So when someone says they hate a player, does that make you hope they fail so that it justifies your position? Something like that would not make you a real fan.
I don't hate any player. I might not like the way some play or feel they live up to their billing. I would put Floyd in the latter category. I don't think he's been worthy of where he was picked and I don't buy into this coverage skills thingy justifying the selection when everyone knows he was drafted to get sacks. Now that said, I hope he has a monster season to help the team win. I'd rather change my position on Floyd than have him continue to suck so that I could justify my position to people on a message board.
For those that hate Pace, do you want the team to suck so you can rant about how bad he is and try to make yourself look smart? I'd bet the answer to that is "yes" but people would never admit it.
