The logic of "Andy playing well in 2015 means that you guys were wrong about him in 2011-2014!!!" is stupid and makes absolutely zero sense. Unless you're pointing that at the total of 4 people that said that he'll NEVER improve, then it doesn't make sense to throw around to guys like myself.
Andy was average from 2011 - 2014. Andy is great right now. Andy playing great doesn't mean I'm wrong about him being average 4 years ago. I don't like when people say stupid things, and that's a stupid thing that people keep saying
What you're seeing is (although possibly misdirected towards you ) a response to the notion that he was terrible all along and that all of this wasn't just a part of his progression and growing pains. Some of us felt that was exactly the case.....others said he was doo doo , period. Well....they were wrong then , and they still are. I saw things in his play , work ethic , and certain intangibles that led me to believe that he would improve quite substantially over the coming years. I'd be lieing if I said I asserted that he would ever be elite. He's playing at the elite level now.....all he has to do is sustain to be in the conversation.
