And the game ball goes to.........

I think Locker gets it this time. The team responds to him and plays harder for some reason. I seem to remember a similar effect occuring with our "last" great soon to be franchise qb, to remain un named..... Locker made shlt happen. If he couldn't throw it he balled up and ran it. Several others did well, but I think Locker is the spark plug here.

And as far as bud doing this???? Uh, when you threaten employees, you get mixed results. Most will only do enough just to not get fired. Kinda like two guys hiking in the woods and a grizzly shows Up. I don't have to outrun the bear, just the guy I'm walking with. Just have to do a bit better than the other guy.

Not sure how to explain cj1yd. Although I am happy for his apparent ressurgence, I will never be back on the bandwagon. That being said, for some reason he is performing. Maybe one of his homies splained to him that if he gets cut this offseason his big check goes away. And, after his performance this year, NO ONE will ever give him that contract. Just my assumption. Perhaps he's outrunning his buddy in the woods and is doing just enough not to get f'd up by the bear.

I'm happy he's playing with some balls again, but yea I'm not getting too excited by his resurrection either, he'll let us down again some day.

Maybe it wasn't Bud who put the fire under the players, but rather under the coaches, and they put the fire under the players. I vote Bud because it all started with him.

So basically you guys are just gonna hate on CJ for the sole purpose of hating on CJ? I could understand when he isn't performing, but now it is clear that you are just haters.

Not hate, just evaluate. Remember cj1yd turned a lot of people off with his mouth just like punkman did. He demanded elite player pay. He got elite player pay. He failed to perform any better than a scrub. When people complained he ran his mouth like a b__ch! Screw him. I still cringe when he gets the ball.

It's up to Munchak to capture yesterdays fire and keep it burning.

You are going off of his past performance, and saying screw him no matter what he does now ... that is hate, not evaluate.

He got elite player pay, and didn't perform. People got mad ... I understand. He started out this season very poorly. People were still upset with him, even me ... I understand. But he has been playing lights out for the last several weeks. I would think that any fan would be like "Finally, this is the CJ we gave the contract to" and want the ONE marque player we have to start performing well again.

Hate to disappoint you but you are wrong. Why do i have to hate? I am NO LONGER an fan and he only has himself to blame. Someone can be a jack@ss and not be hated at the same time, would you not agree.

If hate is something that lives in your life so be it but do not assume it lives in mine.
