If he had of said style wise as a comparable, that would have been fine but he didn't.

Honestly think you'd rather be right then have him succeed. You're not the first person to be in this situation.

I guess this is why people hate to make prospect comparable, because when they make them and the prospect doesn't live up to the expectations, critics come back and say they were dead wrong.
