I listen to KC radio pretty much all the time when I'm awake. The average fan isn't anything like it is here.

Fair point, the Planet has a mind of its own. There was some meltdown-age around here about Vrabel.

I still say that the average fan does not excuse a GM for missing on a QBOTF. If Denver got Cassel and he did well with the Broncs the response would be "we should have done that." If Sanchez, Stafford, or one of the rumored trade QBs like Leinart, Quinn, etc., get traded and do well people will say we should have drafted/traded for them. It always happens.

I'm not suggesting the fanbase would completely excuse him if Sanchez or Stafford flamed out. I'm suggesting they would be MORE pissed if Cassel, his hand-picked starter, flames out.

More forgiving than "completely livid" <> "forgiving"
