When Justin Smith was a Bengal half the people here hated on him.  For years Leon Hall was one of the better CBs in the league and half the people here bashed him because he "couldn't cover speed receivers".  And it took Whitworth many years of playing at an elite level at OT before people here stopped claiming he should be moved to guard because he "struggled with speed rushers".

So people go to lengths tp defend these players because they deserve to be defended.

It's the nature of the business. Do you really think anywhere you go you wont get some sort of criticism, even more  so when you're in the public's eye? 

And they're being defended by the people who matter the most: the staff.  Do you really think the players really care what outsiders think about them? Doubtful. And if they do, shame on them for letting key-board heroes get to them.
