Homers never want to admit that they have a bad player on thier team...why do you people think we drafted two safties and brought in other FA's?

I think a lot of us are saying to give Doughty the chance to lose his job. I personally don't think Doughty is a great player, all I'm saying that the people that criticize him talk like he should be a GREAT player. I mean it's not like the team is paying him millions like Archuleta. So he's an average player, so f'ing what? Let him play, let Horton develop and take the job later in the season.

The way people talk make it sound like he's the f'ing demise of the team, which is absolutely ridiculous. When the Redskins lost to Jacksonville, people acted like Doughty was the only horrible thing that happened that day. I mean WTF did Doughty do to the fan base? Did he kick Jim Zorn in the nuts or something? People speak of him worst than they speak of Chad Johnson, T.O., and Randy Moss (when he was bad) combined. Maybe Reed should blow out his knee and be done for the season so all these haters can calm down and stop bashing the hell out of Doughty.
