I think they will persist with him a bit longer, because he is a very talented athlete and they know this, but there is work to do. He was also shown up with not covering the quarterback, but he isn't the first running back or in Tackle/Guard to do that either, or else we would seen a QB ever sacked.
I think another major drop though in his next game and it would be thanks, but it isn't working.
If he was born a yank playing the game he would likely be an absolute superstar of the game, that is why they will keep trying I think.
That and they are sh1te anyway. Just about the worst team in the country, so his mistakes are not costing games any more than other players on the team, just the spotlight is right on him.
At least that is my take on it.
They could just cut him as well
...and thats what i was saying about him. He has so much to learn just to catch up to high school guys in terms of basics.
Even IF he gets that up to scratch and he hasn't been cut in the meantime, he still needs to leapfrog blokes who are likely faster, stronger and more knowledgeable than him to even make an impact.
Never knocked the bloke for what he has been able to achieve, but things are so far stacked against him, that reality is that he will not live up to even half the amount of hype surrounding him. Which was my point.
