T0mShane is not a "Terrible Poster"

Is @T0mShane great? Nope. Is he top 15? Not today. But is he "terrible"? "Incompetent"? "Downright awful and should be banned tomorrow"? No. 

Right now, the JN is considered a Top 10 message board in the league, not by me or other random Message board posters, but by MANY Football pundits and commentators:

 

"If you talk about JetNation you will be banned here."

- Soothsayer circa 2005

 

"I will fight @ZachEY in a gas station parking lot."

- Green Eggs & Ham

 

That's just a quick snapshot of what the "Media" is saying about the message board T0mShane has built underneath Max. "Terrible" posters don't generate those kinds of quotes.

Is Tom perfect? Is he great? No, he is not. But right now, JN is posting to the mean of the NFL message boards, instead of being an outlier for futility.  There are plenty of promising younger posters playing significant roles on the board from the past few years along with strong vets like @Jet_Engine1, @JiFtheOracle  and so many others, and aside from two GLARING, OBVIOUS misses, the prognosticating and decision-making by Tom has been pretty darn good of late:

 

-2006 was a bit... rough:  Tom felt Matt Leinart was going to be an absolute stud.

-2013 Speaks for itself.  John Idzik's first season was an 8-8 triumph.

-2017 Tom predicted big things for Solomon Thomas.  Yikes.

-2021 Tom correctly ascertained that Zach Wilson would be a monumental bust.  Chalk that up in the win column.

-2023 Tom tabbed @Joe W. Namath for the captaincy.  Oof.

-2024 Tom correctly avoided a fight with a drug-addled homeless man despite the urging of his young lady to defend her honor.  Well played, Tom.

 

THE GOOD

Tom's dominance over @Pac and @Larz in the great Jamal Adams debates from 2017-2020 should never be dismissed.

 

The BAD

@dbatesman felt that acquiring Jacoby Brissett over Aaron Rodgers would be the correct decision.  Since that time Tom flip-flopped on the right call, understanding full well that Rodgers is a narcissistic crazy person who also happens to be very good at football but could derail the entire franchise on his own OR save it in the short-term.

 

THE GIANT, UGLY ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Is it because @Smizzy is no longer around and @faba is in semi-retirement that we no longer talk about Tom's long-standing fear of Steelers fans?  Shameful.

 

Oh, and a final note... and be honest. If you went back to 2005 and told yourself, yeah, it looks like we're hurting for posters and post counts, but in a few years, we're going to have be one of the biggest, best, and most active message boards in all of pro sports...you would have said, "Where do I sign up?".

I was 100% expecting my name someplace under that last heading. LOL

Funny stuff. Disagree with Brissett. Rodgers was the right move in my opinion. Think Tom was wrong flip flopping on that, but we'll see.

In other news the season is nearly upon us.  Our last meaningful practice is done with and then we are off to the land of 53 plus practice squaddies.

"San Francisco... open your golden gate" <sings>

Does the OP fully understand just how balls-deep Tom was on the whole Zack sucks thing?

t0m shane likes, my quiet, thinks jake bobo is an all star thought adam gase was good and always backs the very worst jetnation captains.

The moment he starts a jets game day thread vegas shifts the line agaisnt the jets.

He's a mostly harmless side kick like Robin, Sancho panza or marvin the paranoid android from hitcher hikers guide.
