You in another post said you respect professional opinions more than reporter/writers...Westhoff said Milliner couldnt start for most colleges...
i'm guessing this is not an accurate quote. milliner was a unanimous all american, finalist for the nagurski and thorpe awards, and starter on a national championship team loaded with talent. are we seriously to believe that while he was good enough to start at alabama, he wasn't good enough to start for most other schools??? if this is an accurate comment, i'm starting to question the ability of westhoff to judge talent. i'm gonna side with nick saban on that one...

Here's his quote...
I'm still a results oriented guy...and I'd like to see more results from Milliner. I'm not calling him a bad pick yet, but if he doesn't show some consistency next year, or gets hurt for the 37th time, I'll feel he's a bad pick.
You and Saban can be Milliner believers, I'll be a believer when he actually does something productive consistently.
i'm starting to believe that they didn't teach reading comprehension at penn st, because nowhere in that article does westhoff say what you claimed he said. and furthermore, nowhere in my post do i say i'm a milliner believer. in fact, i didn't even offer an opinion on him. yet that doesn't stop you from making some straw man point about me and saban being believers.
are you at all capable of discussing things without resorting to stuff like that. it's always the extremes with you. if we don't bash someone, then we must be some groupie.
I'd hope we could all address the posts and not reply with personal attacks. I'm disappointed you'd try to bait an argument with personal attacks rather than just sticking to the post and the thoughts within the post.
Pretty sure saying he wouldn't even be the best CB at Cortland University says a lot about his ability to be a starting CB at a more legit university, NFL team, etc...even if joking...it's implied, without being said directly.
He's not a fan, and a former NFL coach, if that means anything.
he may not be a fan of milliner. that is fine. but he was not being serious when he said he wondered if he was even the best CB at cortland. you'd have to be pretty gullible to think that was a serious comment, especially when it was followed by the following:
Westhoff has a dry sense of humor, and his shot at Milliner was obviously a joke. But Westhoff also used that line make a point about what he saw from Milliner on Wednesday.
as to your call to civility, fine. how about you try it out yourself and not make snide comments at people who don't agree 100% with you.
