Have You Ever Done A 180 Degree On A Player?

[pdxbearsfan]

Many / Most of us form an opinion on players (good or bad) pretty quickly and at least for me
in thinking back I rarely change that opinion over time.
Do you stay or change?
Who have you changed on? What made you change?
Before Brandon Marshall came to the Bears I thought he was just a diva but came to appreciate
him most of his time here.
I have to think about if others come to mind.

Have you never participated in an in game thread here? Half (90%) the posters pull a 180 once a drive on players.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

I've literally pulled 720s on players

 

[Les Grossman]

I'd wager to guess that everyone pulled a 180 on Robert Quinn.

Usually I cook at 225 until an internal temp of 205 with like brisket and pork shoulder. Idk if that would be the same for a cole Kermit or not

 

[Hawkeye OG]

I pulled a 180 on Kyle Fuller. He really struggled early on in his career and would never turn around. I hated it. And then something clicked and he became a very solid CB for the Bears.

No idea what happened in Denver.

Have you ever done a Hinkleman on a player?

Oh for sure. Guy went from biggest bust free agent ever to “I won’t take anything less than a first!” I’m amazed he didn’t win come back player of the year.

Nah I argued for Quinn still being a good player and being unlucky last year. Debated with several guys that his metrics were better than Floyd's when people were crying about losing Floyd.

I did a 540 on ARob. Liked when we signed him, didn't like him much his first season, came around on him in 2019 and 2020 but then went back to hating him in 2021.

Ricky williams.
Poor guy was crushed with pressure the way Ditka gave up the world for him (and the photo shoot....fucking insane).

On the field he was killing it, but had the breakdown and retired.
Was really pulling for him when he came back, but then the drug issue cost him a year, and I gave up on him.

From then on, I ceased caring what happened. He had access to all the help in the world, but just never made the most of it.

Moment of silence for the late '20-'21 Vildor truthers.

Age is undefeated. But yeah, he' definitely one.

I was literally the only person cheerleading for Phil Emery to sign Lamarr Houston in 2014. Said something like:

"He will replicate everything this defense was overpaying Julius Peppers for at a fraction of the age & price."

I was wrong. He was just a guy that had one of the lamest season ending injuries in franchise history.

My bad!

 

[Montucky]

I just loved Eddie Jackson and the way he played in 2018, now he's legitimately one of the worst starters on this (awful) Bears team.

 

[Montucky]

I don't know if its quite a "180" but I had pretty high hopes for Mark Anderson once upon a time. He wound up actually coming around though, just for New England (and for only one season).

Yeah, I found out how Special person Brian Urlacher was.

I dunno man.

Urlacher always gave me "POS" vibes, so I was never surprised by any of the scumbag stories that came out about him.

 

[bears5150]

I think its also referred to as tossing salad

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

I'd wager to guess that everyone pulled a 180 on Robert Quinn.

He’s prob the most obvious

 

[Bust]

Back in the day everyone was dissing Mike Brown as the bears pick in the 2nd round.

Ooops!
