LeBatard: Building a Franchise in Salary Cap Sports Isn't Finding Great Players, It's Finding Great Value

Ask yourself this: Why are people supporting him?

The answer is simple: Because under Gettleman we've had more success than at any other time in this franchise history.

And why is that? Because he makes the right moves way more often than he does the wrong ones. And that's included letting go of popular players that led to a lot of screaming and crying.

Frankly, just because you can't separate your emotions from a business decision doesn't mean others can't. 

Scot, Gettleman admitted he let his emotions affect decisions before, lol.  Again, almost every possible career and/or vocation out there that involves making decisions is not void of emotions.  Just because he is a GM doesn't mean he magically becomes a business-minded robot.  We will just have to agree to disagree because apparently a lot of people on this board think Gettleman is a supermutant incapable of mistakes.  He is a human being, lol.

And where did I say I didn't support him?  That statement right there shows that having a conversation with most of those who have quoted me is pointless...  lol, I never said I didn't support him...  as the GM of my team, he is MY GM.  Why would I not support him?  Many here apparently can't distinguish the difference between criticism and outright disdain.  And that shows you all are acting out of emotion and making the conversation about something that it isn't.

Look back at what Thomas96 quoted from the other thread and tell me that sounds like unemotional, objective/constructive criticism.

The reason why people argue with you is because you post things that sound emotional and reactionary. Maybe you don't see that, but you might wanna ask yourself if you're getting these responses so frequently because everyone is misreading you or because that's how you really sound.

Read it as if you were reading someone else's post and tell me how you'd see it.

nothing is evert black and white...

Value is extremely important.   But you still need the studs. 

I mean our Super Bowl was pretty much decided IMO by value vs stud.  Remmers vs Miller

I know what I post and what it invites, lol.  I wear my emotions on my sleeve, but I'm also a resonable person who appreciates valid, relevant discussions to further explore the issues.  I'll also acknowledge when i'm wrong.  And that's my point, i haven't been proven wrong, yet people are attacking me as though their side of the argument is rooted in facts.  Both sides of the argument are emotional about something, but it's easy to target my side of the argument because it's not popular.  

Some of these same idiots giving a standing ovation to every single move our FO makes were blindly doing the same thing with Hurney...  they just don't want to hear anything that doesn't fall in with the groupthink already established and adopted by the majority.

I have a group of posters chasing me from thread to thread, quoting me from other threads with pitchforks and torches, and you are reminding ME that it's because I'm emotional and reactionary?  Lol...  might wanna give that same chat to some other folks too.

Simply put, there are two sides to every argument, and the one surrounding Gettleman boils down to he is infallible and never makes mistakes because he is a professional football executive devoid of emotion  (lol) vs my strongly worded stance that he has, can, and will operate like a human being and make mistakes occasionally but overall has done a great job.  Which of those arguments sound more absurd?

Has anyone really said this, or hinted at it?

No one is attacking you, they just wonder why you are super emotional in one thread, wait a couple hours and come back with a totally different look?

Back to the subject, I don't think that offering the tag, nor pulling the tag from Josh were emotional...especially the pulling part.

Not that I will ever listen or watch to anything on ESPN ever again for life but. . my favorite line on that show was "Cmon man is this a big boy show or a middle school show - mmm kind of a middle school show"
