The fact of the matter is we do not know the dynamics of the people in the front office or the weight of their opinions within the chain of command.

I am simply not someone who is willing to twist myself into a pretzel to try to massage my biases, as you clearly are. You laid yourself bare defending Urban Meyer right until the end even after a mountain of evidence that he was an unmitigated disaster, hence the homerbiscuit moniker. I just can't do that (although to be honest I am sometimes jealous of people who are able to). Baalke has a long track record that is damn near as bad as it gets from multiple angles. Until he proves otherwise that is what Baalke is, he is not to be given the benefit of the doubt until he earns it. And trust me, I hope he earns it.

But I had no biases. I will take the same wait and see stance as I did with Meyer, what you call homer defense. All I said was give the guy a chance. In the end I admitted I was wrong. 
You make these incredible reaches with Baalke to try and justify your unreasonable hate for the guy, but at least I’m glad you at least are willing to wait and see.
