I consider this idea of \"blame distributions\" an interesting result of THIS discussion of AB. Thus, I don\'t buy this idea that nothing fruitful ever comes from the debate. I also don\'t buy the idea that it is two stubborn sides (as I belive there are as many sides as there are posters) butting heads again and again.

Agreed, and I was probably being a little short-sighted in that previous post. It\'s a bit frustrating ... this whole thing.

Those \"haters\" among us DO realize this team has other issues, we simply believe AB is part of that problem.

We\'re commonly rebuffed with, \"Well, who are we gonna get to replace him?\" A fair and valid question. Unfortunately, when we respond with the list of usual suspects - or someone new for that matter - we\'re commonly told how disastrous the consequences would be. Many of us \"haters\" just think we could get someone of AB\'s caliber cheaper, so why not do that and spend the money on improvements elsewhere?

There are positive results to the perpetual AB debate, and this thread has been one of the few to prove that. I suppose I was throwing out a pre-emptive ... my fault. I\'ve never said AB doesn\'t have his merits ... only that we could get the same results for less cash.

If a 12-pack of Coke is $5.00 and a 12-pack of Pepsi is $2.50, are you gonna get the Coke - and go home hungry - or grab the Pepsi and a bag of Doritos? I\'m gonna be eating some chips, myself ... but folks may do as they like.
