    Who said Gase is God?

    I see your "wait & see" attitude and raise you a "so far, so good".

    There were at least half a dozen threads started when Gase was hired and probably twice as many since then that probably have 5,000 posts in them discussing Adam Gase. If you don't realize there is a huge number of them that contain nothing but high praise for the guy, often with no basis other than wishful thinking, then this discussion is futile.

    I'll stick with "wait and see" while your optimism leads you down the "so far, so good" path. I don't see a lot of good yet, although it would be unfair to judge anyone by last night's performance. Results that count are still a few weeks away.

    Tell you what - Instead of you attempting to categorize what I have to say here or my attitude (which you've failed miserably at so far), why not deal with the words I actually have used. Take issue with anything I've said here and tell me how I'm wrong but be specific and objective. Convince me that I'm looking at the facts wrong about everything Gase has accomplished in the NFL.

    I did "deal with the words I (you) actually have used".
    All I had to do was type "Gase" & Ralebird in the search bar.

    If you had a wait & see attitude there wouldn't be 10 solid pages of results.

    Once again, if there is something I wrote that you believe is factually wrong or improperly gleaned, show it. Your characterizations fail to prove your assertions that I have not taken a wait and see attitude because you can't. If you think that's not accurate, show me with specifics. If I type "Gase" and "Acad23" how many pages of comments will I find?

    Fer chrissakes....there's ten solid pages of you NOT taking a "wait & see" attitude.
    The only wait & see is you waiting to see how you can throw out negative comments.

    Keep talking shit about Gase...I don't care.

    One more time. I am not responsible for the inferences you draw, only for the comments I make; I can't interpret them for you. Obviously, you can't either.

    If there is anything I have written that you take issue with just make your case here. Be specific, objective and don't edit it to suit your purposes, whatever the hell they are.

    The comments you make are biased toward the negative.

    That's your way to wait and see.

    I have a wait & see attitude towards our quarterback.

    I don't constantly bring up his failings from last year.

    What the fuck are you looking for?

    I never said you were a liar.
    I never said you were wrong.
    I never said Gase is God

    I said you throw shade at Adam Gase.

    You saying you don't?

    First it was "negative," now it's "throwing shade," what's next? You can read anything you want into anything I write, that doesn't mean you're right. How about you let me characterize my posting and you characterize your own? You're either unable to explain yourself coherently or you're just here to be argumentative. I don't need to play your stupid games.

    Did you see this: "If there is anything I have written that you take issue with just make your case here. Be specific, objective and don't edit it to suit your purposes, whatever the hell they are?" If you cannot understand what it means, that's your problem. If you do understand it, quit beating around the bush and support your claims.

    So, you got nothin'? Or you are just unwilling or unable to support your statements. So be it.

    Yeah, Ralebird and Acad got into it a little today. guys put the pads on and tempers get high. Obviously we don’t want to see any injuries, but it happens every year at this time. It’s football. At the end of the day, we’re all wearing the same sticker. Next?

    His house could be on fire and he wouldn’t believe it if you burned your hand on it to prove it to him.

    This nonsense started when I said you never miss an opportunity to knock Gase.

    You assert that you've had a wait and see approach concerning Adam Gase, which implies keeping ones biases and opinions to oneself.

    I did a cursory search and found just the opposite.


    I think this sums it up nicely-
