It doesn't mean they hate him. And to be Frank, your opinion is truly that. Yours. Just because you don't agree with someone's opinion doesn't mean they are wrong and your opinion is fact and correct. By your logic, "none of us know anything" unless we were privyed to the actual situation. So... everyone has an opinion about something they don't know all the facts about. Argue if you want, but you'll not convince everyone you're right. And you may seem a bit pompous to some in attempting to do so.
The problem is that often that opinion isn't based in fact. Often it is based in the fanatical (hence the term fan) belief that the team must trump being professional, taking care of one's family, or simply doing one's job for fair pay.
It is a fan's perspective that has no basis in reality.

Guido's opinion, and mine, do in fact belong to us. The difference is that almost each and every time they are offered, there are accompanying facts to go along with them.

A famous phrase goes "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, no one is entitled to their own facts."

Both the opinion that Brees needs to take a short depressed contract extension and that Grayson is the next coming simply do not have any basis in fact. Brees is an elite HOF QB. There are 10 years of stats, including last year, that support that fact. The recent contracts of top 5 QBs and the current value of the QB franchise tag supports the fact that the elite QB market in 2016/2017 is near $25 million a year.

The is not one shred of supporting evidence about Grayson as a starting NFL QB.

It seems all that Guido is asking, and IMHO I agree, is exactly what is the logic in Brees signing (and I believe it's a quote that I saw) "a two year contract at $20 million/year" or that the Saints will in fact not miss a beat if Brees is gone because Grayson is looking better?

Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
