Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3168518, member: 9326"] It honestly strikes me as so odd that you seemingly never learned to have the life skills to be able to see things as anything other than absolutely black or absolutely white. How is it that you as a grown adult can still struggle so badly to wrap your head around the concept that Seibold was BOTH shit at his job but also that he had the best intentions and very likely gave it the best shot he could? It isn’t like those two things are mutually exclusive or there is some unbreakable law of the universe where both those things can’t be true at the same time. It’s actually quite childlike to not understand the difference. I play quite a bit of cricket and have done for a number of years. Cricket is a big part of my life. Let’s imagine for a moment Justin Langer picks up the phone tomorrow morning and let’s me know I’ll be opening the batting for Australia this coming Boxing Day. I could probably spend every waking moment between now and December 26 in the nets, getting better Coaching and working relentlessly on my game and even after all that, the best I can probably hope for is edging a loose ball through the slips cordon before I’m inevitably sent packing back to the pavilion. Objectively, no one could question that I had the best of intentions. No one could question that I made every effort possible to be successful, but ultimately I was just not qualified, not good enough and shouldn’t have been entrusted with the job. I didn’t let anyone down through indifference or a desire to make things worse, I just wasn’t up to the task even trying my very best. It is absolutely possible for both those things to be true at the same time. If you can’t honestly grasp that the same applies in Seibold’s case at the Broncos, then I do honestly feel sorry for you that you were never taught those sort of critical thinking skills at some point.
