Um...you do know some of the people that you directed this at, right? I mean, would you really go to Rome and tell the Pope that he's saying Mass wrong?

Just asking.

How would he know some of the people here? I've been here a while and don't know any detail of anyone's background, except to say there seem to be some knowledgeable football people contributing.

The Pope thing? Yikes. The football equivalent to the Pope does not post on Lionbackers, and Lionbackers isn't the football Vatican.

Time people just treat each other with equal regard here.

Oh and...treating people with respect was the primary message in my post, which it looks like you missed. Perhaps if someone is new, they might take some time to read and learn before criticizing others, rather than presuming the people here have less knowledge than the new poster himself/herself has?

I also think that some of the newer posters should be aware of the standing that some of the 'regulars' have here, and show a little respect sometimes. I don't care how much or how little people know about the game or the team, or who they know. I do care how we treat each other, though! Be nice!

Not that their skill set is the same. like if u look at the edmonton game, the only times pierce was able to move down the field was when logan broke a big run, or that crazy eski that kept getting roughing the passer penalties. I think ppl just think of buck's first year here, where he was awesome, but after that he's been mediocre at best.

I can't believe I am actually replying to a poster with a name that reminds me of "mydaddyisbiggerthanyours"!!!!!!! Not sure if you are a BC Lion fan or just a Cam Wake fan with that name as there are 12 guys on defence at any one time and not just Wake.

I know like others do that football from the stands is about the easiest game ever played as you get lots of time between plays to second guess and critique. At times, we risk getting so analytical we forget the talent that is being displayed by both teams.

If you were to respectfully and completely look at Buck's record since he came to the Lions and put the mediocre on one side of a scale and the good to great play on the other, you'd realize how well he has performed in a Lion's uniform.

The damage he got from poor blocking and the unhealed injury (I assume it was unhealed) has put him behind Jackson at the moment but he will be a terrifically successful CFL QB for many years to come even if that train doesn't really get untracked in the next few games.

Buck Pierce didn't become "brittle" as some suggest or like "glass". I think some of this comes from the stories of his toughness that came out of his university days and many were posted here. Injuries happen in football and it takes time to heal and while that is ongoing some other gets your job.

By all these standards of assessing performance, Anthony Cavillo would have been long gone out of the CFL and doing something else instead of hauling down a top CFL pay package and thrilling Als fans well after most QBs have retired!!!!!!!

I'll disregard your posting on my being a fan or knowing about football, as i have played, well, for years. just cause of my name does not mean that cam is the only guy i dig on the leo's. But I'm sorry i'll also have to disagree with you on bucks penchant for getting injured. He's damn near always injured so you'll just have to accept the comments that hes made of glass, like martin havlat of the chicago blackhawks. There are some players who will just never make it thro and entire season, and that just sucks for them, as then end up being players that coaches cant figure they can count on because they never suit up for every game.

As I said earlier, Buck's first year was great, but ever since it has been mediocre, theres really nothing you can say to push away that FACT. Trust me when i say that i know what i am talking about when it comes to football, i have years in the game and i usually watch each lions game 4-5 times, analysing each play and the overall game plan. Of course there is talent on both sides of the field, and that talent has increased exponetially in the west this year. When it comes down to it, the lions are really the only team that didnt make big upgrades in the offseason.
