So we should give enroth even more rope than the 5 games we gave Andersen a mulligan for?
If I buy something for cheap that I don't have high expectations for, and that thing fails to live up to those lowered expectations, I might give up on it fairly quickly.
If I buy something that feels like a hefty investment, something I need and need to perform well, and that thing fails to live up to expectations at first, I might give it more time to turn around its performance, because I've invested so much into it and I have a stronger desire for that hoped-for performance at the time of purchase to become reality.
I think I understand where you're coming from, in the simple terms that the more you're invested in something, the more accountable you should hold it. I think you have to look at each situation through a bit of a vacuum to determine which thought process makes more sense, but when you're talking about two guys playing two different roles with two wildly different contracts and expectations, I'm inclined to show more patience to the one I have higher expectations for.
