I don't want to bump a number of threads, but since the question was posed in a thread, I did a little digging.


And it caught my eye that DuckJake was the last poster in a couple of these.


First off, from PACardsFan:
Whiz minus Grimm, Keim, Horton > BA, Keim, Bowles
http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb...t-ba-keim-bowles-199740.html?highlight=bowles


Next this gem from 1DS:
Todd Bowles is to Bruce Arians...As Russ Grimm was to Ken Whisenhunt.

http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/f4/todd-bowles-is-to-bruce-arians-199237.html?highlight=bowles

From Cheesebeef (with a classic DuckJake post)
Bruce Arians' Coachspeak
http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/f4/bruce-arians-coachspeak-199839.html?highlight=bowles

NJCardsFan:
What Was Once A Strength Is Now A Weakness
http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb...s-now-a-weakness-199730.html?highlight=bowles

I love public polls:

Are threads like this really necessary?

Posters asked for it - rather than the multiple thread bumps that have been done the past few days, this puts it in one place, clearly marked as such.


Is any message board thread necessary? :D

I think some of these retro threads are fun. Everyone jumps to conclusions and is quick to overreact I am just glad in this case I wasn't one of them. I have been wrong in plenty of other circumstances, especially on draft day.

I'm always wrong, and always shocked when one of these bumps doesn't feature my ignorance.

i was wrong. Bruce Almighty can say whatever the frick he wants at this point. Not only that, but I believe him when he says it.

I actually got to a point where I posted that BA may be a blow hard. If I didn't type it I thought that he reminded me of Buddy Ryan. Now I wasn't all BA sucks but I did have my concerns.

BA rules and any doubters drool. :)

I'm almost certain I DID say that exact thing at some point. That and I buried Palmer at some point. And Bowles. I was wrong about everything and so happy!

If you cant laugh at old posts you made that were completely wrong, you pretty much suck.

I predicted a terrible terrible season last year.

I find that hilarious.

I am sure you can find posts on here where I hated the Anquan Boldin pick and others where I was singing the praises of Matt Leinart.

The Cards need to pick Blaine Gabbert. He is that good.

If you want to be the one poking fun at yourself sure. If you go out of your way to poke fun at other posters who may not welcome the behavior, not so much.

I think threads like these tread a very thin line.

Go ahead Mulli, make fun of me about this post somewhere down the line. :D

What thin line? Thin line for thin skins?

Yeah. Pretty much. If this type of behavior happened at school, we'd be calling them bullies right now. Probably doesn't help that I have a 12 year old daughter and 13 year old son...... All it takes is one person to not find it funny for all sorts of bad to happen.

As long as everyone is ok with it, I guess I am too.

All of the sudden bumping old threads is bullying?

Seems like a Goodell ruling!
