I have an idea of what he means. I hope this helps.
 
Last year we had a debate about whether the Dome had been properly used over the years as an ideal place for a high-powered passing attack. You felt that it had not been underused and listed a lot of talented quarterbacks and receivers we'd had over the years. I started talking about BYU and all the success they'd had throwing the ball. They appearred to have a system that worked. Why couldn't we be like them?  Then you said that we couldn't do what BYU did because we didn't have the talent necesary to do so. I referred to you prior post listing all the talented quarterbacks and receivers that we had. Then you stated that those weren't the type of quarterbacks and receivers who could run the BYU offense. You said that the East doesn't produce the kind of talent needed for the BYU offense. I made a list of the BYU quarterbacks. A couple made it big in the NFL: Steve Young, Jim McMahon. But most of them were only successful at BYU. And Steve Young went to high school in Connecticut. And there have been many top quarterbacks form the East: Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Joe Namath. The debate kind of petered out after that.
 
The point is that your opinion, that the Dome had not been underused for the passing game, didn't change. But your arguments in defending that positon did, (we had a lot of good quarterbacks and receiver...we don't have enough talent to do what BYU does because the East doesn't produce players like that, etc.).  I think that's what he means by the narrative changing while the opinion doesn't.
