Thank you for admitting that. It's unfortunate that when some folks don't understand something, they'll simply discredit it altogether. That's not directly aimed at you, DEHog, but just in general.
Science is a perfect example. Folks can't comprehend the science, public education does very little to increase and expand the education of science, and the end conclusion,
for some, is to just discredit the science altogether.
It helps them sleep better at night.
My father is a PhD physicist and I've learned a lot about physics and science over the years. You try to talk to others about it, and when some don't understand it or can't speak intelligently about it, they'll ultimately discredit the science based on their own, unrecognized, ignorance.
This isn't directed at you DEHog, as I have seen you acknowledge certain things and you aren't 100% negative all the time, but my father taught me that an ignorant man is far too ignorant to recognize his own ignorance. Some should think about that.
Jason La Canfora and the Post is another perfect example. He predicted cap hell, and based on his lack of knowledge regarding the Skins approach to contracts and managing the cap, also predicted the Skins wouldn't be able to afford to sign any free agents. He had a field day bashing the Skins regarding their "alleged" cap hell. Some did the same thing here, and prematurely concluded that Haynesworth's contract would stop them from signing positions of need, depth, and an inability to re-sign their own players. Yet a week later, they've signed Haynesworth, Dockery, Hall, Dirk Johnson, Fincher and Doughty
and are still about $8 million under the cap looking to possibly sign more.
Point being, don't always knock it just because you don't understand it. NO ONE here has argued that Snyder hasn't made mistakes in the past or against the fact that the Skins have been mediocre, with just two playoff appearances in the past decade. But lumping every decision into the same category and refusing to acknowledge things they fail to comprehend is just... ... ignorant.
