I think SS made a good point regarding our impatience vs. reality. Skins' fans refuse to go through a "rebuilding" phase that includes major overhauls of staff, player and philosophical overhauls that lead to consecutive top-10 draft seasons. I don't call the last decade or so of bad-mediocre seasons "rebuilding", as so much as we were restocking... some of those seasons just had records similar to inexperienced teams.

We blame Snyder when he meddles, when he pulls the trigger too fast, when he makes big splashes. We blame the team when they don't make changes. We blame the rookies when they're not performing at Pro-Bowl levels their first year. Maybe Snyder is just a reflection of us. If any of us were in his position, the fanbase would still be looking for blood. Maybe we're the problem?
