The Infamous "I TOLD YOU SO!" Thread

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Looking back over the years, what is something you emphatically stated, predicted, or strongly argued for or against that has proven correct over time and which you could say, "I told you so!"

The only one I can think of, and am not totally sure the discussion was on this board, was a debate as to who you would prefer to have and would be considered th best WR, Larry Fitzgerald or Antonio Brown. At the time Brown looked all world with the Steelers, but I argued for Fitz. I argued the fact that Fitz's longevity still topped Brown's few years of stardom. You couldn't say Brown was better or more valuable until he did it for more years, as Larry had. I think history proved me correct and to those who thought me blind at the time, I think I can now say, "I told you so!"

Way back in the day we went 3-0 but were utter garbage. Sadly I was right when I slammed Tango for proclaiming us as having arrived. I think we finished 4-12 or 5-11.

Edit: Looking back, it was a 4-2 start in 2003. We finished 5-11. I think we went 3-0 when I was in high school, then went on to get creamed, and thus the confusion. But that was well before message boards and predictions

Edit Edit: It was either '89 or '91 I'm (mis)remembering, when we started 2-0 each of those two seasons.

Boldin: I knew he’d be great. Losing him was one of the Cards’ worst acts since they moved to AZ.

one of those years didnt we win all our PS games then start out 4-0 only to end up 5-11??? I vaguely remember an interview with an opposing player and he mentions we are basically 8-0 since we won all the PS games.

Drafting Robert Bustdiche!!!

I said he wasn’t a 1st rounder months before the draft based on his college production & hype. I still remember being ripped repeatedly after year 1, year 2, year 3 as some posters kept saying “this is the year”. Lol

Overhyped in college, non productive in the NFL

Mine can't be talked about here, But look it up in P&R if you're bored.

It had to do with Nice (France) and pew pew control.

He was great. But reports said he was promised "Larry" money and the Cards could not deliver by putting that much cash into the WR position, so they paid Larry and sent Q off to Baltimore (a great place for him). Larry and Q were a deadly combination and thusly gave the 3rd receiver a chance to shine. i.e. Breaston, or anyone else for that matter.

he wasn’t promised Larry money he wanted Larry money. He’s was very jealous of Fitz. He wanted to be number 1.

cardinals made the right choice

I thought that the Cardinals should have tried to trade for Calais Campbell when he was still playing for the Jaguars.

The Ravens ended up giving only a 5th round draft pick to get him.

I mean there’s a reason he was traded for a 5th round pick.

Russell Wilson, I had him ranked above Luck and RG III
