It's either evidence that he A.) didn't work as hard in that aspect, OR B.) he did work really hard but it still wasn't enough to equal Jones' understanding and execution.

Hopefully it was the latter (which I believe it was) and he can still blossom for us. If it was the former, he'll be gone.

I think it’s the former. I mean I think he has worked harder and has gotten better in that regard. But I think it’s likely that the 6 year vet, who is likely on his last chance to stick as a starter, worked harder. For many that will be an indictment of AR. It isn’t to me only because I think It’s always been clear AR doesn’t know what it takes to be an NFL starting QB. I don’t think he’s lazy. I don’t think he’s entitled. I think he’s immature and naive. The team signed up to teach him that when they invested the #4 pick in him. There was nothing more important to the franchise than ARs development. And I have never heard anything to suggest they went out of their way to develop him. I don’t even see any indication they had an actual plan. They’ve never brought in a mentor for him. Which makes sense I guess because Ballard has never believed in vets mentoring guys. One of the many things that told me Ballard was an idiot and would take the team no where.
