No, it hasn't.
I said this same exact thing last night: You cannot ask the fans of a franchise that's had ONE winning season in the last six and no playoff wins in 20 years to "Be patient while we develop a guy we hope can become a playoff and possible Super Bowl winner".
You can't. You'd have 40,000+ no shows each week (just like the 80's and the latter half of 2012), you'd have a pissed off an apathetic fan base (you know, the people that actually BUY tickets and attend the games) and you'd run the risk of losing your base for years on end.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Clark Hunt instructed Reid and Dorsey to do whatever it takes this offseason to put a respectable football team on the field in 2013 and build towards the future in 2014.
Every move they've made confirms it.
