There's a difference in the Lavar saga vs the Brunell/Ramsey situation. In the Brunell/Ramsey controversy fans either sided with Brunell or Ramsey (one player or another).. In this Lavar situation fans sided with a player Lavar or the Team. Those like myself that sided with the team didn't take this opinion because we felt Lavar sucked or the Holdman was a better athlete. The reason I sided with the team/coaches is they have proven they KNOW WHAT THERE DOING!!!
For example Moss for Coles we thought they were crazy....
Brunell starting over Ramsey we thought they were crazy...
Bottom their not crazy and is why Gibbs is in the HOF.
Lavar kicked ass yesterday im happy to say. Im not rooting against him! I am rooting for the Skins and well never know if holding Lavar out was the right decision or not. Who knows maybe it was his fault for the two TD's runs on his side and GW put him back on the pine. I hope not.
I think it could also be said that with the Brunell situation, people were choosing to side with the team in the decision to start Brunell over Ramsey. I know that's the perspective I was coming from. I trust that this staff is doing everything in the best interest of the TEAM, and all this individual player BS that we as fans get all riled up about is meaningless to them. It's about the team, that's why GW had the stones to sit down his star LB, and that's why Gibbs had the stones to yank Ramsey so quickly and go back to Brunell.
In both situations, many fans were very vocal in their disapproval, and in both situations many people questioned the character and integrity of the coaches, which to me is absolutely absurd.
There's nothing wrong with questioning the decision making process, but what I have a problem with is when fans get personal and bring into question the coaches' character & integrity. To me that's just crossing the line and is completely unnecessary.
