Not every enneffell QB has the luxury of being brought up to speed slowly like Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers were. Tim Couch was shoved into the starting lineup behind a sieve of a line on his second game by idiot Chris Palmer and promptly got the shit beat out of him. He was a mouthy punk who'd have probably washed out anyway but he deserved a better chance.
RG3 was setting the league on fire from the get go running an offense that maximized his skillset. Unfortunately he was undersized and it didn't take long before he was crunched and his career went in the shitter. For all the jerking off the league does about talent evaluation, with combines and sciency shit, it's still glorified guesswork and just damn luck of a player landing in the right situation. Tom Brady was a sixth round choice. Kurt Warner caught lightning in a bottle twice after knocking around arena leagues until he was older than 30.
The "Plug N' Play" mindset of some Execs/GM's on offensive line personnel drives me nuts, despite "cheap". It's what wrecked more high draft RBs and QBs than anything else. That and stopping testing for weed. The late Rasham Salaam laid testament to that route.

Seems to me it's a pretty strong argument. The Constitution explicitly gives State Legislatures the power to set the rules for elections. If the citizens send such a bunch of pussies to their legislatures that they sit on their thumbs while the executive branch and the bureaucracy run roughshod over their delegated powers then the most proximal solution is for the citizens to quit electing pussies or alternately tarring and feathering or possibly garroting some of those they have already elected.
An argument can be made that the courts should step in to remedy something clearly contrary to the Constitution but the silence of the bodies given the power that is being usurped is a high hurdle to clear.
Wimps produce deleterious consequences, the solution to which the court, with some justification, can lay at the feet of the voters.
Today is the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket. Yesterday the President issued a Presidential Proclamation declaring today the anniversary and inviting all Americans to commemorate his life and legacy for religious freedom:
Ig, I'm saying that if laws were broken, the PEOPLE need to be the first concern. Not which party encouraged or allowed it.
IT's pretty simple.
Which party encouraged and condoned, fire bombings, burning, beating, lootings, and MOAR.
Are we supposed to swallow that too, because DEMOCRATS ALLOWED IT???
--Are we supposed to swallow that too, because DEMOCRATS ALLOWED IT???--
Of course not, but the remedy will not be the courts in cities where those who are supposed to prosecute fire bombings etc approve of them. Even if the courts themselves were not corrupt, which they are [ see Mel's 9:22], if the people won't or can't replace corrupt pols at the ballot box then it is up to them to replace corrupt pols at the point of a gun.
That is the equation being forced on us by corrupt progs.
They don't think we'll take the dare. I don't think they'll stop until we have no other choice but to take it, at which point their eyes will become large and round just prior to closing.
"If the citizens send such a bunch of pussies to their legislatures that they sit on their thumbs while the executive branch and the bureaucracy run roughshod over their delegated powers then the most proximal solution is for the citizens to quit electing pussies"
Can't agree with this. The whole point of Rule By Law rather than Rule By Men is that we citizens don't have to only elect non-pussies to preserve constitutional rights. Not everybody can tell the difference based on campaign publicity.
This is one of those pointless conjectures, but except for Jim Plunkett's one bad postseason game against the worthless and far inferior Jets, the Redskins would not have won their 1982 Super Bowl as the Raiders' dismantling of them in the 1983 one demonstrated.
The commenter that amom quoted is making the same argument that was part of the prediction made by the the birther whom I linked a while ago. Prior to the SCOTUS trashing the Texas lawsuit Leo Donofrio, who filed his own lawsuit against Pennsylvania, noted that Texas was relying on a mangled plenary power argument that suggested the suspect states were usurping the plenary power(absolute) of the states’ legislative bodies. The simple counter argument is “not doing anything is actually doing something.”
The legislative inaction is tacit approval because the have plenary power.
When I read his summary, I posted my belief that the Texas lawsuit was pure cover so they could say “hey, we tried.” SCOTUS justices don’t worry about getting re-elected, Texas legislatures do.
That the courts won’t allow “standing” for anyone to sue for violations of the Constitutions, both state and federal, is the true disgrace at the moment, IMO. But it is part of a absolutely conspiracy between the legislative bodies any the judicial system and their game of hot potato.
I refuse to fix the grammar and other problems with my post. My Idevice wants to keep turning its auto-garbage back on despite my turning it off multiple times.
I am sympathetic to Iggy here in general...but: "An argument can be made that the courts should step in to remedy something clearly contrary to the Constitution but the silence of the bodies given the power that is being usurped is a high hurdle to clear. Wimps produce deleterious consequences, the solution to which the court, with some justification, can lay at the feet of the voters."
----
The voting in those states was not in accordance to the laws actually passed by those legislators. The laws were overridden or ignored by government employees.
That should have been corrected by the courts.
Sure, the Legislatures had the fallback ability to refuse to certify the counts, but that is a higher bar for wimps to swallow, as is demonstrated by none of them doing it.
Next up, Congress could correct it all.
Ha Ha Ha.
So in the end, GUS is right on this one, and WeThePeople will take it in our ends come Jan 20.
So if state bureaucrats ignore/violate the law, and the state legislatures do nothing, the courts should let obvious injustice stand because the 50.0001% of the electorate chose dumbasses/crooks to represent them?
That's insane.
And it seems like - correct me if I'm wrong - you think the courts should sit it out, even if the likely/inevitable result is violence and bloodshed?
It's not just the jobs go to China, but that they have the ability to implant items deleterious to our national security within the items they manufacture, such as electrical transformers, medical supplies, etc.
I guess if FULL COMMIES elect FASCISTS, and FASCISTS ignore our Constitutional rights, it's OK to violate the CONSTITUTION.
What purpose would the CONSTITUTION SERVE if it can be violated by ELECTED representatives.
Further, those who violate the CONSTITUTION are given MOAR power by the COURTS not acting.
ALL of this just adds to the notion, now the accepted rule of the road, that we simply have no laws that apply equally to all citizens.
We were a special place, back when we did.
In the modern era, this should have stopped dead with Lois Lerner.
Matt commented yesterday about what is done is done so now let's try to fix the election laws that permitted this so it does not happen again.
That too is a Ha Ha Ha notion since we swallowed that same elephant when we saw with our own eyes what the government had done with all those tools we gave them to spy on everybody. We were told "yes, that was bad, but when the FISA law comes up for renewal, we WILL FIX IT.
Crickets.
So why would they fix a voting system that gives Chavez & Putin and now Biden 99% of every vote?

