I didn't say he would improve. I said it is ridiculous for some of these posters to act like we are in trouble if Payne starts next year because it completely discounts the possibility that he could improve. It is one plausible outcome. Another plausible is that he is still barely serviceable. Either way, there is no way anyone should be making blanket assumptions like that right now. It's not fair to the kid.
Again, maybe it comes down to your misuse of the word plausible. Plausible doesn't mean it's likely. Plausible means it is one possible outcome that realistically could happen. I never said that it's likely; only that we should not discount him this early into his time in this new (to him) system.
We must have different dictionary's then.
adjective:
plausible
(of an argument or statement) seeming reasonable or probable.
"a plausible explanation"
I can happily change the word to probable if that will make you happy though. You and I seem to actually be agreeing then because of course its in the realm of possibility.
Why you were replying to me about what "other posters" said I don't know. I'm not responsible for what anyone says but myself. I was simply agreeing with the one person's opinion that those two particular players are best viewed as bench guys next year, that's all man.
