If one's devotion to this team is measured in terms of the amount of criticism directed towards one or more of its players, based on some of the remarks I've seen over the relatively short period of time I've been a member of this forum, I dare say that there'd be a mass exodus of 'skins fans, were said detractors prone to subscribe to your philosophy.

That said, I've been a "real fan" of the Redskins for darned close to forty years now, and I've seen nothing thus far that would warrant my defection, quarterback selection notwithstanding.

This forum is all ABOUT opinions - and while you no doubt have heard the familiar saying about them - everyone's got one, most of 'em stink - we're ALL entitled to them, and within the boundaries of proper decorum, entitled to share them.

If you find my opinions that objectionable, I respectfully suggest that you consider blocking them.

You failed to catch two points:
1) JC is our qb this year and that is not going to change. If you are going to cheer for the Redskins, that means cheering for JC. Tearing JC down serves no purpose because his presence will not change.

2) These forums are for intelligent critiques. Intelligent critiques in the spirit of conversation are more than welcome. Even JC's biggest supporters here have criticized JC at some point or another. So it is not about "mindless obeisance."

But you do not offer intelligent critiques. You say stupid things and then ignore all evidence to the contrary. You refuse to listen to others. Therefore it is you who are inhibiting intelligent conversation here and that is why you heard (but did not listen to) the statements of exasperation. With your inability to listen to evidence which contradicts your shallow opinions, it is you who are engaging in "mindless obeisance" - that is, you pay mindless obeisance to your half-baked opinions. I congratulate you on your unintelligent narcissism.

Wow. Bada-bing! I think everyone should just follow my example and try to get along.

I would gladly accept your congratulations on my unintelligent narcissism if I had any idea what in blue freaking blazes that was.

And by the way, the word I used was obedience, not obeisance. The two terms are not synonymous.
