Again - it isn't the banner that is doing the legwork. The banner is a rallying cry for the public to get behind. It's the public that's doing the damage here.

Patteeu is right - this isn't a front office that's parsing our words like lawyers in an attempt to give us what we, the banner demons, want. That has never been the purpose this banner has served.

It's purpose has been as a lightning rod for the public. It's used a deft touch in delivering a message without alienating the masses.

Once we become a big !@#$ing Mel Kiper in the sky, the masses are going to be more turned off by it.

Keep the public on our side here and the way to do that is through focusing on the 'hope' aspect of it and not the demands.

This idea that "draft a QB" divides the fanbase but "fire Pioli" doesn't is pure unadulterated bullshit.

Because lord knows that I've spoken out vociferously against drafting a QB in the first round.

Through this thread I've decided that ILChief is kindof an idiot.

Look, I understand the idea that #2 flows better, or it's a more positive message. If that's your opinion, I'm cool with that.

But don't sit here and tell me #1 is divisive, pushy, or anything else when we've ALREADY FLOWN A BANNER stating "FIRE PIOLI".

We didn't even say "please". If being divisive, pushy, or anything else was against the rules, we already broke them.
