Thread: IF J'Marcus Webb DOES prove to be a rock solid LT this season...

Good post brother. This has been my point about Webb all along. It's not his lack of horsepower that causes his problems it's his lack of brainpower.

Yea I have a problem with all the dumb Bears fans that keep piling on Webb when he's just a young player learning to play the most difficult position on the line.

Not everyone is going to agree with you, and your demonstrated superior knowledge of all things football. I am one of those. Regardless of my opinions of Webb, or anyone for that matter, posting to eat a bag of dicks and to stick it is infantile and does not belong in mature football discussions. You can keep swinging off of Tice and Webb's nuts if you feel the need.
GO F@CK YOURSELF. Skippy.

I'm glad you've recognized that I've demonstrated superior knowledge of all things football. Btw, I'll be here all week.

I agree with your post. One good thing is that we will know this season if he's going to make it or not as a starter in the NFL. In fact, I'm thinking it may be 3 or 4 solid games into the season before I would breathe easy - even if he does nail down the starting job over C. Wiliams. But I'm sure hoping he pans out because this offense has the look of one that can be really really special with a decent oline. I really don't worry about the other 4 oline positions. I think we'll be OK with the rest of the line. It's the LT position that worries me.

I couldn't give a happy damn about Webb. I hope that he really does improve and become a solid player. Barring that, I hope that the scheme and his team-mates can mask his obvious inabilities. I only got a little miffed by being told, indirectly, to eat a bag of dicks. That is gonna get a reaction from me, every time. And yes, I realize that I should not stoop to the level of name calling, etc., therefore, bigbad, I apologize, kinda. Call me skippy again and you will get more of the same.

Every player in the NFL went without an offseason last year, including all rookies. Some played well. Cam Newton masterfully played arguably the most difficult position in the NFL without the benefit of an offseason. Most players work their ass off in the offseason and improve to some degree. Why would we believe that Webb will improve so much more noticeably than everyone else to the point where he is starting LT material? Because of Tice and his pixie dust? Because we can hide him in scheme? Wasn't Tice his coach last year? And wouldn't masking the player just be hiding deficiencies, not showing improvement? I am not going to say he cannot develop into a decent LT. He has a lot of improvement to make, and I will wait to be shown before hitching my wagon to his career.

All this talk of dicks in bags and what all has me wondering what's going on in this thread.
