Criticizing individual players

[Wildmanfan]

Is it wrong to call out by name or positon a particular player in a post?

Are they too young? Does it matter the position? Is say calling out the line different than say a receiver. I know what I believe what are your thoughts.

It depends on the context and what your doing it for if you are doing it just to bash someone i say yes its very wrong but if its to say you saw something they can do better i belive that is ok.

Rules 1,2,3,4,5,13 and 16 also are vauge in nature and are allowed in almost every topic. I was trying to encourage the why of not doing it not vauge rule interpetation. Thank You

I don't think it is right to call out an individual player by name to criticize their play. Saying the line needs to block or the backs need to hit the ole or the LB need to be more aggressive is OK but to single out by name is not in my opinion. Calling out by name to give kudos is OK. These are 15-19 year old kids not college or professional athletes.

I don't believe this is a place to criticize a kid.

I have no problem mentioning names as long as it's respectful of the kid. I think the posts I've read on here are by-and-large complimentary of players when they are mentioned by name.

So and So is a good athlete and Linebacker, I just wish he could tackle better b/c his missed tackles are causing them to lose games.

 

Where does this fall?

 

I didn't say he stunk, but it was critical.

I think it is over the line. I think if you stop after "tackle better," it is OK but the losing games takes it over the edge. These are highschool kids.

speaking for myself...I like to see posts that discuss teams as a whole...how they stack up...by people who are objective and are talking from their mind not their heart...I like to see players praised as long as it doesn't become a P/R campain...I never like to see individual players called out in a poor light...as a poster earlier said...they are 15-19 yr old kids...

I think it wrong only if the player is playing to his best ability out there and then who are u to criticize them it is up to the coach to do that and plus u might not be doing no better urself. DOnt u hate when someone on ur team calls u out or trys to coach u and ur thinking shut up and try playing that position and see how good u succeed in it.
