When popular players leave, people focus on their negatives because they are pissed or upset they left or that the FO didn't find a way to make it work out. Just like anything in life. If a someone gets dumped, they tend to talk sh!t about thier ex, even if they had a chance to make it work by changing their life in some way. It's an emotional response. It is right and do people really wish harm on these guys? I don't think so. Give it some time. I'm glad other people care so much about the Skins to get upset over things like that...and I'm sure the Redskins are too.
On here the response has been kind of 50/50, but I was listening to WTEM the other day, and you'd have thought we lost the best players we ever had....I wanted to rip out my car stereo and throw it out the window listening to these people whining and trashing the Skins FO. Personally, I thought it was more important to try to keep Pierce, but felt more "hurt" when Smoot left, just because of his personality, attitude, and the effort he gave. But guess what? The Skins will move on, and I don't think losing those two guys will make this team worse than 6-10....some people seem to forget that we had a losing season. And I don't blame either of them for doing what they feel is best for them, whether I agree with it or not.
As for Coles, he can go f#ck himself. For delaying the trade agreement until after him forfeiting the $5 mil would help this years cap, and then not doing it at all, putting the Skins in a cap bind (even though it helps for 2006). I hope he stubs his bad toe in pre-season and can't play at all next season.
