[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 548933, member: 9033"] First, in relation to your question about my point; the availability of information and the ease with which many people can interact with one another means that people are exposed to a far more diverse array of opinions than they were in the 70's or 80's. So it may seem like fans criticize more today than they did 30+ years ago, it's really only because there's more information to form an opinion on and 30+ years ago you really only got exposure to this type of conversation from people you hung out with, who most likely shared your opinions (and if not then you just had good-natured conversations about it). Your sarcasm on the internet is completely misplaced. Yeah, it's a fact that people today have access to FAR MORE information than people did 30 years ago. So in that sense, people today DO know more. That's a far cry from making someone smarter though. Trying to claim that people today don't have access to more information today than 30 years ago is like saying that the Pony Express delivered mail just as well as the USPS.... As for your point on Clemons; this is a fan board. If the requirement for discussing anything football related is that the poster knows more than 32 NFL teams, this forum would be pretty empty. I'm getting the sense that you would just prefer that everyone assume the front office is doing everything right? The front office screws up. It's a fact. The Packers were a disaster at safety last year. Maybe if the Packers had signed Mike Mitchell last year to a one-year, $1m contract (same contract he signed with the Panthers) the season could have gone better. Instead, the front office trusted in young players making strides and it didn't work out. It's completely reasonable to wonder if signing an established, solid safety like Clemons might be a smart move on the part of the Packers. It would stabilize one of the weakest positions on the team, wouldn't cost a ton and would allow the Packers more freedom in the upcoming draft. [/QUOTE]
