Hold your breath!

At the very least Whodat you peek around from behind your blinders from time to time, and for that I give you a bit of credit. See, the thing is in every breath, when folks here discuss Deuce\'s vanishing act, you all the \"yeah buts\", like, \"oh, well he didn\'t do well because of the other teams defense\", or, \"well, it\'s the scheme\", or \"see, they\'re not blocking good for Deuce\". Of course I know these things play a part.

When bashing Brooks, folks go so far as to blame him for the teams issues stopping the friggin\' screen pass. That is a very good example (and there are a least a thousand more) of how far the Brooks bashing has gone. You know that\'s true. Why even argue it?

More than simply saying Deuce sucks (because he doesn\'t) I\'m saying he hasn\'t played well lately. You can agree or disagree, but while you disagree you point to the reasons his play hasn\'t been up to par -- and those reasons never rest on the shoulder of the man failing to perform...and that\'d be Deuce. If the same standars are applied, then Deuce should simply overcome and perform. This is, afterall, what is expected of Brooks.

Why has it taken me so long to see people actually acknowledge poor line performance? Because now it affects Deuce. You guys fought me on ever dropped pass I pointed out...ya\'ll have been doing that for two years now. If you can\'t see the double standard now you never ever will.
