[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 17838, member: 274"] I'm not sure if there is a history with ATL1 on other boards since I rarely visited bbuzzoff or gtsportstalk. Based on discussion on this board and what I want the board to become, I think his points represent a big enough portion of the fan base to be very relevant. Calling out him or other fonts is not helpful. Yes, ATL1 may be emotional, but so are others who do not see some element of truth in his posts re: CPJ or the offense. Not every argument can or should be won on stats alone. Ben Roethlisberger is not better than Peyton Manning because he has more Super Bowl rings. Alex Rodriguez is not one of the greatest baseball players of all time because he builds his stats on middle relief and struggles in the limelight of the big moment. I agree that stats have a place in every debate but it's not the end all be all. Perception sometimes ends up being reality, and if we don't respect folks who make points on perception then we will just have the "sunshine and rainbows" board that I don't want this to become either. Everyone on this board is coming from the right place i.e., we want GT to win and win often. In the end folks just disagree on the best way to reach that goal, and it's ok. [/QUOTE]
