Quote:Problem is, even TMD doesn't think he's the best player or one of the best players in the draft.  He will continue to claim he does, but it's very clear he's slowly realizing that Teddy really isn't the prospect he thought he was.

 

Ya know I dont really see why he or anyone else should be afraid to change one's opinion.  You base your initial opinion based on the facts you know at that time.  When you acquire more facts, they may contradict your original thought so your opinion changes.  

 

Maybe its embarassing to admit your initial and current opinion are based on the evaluations of others?  I have no problem admitting that my opinion of Teddy has gone down a little(even considering it was never that high to begin with) and that my opinion of Manziel has gone up a little after hearing/reading all the pro's and con's of each argued by experts who know more than I do.  You read something Mayock says.  You hear something a scout says.  If its a good point you hadnt thought of, why wouldnt you alter your opinion?  Nothing "stupider" than clinging to a bad opinion because of nothing more than pride.
