people are ready to pull the trigger and take a chance. IMO both points of view are respectable. What it boils down to for me is that everybody should understand that Bronco has at least until the end of next year no matter what anyone thinks (unless he completely loses the team or something).

Given that, it should be clear to the most casual observer, IMO, that heavy criticism should be withheld until the middle of next season. If next season sucks, it isn't like the opposition will have needed additional time to build a sufficient groundswell.
