I'm not sure if you've picked up a newspaper, surfed the internet or turned on a tv lately, but no one has any faith in you (which they say is due to lack of confidence in your arm and nothing personal). And that's just the Jets fans! Anyone who is nonpartisan/unbiased on the issue has already marked October as the Baptism of Kellen Clemens. I think that during the 2002 season, when some people went out on a limb and began comparing you the greatest of Joes (Montana, not Namath), they actually began believing their own hype about how you and you alone were going to deliver Super Bowl Championships. The reality is that arm strength didn't guide us to our last division title. No, we should remember that the 2002 season was made possible by equal parts guts, will, determination, accuracy, intelligence, Curtis Martin and Defense. But you were our lightning rod (not the pompom waving cheerleader that so many fans have reduced you to since then). You were the leader, the general, the Golden Boy. You can be anyone you choose to be this year. Long story longer, the point of this is that I just wanted you to know that if no one else does...the Green Lantern still believes in you. And though I'll certainly wince every time a 300 lb defensive lineman jumps on your back and you use your right arm to brace yourself against the turf, I honestly think you're going to shock the world this year. This isn't false hope either. My feelings come from a world where impossibility doesn't exist. There's a greater force out there that spreads itself beyond mere life and death, and sometimes you just have to find your way to that place where anything and everything is possible. To some, it's heaven. To me...it's a place here on Earth where miracles happen: Giants Stadium. Call it ignorant optimism or sheer stupidy. Call it being a sunshiner in a darksider's world. But for me to write you off before you've even competed in a single real game yet this season...well, THAT would just be utter foolishness. Because as of today, the New York Jets are in first place with the other 32 teams out there. And every year, Cinderella shows up someplace on someone's arm. Can you take her to East Rutherford, NJ? I believe you can do anything you want to do. Prepare for takeoff. Best wishes, best of luck to you and every one who bleeds green... Cordially, The Green Lantern
Beautifully fucking written!!!! i couldnt have said it better myself:beer: i say send that to the NFL Live Crew
Nice post. I've been critical of Chad in the past, but I so desperately want him to succeed in his comeback. Frankly, from what I've seen this year, his arm strength doesn't look like an issue. We need his experience and leadership now more than ever. I just hope this line can protect him and provide a running game, so he can stay healthy and execute the play-action, because like him or not, nobody does the play-action better than Chad.
I'm not into posting but I just wanted to say Amen to everything you wrote. You were able to put into words everything I have been feeling as I read derogatory remarks about a QB who has played his tail off for this team and who deserves at least the chance to play one 'real' game this season prior to being vilified by one and all. Thanks.
ok lemme bring this lovefest down a couple pegs right quick.......i have the perfect way to summarize.......ignorant optimism,sheer stupidity........aside from that, your intentions are great....but its kind of gay dude......lightning rods and cinderella....beacon of strength yadda yadda...love, the green lantern?????cmon bro, that was a little too comic book for me....Giants stadium is the place where miracles happen???? like getting out of the parking lot in less than 45 minutes? is that a miracle? please dont send that into nfl live or whatever like someone suggested
Hopefully Kellen Clemens isn't playing in October...he looked pretty ugly in the preseason. Then again the whole offense kinda did.
I think he means Midnight Miracle or Miracle at the Meadowlands, jonnyd. But I love the suphero's spirit! ALMOST had me there GL. Almost. Until further notice...he's still Noodles to me. (And the NEW#16 should be waiting in the wings. Just in case.)
this is indeed gayer then aids. i got 2nd degree douche chills reading this and barely made it halfway through.
I can prescribe something for you. It's called reality, which The Green Lantern's HMO appartently does not cover.
I figured Id get roasted for this one, thanks for deflecting some bullets...all I got so far is a 'DUDE SHUT UP"...if yo get cinderella by the arm chad, please bring her to east rutherford...hahahahah:rofl:
