Before you make fun of the fans that get mad, remember it was Gman who made his comments.

About "stepping up in class " and not "having to shop at the dollar tree." because this year "we are better off financially." I see a lot of people make fun of the fans that get mad at Gman for not signing notable FAs. You can't get mad at the 6 year old kid when it was his own daddy that said "now son, last Christmas times were tough, but because daddy is in better financial shape this Christmas, we can now step up in class in terms of Christmas gifts." You can't blame the 6 year old when he is disappointed on Christmas morning when he gets a Xbox 360 when it was Daddy who led him to believe that this year will be the Xbox one.

Yes previous years when Gman would come out and flat out say we are cap challenged and won't be making any moves then the people that expected big moves deserved to be disappointed. This year is different, Gman is the one that gave fans hope with his own words. Just saying

Expectations are already too high.

Are you saying Ginn is the 360?

Stepping up in class is different than pissing away money on high priced guys. I thought he made it clear that we're not out of the woods yet, but we are in a little better shape. It's on you if you assume that means we're going to sign high priced guys or make a big splash.

How about we not piss away money even when we're ok?

OfcoursecI didn't expect a Maclin, Cobb of Suh but a Torrey Smith I thought was reasonable

Rather not overpay like eagles and dolphins, and be in cap hell with Cam, Luke, Star and Short extensions coming up.

Gman will sign players if they have a good value and don't jeopardise our future.

He also said very clearly that he wasn't going to spend all our money on a couple of big name free agents, but I guess we ignore that when we put words in GMan's mouth around here.
