I just get tired of people bashing the team, coaches, FO, Snyder that do not know "for a fact" what they are bashing him for is even correct. So if we are going bash them we should know the facts before doing so. Like you said we really have no way of knowing unless we were in the meatings so I stand by my first comment. People here have bashed the FO on the stupid rumors that have come from all kinds of sources about trade rumores that ended up just being rumors.

I agree.

I think some people are way too quick to jump all over rumors and take them as fact. Given the history of the way this front office operates it's understandable... to a point. But in the end all rumors should be treated as rumors until more info is known.
