Packers release Safety Nick Collins

[JBURGE25]

There's also the difference that Peterson is the Vikings star player. Quarless is not. We can afford to put him on the PUP

As I found out during the whole Nick Collins discussion, "absurd" means "I don't agree with you so I'm going to marginalize your opinion rather than spending time advancing a cogent argument."

Clearly, Peterson is an important part of what Minnesota wants to do on offense. Cleary, they'd like him on the field if at all possible. If he's not ready, it'd be stupid in the first degree to rush him onto the field. Do I think Minnesota is capable of being stupid? Oh yeah, absolutely.

But none of us have conducted a physical examination of Peterson, or seen him workout, or even asked him how he's feeling. The people who have think he's ready enough to play.

I would not accuse Minnesota of reckless disregard for the welfare of their players. Stupidity sometimes, sure. But not reckless disregard.

You may think it's absurd. I may think it's absurd. Other people may think it's absurd. But that would just be our opinion.

I think it would be stronger if you simply made your point and let people decide for themselves what is, and isn't, absurd.

If you recall, people thought I was being absurd because I thought that Nick Collins was finished with the Packers and that Thompson had already made his mind up on the matter before the final medical report. I was called a troll, and worse, as people attempted to marginalize my opinion because it didn't mesh with the groupthink here.

I don't agree with MNPackfan32's opinion on this. I thought the statement you referenced above was over the top hyperbole. But I'm really unhappy with the attitude here that we'll just marginalize the opinions of people we disagree with.

The idea that Minnesota somehow cares less about athletes than other organizations.... Is absurd.

Absurd: Wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate.

It's absurd because it's an unreasonable, illogical, and inappropriate stance. It's pretty Trollololol.

When someone says something is absurd, they are saying that it doesn't make sense because there is no evidence to support the statement.

In this case, Polaris, because I also agree that arguments are too "I disagree. So I'm just going to say the opposite and give no reason why I feel I am right". I ask what we can come up with to support the statement that Minnesota doesn't value NFL players' health like they should.

I'll start. Jim Marshall shot himself and played the same week.

Obviously the Vikings wont have a party in the streets if one of their players die on the field and I have referenced other teams like the Browns mishandling of Colt McCoy's concussion last year. The Vikings were an example and many other teams are guilty of the same things they have done, but they were the first team that came to mind.

And yet nobody has answered the bit about AP coming back 12 weeks earlier than Quarless, even though Q can run up a hill and jump onto a box. And we have seen proof that Adrian isn't the recovery freak people like to hype him to be.

Really my only issue with this forum is how some try their best to sh1t on others just cuz they have a differing opinion. Seen it many times and it seems to be the same few repeat offenders. The board will improve drastically when everyone respects their fellow fan and keeps discussion closer to debate than argument...
