[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 696715, member: 7171"] There's a closely related phenomenon. That a guy cannot improve either. What some critics capture as an observation that's taken at a particular moment in time is then etched in stone: Bakhtiari couldn't get better. Adams and Janis cannot get better. Rollins and Randall will not ever be worthy of their draft status. Cobb is worthless. Lane Taylor is a turnstile, Matthews cannot become good again, etc., etc. and variations thereof. Followed by endless negative nit-picking about their performances. Paradoxically, "explanations" occur when a favorite whipping boy actually does manage to do something good at a clutch moment, ie. faced bad competition, blind luck, only did well because of the players around them, or they'll never be able to do it again so it's just an anomaly that can be ignored. The Bakhtiari monotone has ceased. Finally. At least for the moment it has. The Adams controversy has taken a softer tone this season, too, despite his recent drops. Matthews may even look better these days than all the guys cut and claimed by K.C. It's too bad that trigger opinions are nearly impervious to second year jumps, experience, opportunity, perseverance, coaching, athletic ability, good health and other contributing factors to improvement. Not everyone does this but plenty of us on the forum have been guilty of this one time or another. [ATTACH=full]3708[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
