I've been consistent. I didn't roast the FO for not extending him. I figured he and his agent were probably trying to get paid top dollar based on his play last year. I wanted to see more before making that type of commitment, because we have a lot of great young talent that will eventually need extended.
Sure enough, he's been a flop this year, to be blunt about it.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
