Some of the beat guys are way too easy on this team. Jim and Dehner in particular, with Paul doing as much as trying to carry water for them in their not-so-smart Whitworth disinformation tactic. Others like P Doc and some of the broadcast guys like Broo and Egger are a little tougher on them.
Understandable, I guess. It's probably hard to get great access to an organization if you piss them off by being critical. Jim isn't Hobson. He's more Hobson lite. He doesn't get paid by the team, but he does seem to tread very lightly in his criticisms.
This team would get absolutely murdered by any big-city sports media for what they've done this offseason.
My point isn't whether or not Jim O cares I don't expect him to but a lot of the stuff he was saying is the same stuff people get called out for around here that usually ends with people saying they are content with losing, have been bungalized and yada yada.
I think the part in bold is totally made up. Maybe you need to come to terms with the fact that people who are more educated than you or me about how the team is run aren't as critical as some are here.
