What is John Claytons problem???

Unfortunately for him, and all the other "paper prognosticators, the games are played ON THE FIELD........not on paper. Accordingly, those paper predictions are a waste of the paper they're printed on.

All that said, try to cut John a little slack. Have you seen him lately? He's a very sickly looking boy... Perhaps that may explain his bouts of delirium?!

All predictions are based on past performances. In sports, they correlate it with draft picks, who they think will contribute immediately, and free agents acquisitions.

The problems: young players may improve, coaches can learn, older players can decline, and average players can out perform, as well as, under perform. Sometimes, they even predict who will do the above for the next year. A supposition based on a supposition.

As someone noted, no one likes to be wrong. Losing to the Ravens like we did, only gave a breathe of new life that they won't be wrong.

Another problem is people give them far toomuch credit for their opinion. A sportswriter has no more the observation skills than I possessed. A former player can draw upon his own experiences, but he still only observing. There is no reason to get all hyped up when they say great or bad things about any team. Think about it, how often do you wonder if you are watching the same game as the "analyst?"
