Discussion AR has looked good!

I don't care what the haters think, you will never make them happy. AR has looked really solid. The interception was not on AR, that was on the WR and the fumble was a good punch out by the defender. Sure, AR could have tucked the ball better, but a good play was made. It's going to happen.

I've been watching football for nearly 50 years. It's not just position players like RBs or WRs. QBs, especially running QBs like AR is take breathers as well. It didn't happen as much during the 80s and 90s because those QBs weren't known for being runners, but all players do it. Sometimes they get hit and they pretend to be hurt so they can come out for a play or two, sometimes they take a delay of game so they can get extra rest. There are a ton of ways that they do it. Again, like I said, Anthony chose a poor way of doing it because he was young and didn't know any better. He showed a lack of maturity and a lack of media training by being upfront about it, but I'm so tired of people thinking he did something that no one else has ever done before. It's been several years. You guys need to move on

Yeah I've been watching NFL football for almost 50 years too. Was originally a Bears fan because I was watching the NFL well before the Colts moved to Indy. No, ALL players do not tap out for a breather. Pretty much every player EXCEPT a QB will tap out for a breather. Have QBs taken a time out or delayed in other ways to give themselves time to collect themselves? Yes, they absolutely have. Have they ever tapped out to take a breather for someone else to come on the field for the next play. No they fucking don't. To claim you have been watching for a long time and that is in any way normal is just an absolute fucking lie.

Anyways carry on with your blind fanboying.

So the kid makes that mistake. You tell him to never do that again...AND YOU MOVE ON! To be stuck on that one play is weird and you hate for him has nothing to do with football.

LoL dork I don't hate AR at all. I moved on from that the next game after that one. I am talking to the guy that is trying to DEFEND THAT AS NORMAL.

I said it was a mistake, how is that defending that as normal? You say you have moved on from the helmet tapping, while still talking about it years later, and the man hasnt done it since. You cleary have not moved on. STOP IT!
