Guard
Those who seem to be experiencing the most anguish and despair.... are those who have just realized within the last few games that Fisher is not the answer. Those who were never on board in the first place, and those who realized it within the first couple of seasons (the category I fall into), have been resigned to Kroenke's "deliberate" process. He's pretty much a hands off owner, and not prone to quick action/reaction. Some would say it's a good quality in an owner.... some will find it very frustrating. It is only now magnified, as we come to a close of another "lost" season under the same leadership, after some big moves by the team both on and off the field.... but the outcome is the same miserable results.
For me... I'm not anguished, frustrated or in despair. I'm more resigned, and emotionally detached. Until a real change in leadership is made... this is where I will reside for the time being.
Oh, I am also pretty detached emotionally. I used to know I wouldn't sleep after a Ram loss. Now, I shrug. They don't have the ability to hurt me as they used to.
Interesting points on fan responses.
I wonder, though, if those (such as myself) who have known for years that Fisher was failing aren't also prone to an emotional sense that nothing will ever change.
Well, I dunno. I'm just curious why, for many, the consensus assumption seems to be that Kroenke will re-up Fisher. To me, all signs point the other way.
Actually, I sort of expect that, going into the last couple of games, Fisher will announce his retirement. He'll make it easy on SK, 'cause Fisher always likes to remain on good terms with the powers that be. And he is smart enough to know that his way isn't working.
