There were others though, that were absurd and couldn't see the forest for all of the trees. I have seen steady development and a guy growing on the fly, others said he had reached his ceiling, he was 20th or worse, blah, blah. I think you and I, along with a handful of others, were the only ones that could OBJECTIVELY discuss Andy on the mothership. I always had him pegged for 12th to 15th, and I thought that was pretty damn good for 2nd rounder out of TCU who came in as a rookie with no OTAs, a talented but YOUNG surrounding cast, and a change of coordinators mid stream during his development.
This. Although I saw last season as a set-back in his development I attributed to 'The Mash Unit.'
I saw his development and potential may be a little higher than some - and came here stating as such - to be ripped as "A Troll."
I'm NOT a homer. I used to get into it w/ others on the old boards and I was on the other side of the fence. I lost the sig bet Dalton's first year and had to sport that terrible Richard Simmons rainbow sig. That's some credentials that separate me from the over the top 'Homer' crowd. When I have reasons to be optimistic - I am. When I have reasons to be pessimistic - I am. I don't blame anyone else here for not knowing that about me - I don't really expect anyone to know or care that much about what I post. I'm just glad the pieces are coming together that the folks that were calling to sit Dalton and start AJ are silenced (much like the crowd asking for Kenny Anderson to be benched - early in the very same year he led that team to The Super Bowl).
