This is pethetic, you are quite the hypocrite, you are just as bad as they are, you are the grand poobah of pessimism,:cap: the Sir Knight of Negitivity.:horsey:
Pot meet Kettle.
I understand that Feeley is inexperiance and I agree that some are going overboard with optimisim, but for everyone of those there is a "Feeley sucks" or "Feeley is nothing but a backup." When in reality no one knows what the final outcome will be, not you, not me.
No offensive coordinator? Again how do you know that this guy isn't capible of doing the job? You see that he's never been a OC before and you're scared he may fail, so you choose to pass judgement on him and he hasn't even called a play yet. :shakeno:
Patchwork line, well what can you do besides hold a gun to Tate and Woody's head and hold their families hostage until they agree to play for the Fins.
I agree the line is not exactly stable, there is a 2nd year player at LT who got schooled at times last year, but who's to say he won't improve with the added weight and a year of experiance? I hope he does. Jeno James is an upgrade on paper, then you have Mckinney Carey and ________(fill in name here).
To me the OL is the biggest of concerns.
As far as the "negative people" having more substance behind there opinions, well that's just ridiculous, the pesimists embellish just as much as the optimists can.
Where you lose crediblity with me is (not that you care), is that there are some unknown issues with the team such as OC, OL and QB and instead of taking an objective look at it you choose to only see the possible downsides. You crucify people that are overly optimistic as you try and ram your narrow minded opinion down their throats.
Don't confuse objectivity with your perception of reality, because as blissfull as the optimist is in what he/she views as reality, you are on the complete opposite side of the spectrum. You would rather wollow in a quagmire of Hopelessness crying "whoa is me, for I am a discouraged Dolphin fan who sees the true darkness of despair." There is no possiblilty of success because the people YOU deem as untalented or inexperianced have absolutely NO chance of improving or learning.
Nobody is born to be a QB or OC or anything else for that matter, Holmgren Martz, Shannahan, Parcells, Biileck Bellicheck, Shula, Laundry, Walsh, were all position coaches at one time, there isn't a magic light around them that shows that they are special.
When the 49ers hired Walsh and drafted Montana they didn't KNOW they would become a dynasty! They hoped they would have success, and they liked what they saw, and it worked out, but if it didn't guess what? We'd ALL be laughing at the ineptitude of the 49er franchise.
Maybe Feeley will bomb, Maybe Foerster will be the next Kippy Brown, or maybe we have a couple of gems but how in the Fu#k do you know unless you give them a chance first! No one is asking you to blow sunshine up our a$$es on every post but hell get some objectivity, I'd give you a few bucks to buy some if it were possible.
You know what? hind site is 20/20 but foresite is luck and personal opinion.
And for the over optimistic superbowl predictors, just switch it all around and it applies to you as well.
:goodnight