"If the citizens send such a bunch of pussies to their legislatures that they sit on their thumbs while the executive branch and the bureaucracy run roughshod over their delegated powers then the most proximal solution is for the citizens to quit electing pussies"
Can't agree with this. The whole point of Rule By Law rather than Rule By Men is that we citizens don't have to only elect non-pussies to preserve constitutional rights. Not everybody can tell the difference based on campaign publicity.

This is one of those pointless conjectures, but except for Jim Plunkett's one bad postseason game against the worthless and far inferior Jets, the Redskins would not have won their 1982 Super Bowl as the Raiders' dismantling of them in the 1983 one demonstrated.

The commenter that amom quoted is making the same argument that was part of the prediction made by the the birther whom I linked a while ago. Prior to the SCOTUS trashing the Texas lawsuit Leo Donofrio, who filed his own lawsuit against Pennsylvania, noted that Texas was relying on a mangled plenary power argument that suggested the suspect states were usurping the plenary power(absolute) of the states’ legislative bodies. The simple counter argument is “not doing anything is actually doing something.”
The legislative inaction is tacit approval because the have plenary power.
When I read his summary, I posted my belief that the Texas lawsuit was pure cover so they could say “hey, we tried.” SCOTUS justices don’t worry about getting re-elected, Texas legislatures do.
That the courts won’t allow “standing” for anyone to sue for violations of the Constitutions, both state and federal, is the true disgrace at the moment, IMO. But it is part of a absolutely conspiracy between the legislative bodies any the judicial system and their game of hot potato.

I refuse to fix the grammar and other problems with my post. My Idevice wants to keep turning its auto-garbage back on despite my turning it off multiple times.
It wins.

I am sympathetic to Iggy here in general...but: "An argument can be made that the courts should step in to remedy something clearly contrary to the Constitution but the silence of the bodies given the power that is being usurped is a high hurdle to clear. Wimps produce deleterious consequences, the solution to which the court, with some justification, can lay at the feet of the voters."
----
The voting in those states was not in accordance to the laws actually passed by those legislators. The laws were overridden or ignored by government employees.
That should have been corrected by the courts.
Sure, the Legislatures had the fallback ability to refuse to certify the counts, but that is a higher bar for wimps to swallow, as is demonstrated by none of them doing it.
Next up, Congress could correct it all.
Ha Ha Ha.
So in the end, GUS is right on this one, and WeThePeople will take it in our ends come Jan 20.

Ig @ 9:42
So if state bureaucrats ignore/violate the law, and the state legislatures do nothing, the courts should let obvious injustice stand because the 50.0001% of the electorate chose dumbasses/crooks to represent them?
That's insane.
And it seems like - correct me if I'm wrong - you think the courts should sit it out, even if the likely/inevitable result is violence and bloodshed?

I guess if FULL COMMIES elect FASCISTS, and FASCISTS ignore our Constitutional rights, it's OK to violate the CONSTITUTION.
What purpose would the CONSTITUTION SERVE if it can be violated by ELECTED representatives.
Further, those who violate the CONSTITUTION are given MOAR power by the COURTS not acting.

ALL of this just adds to the notion, now the accepted rule of the road, that we simply have no laws that apply equally to all citizens.
We were a special place, back when we did.
In the modern era, this should have stopped dead with Lois Lerner.
Matt commented yesterday about what is done is done so now let's try to fix the election laws that permitted this so it does not happen again.
That too is a Ha Ha Ha notion since we swallowed that same elephant when we saw with our own eyes what the government had done with all those tools we gave them to spy on everybody. We were told "yes, that was bad, but when the FISA law comes up for renewal, we WILL FIX IT.
Crickets.
So why would they fix a voting system that gives Chavez & Putin and now Biden 99% of every vote?
Schazam.

I'm sure they are telling the truth NOW. Aren't you??? Our FULL COMMIES will praise them for being transparent.
