AJ had what not played football for a year and a half and not the same player he was but I don't personally feel was used the best in 2020 but that's another debate. Now for Dunlap he certainly wasn't washed up but maybe not the player he was but he certainly was not checked out mentally. If he was he wouldn't have been so upset with the benching he would just sit on the sidelines and collect his money. I think his beef was the coaches didn't have the sack/respect enough to sit down and talk to him about the situation. Who wouldn't be after 10 years and putting in the kind of work these guys do.
All of this is based on speculation though. The only thing we know is that he wanted out for whatever reason, and he played much better when he left. You can debate whether that was lack of effort or poor scheme fit, but none of that is Zac's fault.
Just as it wasnt Marv's fault he couldn't get Takeo or Corey to buy in. That often happens with tenured vets during a regime change.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
