Shanahan could have traded away Campbell without having to grab McNabb. Since Campbell was in a contract year, it would be better than letting him walk for nothing or re-signing a QB whose stock was only going down. Jason Campbell was deemed insufficient to pilot this offense, and they got whatever little value he had left.

Your arrogance is pathetic. Unlike you, I don't need to use big words on a message board and brag about my intelligence to feel good about myself. Because if I did, I'd be the simpleton. Sad.

I don't use "big words" for the sake of using them nor do I give a crap about feeling good in such a manner. I simply try to apply certain concepts I learned. That is all. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in fleshing out the concepts. Fine, that's on me to rectify.

You could have just said you agree with the decision not let Campbell go, yet they failed to find a replacement. Yet you use terms like "utility" that no one uses in everyday conversation the way you did, and you consistently come across as arrogant and as if we're all beneath you.

It's not the points you make, it's the manner in which you attempt to make them. Grates on the nerves, and I'm not the only one who feels that way. Just an FYI. I'm sure you don't care, though.

Admittedly, I do hold people to a unrealistic standard of understanding it on the first go(maybe because understanding some things come rather quickly for myself), and then I get frustrated and treat them poorly. I can't guarantee a complete 180 from that, but I'll make a concerted effort to get my point across better and not be such an ass to talk to.

If you want to deliver on the second point in bold, then try to refrain from making statements like the first one in bold.

My apologies, I did not intend it that way. It's an admission and diagnosis of myself. It is not meant to show that I am "top dog". I have met folks who are more brilliant than I, and despite my aura I have presented myself here, I actually consider myself not that great of a mind.

The only actually intelligent and incisive thing you have said in the entire thread.

I cringe reading the way you torture the english language ... what did it ever do to you???

I do not know what that is.

I am simply taking measures to improve my communication here.
