Peters saw his potential and knew he could get back to being spectacular, but the fans were fickle, and two years of saying 'good riddance' to TJ grants him a little recognition that he in fact, was never garbage. He wasn't perfect, but he wasn't trash.
Oh, and one more thing.. like it or not...
Boooo Yaaaaaa CP- I still love you all! |
With any forum that is the nature of the beast, some good posters and a handful of reactionary posters with little, or no patience. We just have to keep at it, growing, learning.
Your post is a big lesson! We have had 2 maybe 3 players now that some fans elected to throw under the bus repeatedly . This has gone on for almost 2 seasons.., "longer in some cases"; Some posters insisting the players were a complete bust and had no value. Some of it hateful, hurtful but a lot of it inaccurate, inconsiderate and uncalled for. Unfortunately we probably never hear apologies from many or most of them; And a lot of times stuff that you would never say to that persons face, because you know it was just hurtful.
Now we see how much of an impact a proper coach can have on certain individuals. And to think there were some on here who "completely" gave up on Brodie. Thanks for not being too hard on us, there are a lot of people here who really do appreciate Brodie and would like nothing better than to see him lift the "Cup". We have a great group of young guys with lots of talent, and Brodie being a veteran player, and leader is exactly what this team needs.
