I replied to someone else who attacked you, with my opinion on their attack, which was a pretty tame take on my part(expecting better communication from somone so educated). You were the one that pulled out the tape measure. 

So, not only didn't you confront the attacker, you escalated with somone who was relatively innocent.

Yes we got a guard, we also got one when we drafted Volson….the guard we got was the 2nd or 3rd best on his college team.

But the root cause is ownership. They act like the generation coming out of the depression. In 1950 they still think they are in it. Had they signed Trey, Tee, and Jamar sooner they’d have been fine. Had some cap space.  They got aggressive in FA after Burrow tore his ACL. They got aggressive in FA defense after Taylor’s first year when they got obliterated. They’ve got to hit on more players in both FA & the draft. They aren’t.

I may not be the smartest guy in the room but i know i'm smart enough to see how things work and how things don't work. When i see a team that operates almost the opposite of other successful organizations and they continue to do it stubbornly, in the face of a continuing outcome of failure, i have a problem sitting by and accepting that. 

When i see a team way behing in modern amenities, who takes years to catch up, only to have the current MO be different, requiring them to catch up years down the road again...when i see a team with the smallest scouting department in the NFL, who continually fails to draft players outside the top 5 who produce for years, continue to try and re-invent the wheel by drafting player B instead of player A...when i see a team hold on to bad players and bad coaches because they don't want to pay someone for not doing work anymore...when i see a team argue for every single penny and not want to operate the way virtually every other organization operates, ending up paying players milliions more in the end because they weren't smart enough to sign them when they were cheaper...when i see a team fail to realize the the most important thing for a franchise QB is to protect him but instead signs more high priced weapons...

I could go on but what's the use? This team wants and expects fans to "leave any past failures behind" because it allows them to operate the exact same failing way they've operated for decades and maybe they'll get lucky and fall into a championship because the law of large numbers dictates it. The one thing the law of large numbers doesn't dictate is the length of time it takes for something random to even out. 

"Evil prospers when good men do nothing"

Go ahead and sit by quietly, refreshing your optimism every year, year after year. Hoping that this is finally the year we break through and get that elusive championship. It's your right as a fan. 

I won't sit by quietly, believing they're smarter and know what they're doing, when i have decades of results that show they don't.

I get that you have made this Board your entire life and I admire your enthusiasm and love of football..but I have noticed you and a few select others that get offended by new members on this Board..get over it..I don't really care what you would expect nor did anyone appoint you grammar and literacy expert..But..since we have a great Board of sports contributors sir..anytime you want to meet for lunch and or drinks..or both..my treat  ..we can compare degrees . In addition to getting an MBA/MHA from Xavier I also obtained an Masters in Public Health from  the Chan School of Public Health ( Harvard) and I doubt very seriously that your educational background  can match that..We hospital administrators also cuss and do many of the normal things that most people do. Now why dont you stick to discussions and topics rather that attacking and critiquing  others on their grammar and spelling ..Thank you
