But this is what fans do.
There's absolutely no benefit in down valuing the players we brought in to replace the players that left. Every fan base does it. So, what’s the problem? That they may not be the players that left? Maybe. Maybe not. That’s sports.
As for Buck, well he has spent a lot of time learning and probably applying what he’s learned from LaPo.
We did question LaPo, not for his schemes, but for his play calling. Will it be different under Pierce? Who knows, but it’s exciting in the fact that he’s new and an experienced QB and he knows the team.
McGuire will be just fine. This staff definitely acts and reacts differently than past regimes. We already know they’re better suited for the long run. They like McGuire. So do us fans from what we’ve seen of him.
All together, it’s not a problem until there is a problem. We don’t have to manufacture one in preseason. There’ll be plenty of second guessing when the season starts.
But for now, we can enjoy the optimism without feeling trepidation. Us ‘folks’ will let you handle that part.
As to comparing to Rider fans, you’re just wrong. We can recognize the differences. They, and you apparently, cannot.
