Quote:You're right, I'm totally trolling because I'm defending an organization that just made wholesale changes until we see what happens. Instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt and seeing what happens with what they do before judging, I should instead criticize and be harsh on each and every move they make before knowing if they are the right move or not.

 

As for moving on instead of continuing conversation/arguments for why I feel one way, I think you need to take a look at what a message board and forum are for. Considering you are a moderator, I would think you would know this first hand.

 

But okay...I guess I'll continue with my butterflies and rainbow remarks. *sigh*

 

Just curious, has there been any decision at all since the Gus firing that's sparked your imagination?

 

I get that it's exciting.  Like opening presents on Christmas day... not knowing what you might get.

 

But have there been any decisions or rumors that made you stop and think?  Hmm... wonder what they were thinking here?  What's the connection there?

 

Any questions raised at all?

 

If not - why?  If we're not asking questions, we're not being curious fans.

 

Interesting... no one has asked you to be harsh and criticize every move... yet you imply that's what I'm doing here, which does explain your reaction to me.

 

Through discussion with others on the board, do you have any opinion or opinions about any of the changes that have influenced you to stop and take pause, and change your opinion?  I certainly have, and I'm certainly not too proud to admit it.

 

In this instance, the entire record of Chip Kelly at the NFL level is one big red flag.  We can spin it or chalk it up to being the fault of Chip the GM, or Chip the HC... and maybe somehow Chip the OC would be different.  But unfortunately his overall record speaks for itself.  The bad certainly outweighs the good from my perspective, yet I haven't found anything yet to move that needle.  I think it's more than fair to question whether or not Chip is better suited for college, which I'd wager most football fans would agree at this point.

 

To me that's asking a bit more than "wait and see," when signs seem to show caution ahead.  That's being overly generous, which... is opposite but equal to being overly negative.  You may not want to believe it, but it is possible to be cautious and not own a pitchfork.  Overly generous is just as bad as overly negative.
