*Miller Takes Aim at Awards Voters, Ring Chasers

Or I might consider the fact that a high profile FA wanted to play QB, which Colorado needed, and yet they weren't interested in getting him, even though it meant adding a top tier earner to a team lacking activity.

Slight correction to this, since I'm that FA - we had very good, lengthy and professional talks with the current GM and I'm sure @dropbear is the right person to lead the Yeti.
When we engaged further in those talks Micycle McCormick operation already happened so adding me in QB role would only add dead weight to the budget. We ended talks in good mood, while I didn't decide to join them I certainly know more about the team and respect them. Hopefully, a least once we'll meet in the Ultimus Finals if so it happens that my career doesn't drive me to play for Colorado one day.

I also dislike bashing on teams, it is just pushing your own agenda that way (without any good will like offering advice for them to improve, not saying this is the case, but I've heard far to many times opinions about dead LR, without trying to fix that, not even in the case of Yeti) whether private or public and it's often an automatic no-no for me to go to the location that engages in such practices.

On the other hand, Applehort had full right to free agency and exercised them, nobody denied him that. But to not expect backslash after leaving the team dry he was part of management in the past, even more so to the team that is current favorite, juggernaut, and long-time conference rival? The negative reaction happens in real sports too and is rather cool and fun part of having underdog mentality and basic need for the feel-good story.
It's always easier to leave for greener pastures than stay, focus and build something up from past failures if you want to achieve personal success and collect accolades. Don't expect sympathy that way from any other team than the one you decided to join, just think how weird that would be?
