Horns247 Board

There's plenty of people who aren't active posters on the site but upvote and downvote posts, it doesn't make them children. What makes one a child is acting like you've been wronged and calling people babies and telling them to be men, not passively participating in an internet message board and choosing not to respond to threats.

Why should he retire? Because he hasn't been immediately signed? That makes absolutely zero sense.

Wouldn't retiring just further the idea that he isn't willing to work? Is that really what you want from the face of the University?

It's black and white that you acted like a baby and told people to be a man because you got your feelings hurt that people downvoted you for saying Vince should retire. I understand it just fine, telling someone to be a man is not just a threat, it's childish and stupid.

As for your argument, I don't think giving up makes any sense. First of all, if he can earn a paycheck, he should. Secondly, it just furthers people's perceptions that he doesn't work hard and is living off of his college accomplishments. Why give people that satisfaction?

How many people are members of this board? How many are active posters? The fact that you post a lot while others choose to express their opinions through the upvote and downvote feature does not make you more of a man and less of a baby than any of them.

I clearly disagree with your argument, about VY, but it's the way you have gone about stating things so matter of factly (telling everyone that they "know you are right") and then calling people out for disagreeing with you that is my issue.

As for offering nothing, what does saying "VY has made his bed" and then calling people babies for downvoting you offer?

I know plenty about VY, I was at the majority of games he played in college and have met him a few times since. You want him to retire, but say I think he should accept being a scrub? Retiring after 6 years and not trying to regain his reputation is accepting being a scrub. Trying to work his way back is the only way for him to prove himself. I (and obviously the people who downvoted you) see no honor or benefit to him or the University by quitting before he's 30.

I'm just baffled you're still defending yourself. The only two things dumber than your original post may be (1) the fact that you're shocked that people down voted you, and (2) your delusional belief that you're entitled to an explanation from people that disagree.

Let me bottom line this for you, if you talk crap about one of the greatest Longhorns of all time, you're going to get down voted and you're going to deserve it. And you are not entitled to any explanation from anyone. You need to just move on.

So because he expected a hall of fame career and it hasn't worked out that way he should quit and not earn a very good paycheck? He should quit and not try to get his career back on track? How nice of you to decide that a guy shouldn't earn a boat load of money just because he hasn't lived up to your expectations.

I expected to be CEO of my company by now, I'm not, so I'm going to quit. Sure, I make good money and could keep making enough money to set my family and all my charities up nicely, but everything hasn't gone exactly as planned, so I'm out.

I think you think that people only downvoted you because you said something bad about VY. That's partially it, but more importantly is that you said something ludicrous and then called out everyone who disagreed with you. Nobody other than you thinks he should retire.

This isn't us not acknowledging the perception of him, this is arguing that a) the perception is not entirely waranted and more importantly b) retiring because of it doesn't really make a lot of sense.

I offer reasons why what you say is both insulting to the majority of people on this board and based on no logic whatsoever and you respond with insults.

You're through with the baby talk, but you have to have the last word. Strange.

I have some significant experience with how lousy bosses can adversely affect the careers of other people. I was in banking for over 20 years and two of my last three bosses were sociopathic nut jobs who are now serving sentences in federal prisons for defrauding banks.

Fisher would have been fired years earlier without Vince, but somehow Fisher's senseless ragging on Vince carries more weight than Vince's performances on the field under adverse circumstances. Anybody who watched the last minute march to beat the Giants last year or watched Vince blowing up New England's defense the next week can see that he has leadership and comeback gifts that very few have in the NFL. He has one off game against Seattle and he is done? He has never done anything to compare with some of Tony Romo's epic failures such as Detroit last year.

Unfortunately for Vince he managed to tweak the nose of the NFL coaching fraternity with numb nuts Fisher.
All Vince needs is one head coach who cares more about winning than Jeff Fisher's antics.

If the Texans had a clue they would pick up the guy who cleaned their clock every time they played him and heal the idiocy of passing on him in the draft. Can you imagine Vince leading his hometown team against the Ravens last year? But no, lets keep the journeyman that no one ever heard of outside of Houston who has no championship or comeback credentials. Brilliant aggy thinking....

How do you explain Andy Reid letting him go? That wasn't because Fisher said so. Vince is essentially the same player that Vick is but Reid would rather have Trent Edwards. Also Reid saw more from a convicted felon in Vick than Vince.

At some point you have to wonder why David Garard and Kyle Orton are getting chances and Vince isn't. Hell even Tebow can be had for a fourth but Vince with really no leverage whatsoever can't get a team to sign him on the cheap

much obliged ha ha

I'm a woman and I down voted you twice!

Your comments are juvenile and you absolutely know nothing about Vince except what trash has been written about him and that seems what you want to believe.

Go find another website. Your stupid comments are not wanted on here!

Thanks. You seem very smart.
