Hess, I am all for having a positive winning attitude, being blind to what is broken is not a positive winning attitude -- that is weakness.

It is "too late" to do what a GM does -- make personnel moves that will have an impact on the field.

Regardless of the trade deadline, there is no trade that will help this team this year. That ship has sailed. Signing Vincent is about as good as it is going to get.

And oh, by the way....

The GM generally doesn't have any say in how much someone runs the ball or who starts.

The GM buys the car and the coach drives it.

I'm fully aware of the Skins issues, believe me.. You guys do a GREAT job of figuring it all out and discussing our weaknesses. I just try to interject with positive thoughts any chance I get. I'm the cheerleader...
