Quote: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.  If its a good point you hadnt thought of why wouldnt you alter your opinion?  Thats dumb.

 

I fully agree.  Problem is with TMD, he has spent months and months b1tching about the fact we're not tanking for Teddy.  He has been very vocal and argumentative when it comes to Teddy.  People months ago would say "I'm not sold on Teddy" or "let's just enjoy these wins and we'll see what happens in the draft" to which TMD responded in his usual manner, how Jaguars fans don't know what they're talking about, how we need a QB badly, how the Texans will draft him now and then we'll be losers for another decade, etc.

 

He's not a reasonable person.  

 

 

Now, if you come out now and say "I had Bridgewater very high, but the more I watched him and the more I learned about him, the less I like him"... I would applaud you for that.  Changing your mind is a good thing.

 

A person like TMD changing his mind about something like Teddy would be such a LOL moment though.  Spend months and months crying and whining and hoping we tank and figuring out conspiracy theories how the Texans tanked on purpose to draft Teddy all for nothing.
