Because whipping boys polarize. Once you make that status there is no coming back. It doesn't matter what you do, how positive a contribution you make, you're the whipping boy and everything you do is wrong. I mean, his diet is even wrong to one poster!
Seriously, Joe Colborne is one of the smaller problems facing this team. With contracts like Wideman, Englelland, Smid, Stajan, and to a lesser extent Bouma, on the team, Colborne is not a big deal. He can play in more situations than most on the team and he is way more effective that his detractors like to say. Colborne is a 3rd line player, and if he is paid like one the complaints should disappear. Will they? No. Because Colborne has achieved the whipping boy status.
