Well let's see...Vaccaro's view vs Lofton's view


2012 when there were obvious problems with Spags...they "handled it in house" which Lofton WAS HERE FOR, nobody said anything public about it, not a peep until the season was already over, and how did that turn out for them? Uh, worst defense in history. And every individual player on that defense gets that tag, whether they individually earned it or not. Including Mr. "handle it in house" Lofton.

Then the so-called "Bountygate," let's see....again they handled it "in house" and nobody (except Vilma) said anything to the media....we got hit with suspensions all around for everybody, fines, only Goodell's distorted and incomplete version of the story got told, and some dudes never played a meaningful down of football again after Goodell got through with them...it cost the team draft picks and momentum and lord knows what else....

So while I appreciate guys wanting to create a wall and have "locker room" solidarity, I don't think it really pays off in the modern era, in every situation.

And having lived through this *$%#$ before, as a paying ticket holder I would rather have people talk openly, and tell it like it is, and do something to rip off the band-aid or BREAK THE SPELL of suckage, rather than have no one tell us what's really going on, until the train has already wrecked for this year and possibly next.
