Not exactly the best article, as she called Jerry Jones a likeable fellow, and implying Snyder wasn't. I realize she is biased against the Boys most of the time, but why be so thin skinned about the not so rosy analysis? I mean face it, our post Mark Rypien track record blows chunks, no matter who we drafted or acquired, and we still have to build a great O line for RG III to flourish with. On top of that our love fest with RG III is based on only his senior year. I never heard of him as being a real Heisman candidate til halfway through the season. I am not trying to be an apologist for this woman, but why always discount some critical analysis of our team? I mean the running of the franchise for the past 14 years does leave something to be desired. As you know I am from Allen Park, MI, the home of the Lions, and I naturally am surrounded by tons of Lions fans. Everyone is on my case about getting behind a new team, a lot just over the RG III deal. These guys don't have any beef with the Skins, just are solid NFL fans and think we paid too steep of a price for him. Why do we always get a collective man crush on every QB we get? I still love how most guys in here made fun of McNabb as an Eagle, but loved the move to get him(even though they should have asked why did the Eagles let a division rival take him), only to say good riddance at the end. I fell for the Ramsey pick, but had to accept he sucked at the end. RG III can be a great boon for us and actually pan out, just saying I think at this point in time, with regards to our almost two decades of overall ineptness, any criticism is somewhat justified.
