I too have noticed a little hypocrisy on the media's part. After years of being the Offseason Champs, this season we made a lot of smart, sensible, financially wise moves to rebuild the core of the football team. We didn't go for flash, we went from hard workers who were going to come in a work their asses off to netter the football team.

But all I hear anyone talking about is 1.) how John Beck might be our quarterback (and I've already expressed how I feel about the media blasting a guy for wanting a job), and 2.) how we resigned Santana Moss, signed Stallworth and traded for Gaffney.

There's no mention of how many other guys we signed under age thirty. Despite all reports that Trent has like much improved in camp and is in shape, all I hear is about how much of a question mark he is and how bad he was and how we made no moves to improve our offensive line (wrong), and how we didn't find enough weapons (wrong) and we're still adding 4-3 personnel to our 3-4 defense (wrong) and how we haven't done enough to improve, and why didn't we go out and spend money to get better guys.

Spend money, get criticized. Don't spend money, get criticized. Might as well get used to it.
