[Whatever]

I also think Ross having a good or bad year as zero to do with coaching, coaches don't taker care of a player's body to keep them healthy. Coaches can't study for them, coaches can't give 100% for them.

Boyd got benched in year 2 and was even inactive on gameday for a little bit reportedly due to a bad attitude.  No doubt, he redeemed himself last year, but he had his own issues with the offense.  The fact that he wasn't a Top 10 pick means there wasn't as much of a microscope on him.  The GW TD against Baltimore also bought him a lot of goodwill among the fan base.

With Ross, the current group of coaches have all been supportive and talked about what they can do with him in this offense.  If he can't get it done with a staff that's excited to work with him and actively working on ways to get him the ball and be successful, then he in all likelihood is never going to do it.  

With injuries, guys get hurt.  It doesn't necessarily mean they are lazy or don't take care of themselves.  Eifert works very hard, but gets hurt all the time.  You don't play at AJ's level without putting in the work, and he gets banged up quite a bit.  Lap said it was obvious Price put in a lot of time in the weight room during the off-season, but he came into camp hurt again.  Sometimes it's luck.  Sometimes a guy's body breaks down.  Sometimes a guy just doesn't the genetics to keep their body together at the level it needs to be at.  If a guy is rolling into TC 30 pounds overweight like Burfict used to do or fails the day 1 conditioning test like Orlando Brown did for the Ravens this year, then yeah, it's fair to say they don't take care of themselves.
