Yes I almost sometimes think this is Dallas Cowboys Alternate Universe, Romo=God and Bates=Sucks.Romo is why we lose and Bates belongs in the Ring of Honor.
No doubt you would support Romo for the RoH.

Show us even one time that ANYBODY has said Romo is a God. Or for that matter, that Bates sucks. These are just figments of your imagination that you conjured up to try and support a very weak argument.
Or, you could just go to your tried and true diversion tactic. Post some idiotic smiley and follow it up with some inane comment that has absolutely nothing to do with the post you're quoting.
Bates sucked
This is 100% fact: Teams had to double and sometimes even triple team him, had to account for him, and had to run scout teams for him in practice. Yes, they used valuable practice time working on stopping Bates.
Call it a "terrible" argument if you will, but that's only because you can't counter it.
You're what, 23? They triple teamed bates regularly.No one ever triple teamed Bates.
You haven't been paying attention. The headhunter's headhunter (opposing teams) was created to try to stop Bates. Did you not watch the video in the OP?FYI, he didn't change the game. There were many headhunters in his day. He was only one.

:nsisYou're what, 23? They triple teamed bates regularly.
The argument is and only ever was, this:
- Longevity - Bates' 15 years of service ties him with Ed Jones and Mark Tuinei for all-time years served.
- Character - Always outstanding, in all endeavors on and off the field.
- Changed the game - Opponents had to use valuable practice time to account for Bates in the kicking game - double and triple teaming wasn't uncommon but was to little effect. NFL expands All-Pro and Pro Bowl rosters adding special teams specialist.
- Knack for the ball - Very often coming up with the big play when needed most. Whether it be a sack on a blitz, a pick, or causing a fumble. A constant annoyance for the opponent, not unlike a gnat - But they could never do anything about it.
What about the part where he just wasn't that good?
