This morning I realized just how great his decisions have been since 2010ish as a GM. Really, he has made very few mistakes relative to the AVG GM. On draft day we have been a top 3 team in the league.
In Jerry we trust.
Brian, I am offering this bit of advice as someone who has a lot more experience in the world around us than you do. Please take it as nothing more than that, advice.
Your penchant for making rash statements comes across just like reporters who get an idea, post a tweet or article hoping to be hailed as right, and then defend it despite backlash only to abandon the subject when proven wrong.
This is what you have done in the past with regards to Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, professional wrestling, and I am sure I am forgetting some things. Yes, I do still know that you think Miles Austin could have been great. It was the amount of greatness you heaped upon him that made you wrong in the first place.
This proclamation by you really isn't much different. You're going to get battered for it. You're likely to stand your ground stubbornly because of that. You'll hope to be proven right, and if proven wrong, you'll handily forget this. Just like you have previous topics mentioned.
You don't have the experience necessary to defend rash statements. Because of that, you lose a lot of respect that might be given to you based on your passion and youth. Thus you lose twice as much as you should.
We all make rash statements from time to time. I'm not putting you on an island by yourself. The difference is you've already created a persona that is hard to overcome without more life experience than you have.
