And/Or now that he no longer has the deep ball as a crutch, his inability to read a defense and work the middle of the field is being exposed.

I've thought this also.
His best years in Seattle were also with a beast mode RB.
If you don't let him throw rainbow deep balls...
He doesn't offer anything much different than a jag QB that dungur could have had (or kept) at a fraction of the cost.
