Actually I was questioning why you are voicing that opinion. It's fine to feel whatever you feel. However it helps to understand why you feel that way.

I say evidence because that what I do. I tell you what I think, then bring in some facts to support why I think that way. You can refute the opinion, and you can refute the evidence too. But it at least brings something to the table to discuss.

Simple example. Here's my opinion:

Marques Colston will not catch another pass in the 2006 season.

Most folks would have a problem with that opinion. Most would point out that the kid is near the top of the league in catches, yards, and tied for TD. Many would point out that when he became the number 1 WR on the field last week, he stepped up with 11 catches and 123 yards, and a TD.

That's evidence. Evidence to refute the argument.

So while my (and your) opinion are certainly there for us to make, it helps to bring something to the table to support it.

It's not arrogance. It's a discussion. At least that's how I feel about it.
