[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 449736, member: 2426"] In most internet forums it is true that people on extreme sides of issues post the most and post the loudest. As I stated before I don't know of many if any posters who say he can do no wrong. I do argue against the CPJ sucks comments, but it is because most of those comments don't appear to have any actual merit: [LIST] [*]CPJ's offense can only gain 3-4 yards in any play -- Well GT has consistently been close to the top of the explosive plays category, so I don't see how any objective analysis could arrive at that conclusion. [*]CPJ doesn't care if GT beats UGA(A stocker at Walmart told me this, and that he won't watch GT football until CPJ leaves because of it) -- I have no idea where he got that idea. [*]CPJ is a jerk and doesn't want to interact with fans/media -- I have met him a couple of times(just at meet and greets so no real personal interaction) and he was very nice. There are plenty of posts in this thread citing actual personal interactions with fans in which he is much more than cordial. Where does this belief come from? The pressers on youtube used to not be available to the fans. They are basically just after practice and a way for the press to get statements so they can report in the evenings. The press asks questions, he give answers. He is probably tired and ready to get back to his office to continue working. If the belief comes from our "flagship" station, then those who believe that should understand that they are not listening to sports radio. They are listening to blowhards who act like the bad parts of Twitter. They drive a narrative that CPJ is a jerk and they ask questions with the intention of making it appear that he is: "What/How long will it take for GT to be competitive with the middle of the SEC?" If you listen to CPJ on national media or media from other areas, they ask actual questions related to football, his life, GT players, etc and they get very good answers. Several of those types of media people that I have heard were very complimentary of him, his attitude, and his answers. [*]CPJ picks a starter based solely on who he likes and ignores any actual football evidence and will not change. -- This one is a major pet peeve of mine.

[/LIST] I do support CPJ, but does pointing out glaring holes in broad, cutting, and inflammatory comments make me a rabid CPJ supporter? I don't think so.
