If you don't think the only way anyone can understand football is to have to play it professionally, why condescendingly state someone hasn't played football before?
So YOU have never played football before? Just like Joelist? Huh. Then why bring it up?
And they ALL said there are audibles on "EVERY. SINGLE. PLAY."? Cool. I don't believe you, but cool.
I didn't attack anyone. I asked a question. One in which your response was to attack me, so by your own logic you just admitted defeat. Thanks.
If anything, YOU were the one that started attack the messenger when you condescendingly stated that Joelist never played football ever.
To be super clear and address your post (in order)
- The poster I called out was snarking at another poster asking for something preposterous and then calling someone a troll for not being able to provide it.
- Your statement about playing professional football makes no sense on any level in this discussion and came out of left field. It's crazy talk. I have no idea what your second statement means or the purpose of it.
Furthermore, someone one who has played - or spoken to someone who has played football to any depth - would understand the concept of audibles being available on basically every down, which was the guy I was referring to's basis of argument. Therefor, I pointed out that he's never played the game or knows anyone who has because if he had he would know that information and not have made the snarky, stupid comment that he did. If he has no idea what he's talking about, he shouldn't be just blasting out BS at other posters asking for them to provide some nonsense proof and then calling them a troll if they don't.
- You did NOT ask if I had ever played football in general. You specifically asked "Which NFL team did you play offense for?" - end post. To which I answered no, but then gave personal information as to where I personally know and have spoken to actual players. Now, for some reason you think you asked me if I had ever played football in general. The answer to that is YES. I answered your question about NFL football and you tried to put words in my mouth. I'll big brother you all day if you're coming up with that kind of nonsense, kid.
Furthermore (again), I also pointed out that someone does not actually HAVE to have played football to understand it on a to a competent level when it comes to the subject matter. If he knew someone who does/did, he would probably know about audibles and not just assume they don't exist. Or, he could have researched them on his own. If he would have, he wouldn't have said what he said.
- YES, the QB has options on virtually every single play. No coach sends a guy out there with one absolute thing to do. They have to be able to change things as they see them and different variables are presented.
^ To double check this.... I literally JUST got off the phone with one of my life long best friends who was a 2 time all American DT in college football at the University of Indianapolis. He said that YES, every play and formation has audibles available for the QB to be able to reroute or change to given what the defense is doing.
^ To triple check THAT I called another buddy who was a 4 year starter DE at Mount St. Joe in Cincinnati. He said the exact same thing.
- You absolutely attacked me and said nothing more than that in your first post to me. Nor did you address anything I had written in the post you were attacking me from.
I snarked back at a guy in kind to how he spoke to someone else... then provided information to his point (you did not do this). I snarked back at you (and provided information to your points). THAT is wayyyyy different than what you did. Which was just to ask me literally "Which NFL team did you play offense for?". Which was a snarky, sarcastic, douchey comment attacking me and addressing ZERO of my points. For you to now claim that you didn't attack me is so little kid, it's hilarious.
Lastly, I did snark back at both of you... AND addressed your points.
