I have been reading a lot of the views here for awhile, I have just never been a poster, but I felt strongly about having to say something about the state of how some fans are reacting here with free agency. It has gotten so negative, I almost stopped reading peoples views, but instead, I thought I should throw mine out there.
The sky is not falling! I think we are finally seeing what every HC has been afraid to do since the retirement of Shula, clean house. We all want to win, that’s is very understandable, I do how ever realize that we have to get younger and build a team for the future, while keeping key talent in place to help the younger players. I have read were people have complained about our cap prior to all of these cuts, but then the same people are complaining because we are not signing high priced free agents to put us right back into cap hell. I don't get it? Explain that to me please.
OK, so some free agents have signed with other teams, So? there are 2nd tier talent out there that can come in a help, younger players who can be signed to smaller contracts, if they work out, great if not, no loss when hey are cut. Now I can here some of you, they garbage, they suck, they are nobodies......Really, everyone who was so hot on Kris Dielman, do you guys realize he was undrafted? There is talent out there that is undiscovered; I say we take some chances on these less known guys. Also, players can come into a different system and prosper. I can not, like most of you pretend to know every players strengths and weakness’s, and I don’t buy into the so called experts to much. So, we have to rely on Cam and Muller, that’s what their job is. So relax, let this ship run its course. I don’t know, maybe its me, or maybe being in combat has changed the way I view things, but I do know we have opportunity we have not had in years.
If you need a few examples, here are some, not sure how up to date these are, but all the same, here they are:

Then there the players we still have on the roster Alabi, Anthony, and Toledo, Joe for example. You can’t say they suck, because no one knows as of yet. So I choose to take a wait and see approach, what you do is your choice, but I am sick of the crying, at least try not to sound like it so much.
