I appreciate the answer, but as someone who has coached the game, I can't accept that all these gifts just went "poof" into the night. I think there are a couple of posters on this board who write one negative post after another and some of our fans buy into what they are saying despite the poor record of those negative posters. That's fine. I'm done w/the conversation.
I don't think they went "poof" either. You seem to be interpreting what I wrote as he has no skill left, when I said exactly opposite that.
If he had just been rehabbing or something things might be different. But he went through 2 mentally exhaustive years, that still aren't over. The mind is a very powerful thing and everyone reacts to issues differently, and they affect people differently.
I hope what we saw was "rust", but like I said, I can't state with 100% confidence that there is not more to it, until he "proves" it.
Isn't that basically a thing in the NFL, "Last year is last year, show us this year."
