I don't think he truly believes that Jerry or the scouts are "vindicated" after one game. I think he just enjoys winding people up. :whistle
My position has ALWAYS been "Screw your snap judgement and Jerry hate - wait and see whether or not the ACTUAL plan on the field works". Realists weren't having that after some shaky preseason games with Arkin and Dockery the backup to the backup of the backup plan. Now they want to wait and see. Predictable.
