton cannot be criticized due to his injury.
Like it or not, we have at least 2 games left of what was a pretty good year. It's disappointing that if we don't win our first playoff game that the rest of the offseason will be filled with hate for McCarron and whatif's about Andy Dalton and the playoff game he didn't play in.
