I think what Truck is railing against is the section of the fan base that is actually pulling for failure and losses. Maybe even those that are revelling in the current situation to prove how knowledgeable they are. All out tanking had never worked in this league. The Browns did it, then spent a some loot on FAs, and made some moves. They're still losers. The only difference is their payroll is higher.
Good post Jason. There's going to be growing pains and frustration. I went to the Cardinals game and my son was panicked for the 5 minutes the team put two scores together. He wants that top pick.
We won't get it, and I'll be honest I don't know what should be done. And I don't want players who don't want to fight either.
There's a nice article in the Athletic by Paul Dehner talking about what Sean Williams has been playing through. Pretty inspiring really.
The big frustration right now is (obviously) the front office and the coaching staff. I really thought we had a promising situation here, but I've been very disillusioned by the play calling and the very poor decisions (e.g. the foolish challenge and the foolish non challenge). But there's still a chance they may grown into the role. Just not promising.
But I know this Truck - none of us want you to leave. You are way too valuable to the boards. We're all in the same boat brother, let the rats dive overboard!
