While it's true that some posters may have gone overboard with some of their comments, I think it's perfectly fair for fans to vent their frustration with the team's stubborn insistence on staying in win-now mode for far too long, while ignoring clear warning signs that continuing for forge ahead with the players they had would not lead to good results, neither in the short term nor the long term.
I don't know how anyone could have looked at, for example, the playoff loss to Colorado in '18-'19, and come away from it thinking no worries, that was a one-off, this team will eventually get things figured out in the playoffs.
And while it's true that the Johnny era ended 16 months ago when he walked in free agency, and the 14-22 core is gone, it's fair to point out that the current core wasn't built through the draft, but was instead thrown together with a trio of mega contract signings, only one of which appears to be fruitful. Again, the product of staying in win-now mode for too long (and passing on a golden opportunity to enter a rebuild in a super deep draft year).
