POINT
Jamaal Lord is a pethetic stupid idoit
As a big Husker fan, I feel its my duty to let everyone know that thing's arent going to get any better this year for one simple reason. Jamaal Lord is a pethetic stupid idoit.

If Jamaal is QB next fall there wont be any improvement in the Husker's record at all no matter whose calling the plays. I think that Barney Cotton is probably going to be a great OC for us, and the Husker's offense would prolly be dominate if it wasnt for that dumbass moron under center.
I mean it, Jamaal is a stupid moron. Just look at the guy's eye's. Their all droopy looking, which is a sure sign he's stupid. I think he'd have a hard time reading Dick & Jane books, much less the KState defense. And I don't even have to say that his decision making is pretty bad. Sure, he can run the ball and make people miss. But when the offence got stalled last year and we needed to throw, he showed how rediculously stupid he was. It was like watching Forest Gump trying to take a med school test. How many interception's did he have last year anyway? That should tell you all you need to know.
Nebraska ha's alway's had a tradition of smart guy's at QB, even with the black kid's. Tommy Frazier, Turner Gill, etc. are good example's of that. But Jamaal doesnt seem to get it. He think's too slow to play QB. And as a graduate of UNL, I have to say his limited intellegence is an embaresment to the University of Nebraska.
I dont know where the B12 title game is at next year, but as long as that dummy is starting, the question is mute anyway. I want to put it on the record here and now that if Jamaal Lord is our starting quarterback again next year, we'll loose eight games. OSU, PSU, SMU, Colo, ISU, KSU, Missori and prolly to Kansas. I say we move him to WB before its to late and get Dukes in there. I read on the message boards that Dukes is a better passer than Jamaal and is a lot smarter. Why else would he have graduated high school early?
Solich likes seniors tho, so we're screwed. Because Jamaal Lord is a pethetic stupid idoit.

COUNTERPOINT
Kindly eschew obfuscation until such time you can articulate your standpoint passably

Throughout the problematical endeavor that was the 2002 football season, I predictably absorbed the brunt of fan criticism and disdain. A good deal of it was to be expected; as the quarterback for the University of Nebraska, it is my inherent understanding that an inordinate amount of praise is assigned to me in the eventuality of a victory. Likewise, I fully comprehend the reality that a comparable amount of blame is to be bestowed upon my mantle following a defeat. This is not an unexpected phenomenon. That said, I would still urge Mr. Winter to kindly eschew obfuscation until such time he can articulate his standpoint passably.
There are two separate and distinct paths one can embark upon following the unfortunate experience of a defeat. One is to retreat into petty self-pity and ill-tempered blaming, the latter being a transparent attempt to rationalize the consequences of one's own mistakes or shortcomings to protect one's ego. The other is to accept the loss as an educational experience, conduct an honest evaluation of the situation and modify one's behavior to avoid a repeat happening. I believe the great Wendell Phillips said it best: "What is defeat? Nothing but education, nothing but the first step toward something better."
The Nebraska offensive unit relies upon a complex scheme to take advantage of its adversary. As the student-athlete primarily charged with orchestrating the offensive endeavor, I am required to make various reads, progressions and executions cursorily, approximately 50 times a game on average. Certainly, the odds of probability would lend themselves to at least a handful of plays that do not find completion in a satisfactory manner. To eliminate that probability would require reflexive, athletic and intellectual abilities of a superhuman nature.
Mr. Winter, though professing himself so prescient that he is actually clairvoyant, humbly offers the prediction that if I am again orchestrating the offensive attack in the upcoming campaign that our team will face even greater difficulty than the previous year. This argument is flawed -- it does not take into account the vast amount of experience that I garnered during game conditions during the previous 14 contests, and understates the growth and development of the unit as a whole.
Perhaps Mr. Winter should devote less time on his computer quaffing non-diet carbonated beverages and saccharine-filled confections from his firm's vending devices and dedicate his free time to learning the English language. Failing that, I would encourage him to absorb, memorize, and execute on demand the entire 200-page University of Nebraska offensive playbook. But until then, I would advise him to keep his pastry-orifice securely fastened. In other words, if you think you can do better, bring it on, white boy. Otherwise, keep your pie hole shut.
And one last thing: It's "Jammal," not "Jamaal."
