I think that's a heck of a lot closer to an ordinary rookie OT learning curve than we want to acknowledge, especially when he was just being left out there on his own. The Madden sliders were set to All Madden for the kid and he just wasn't ready for it.
And man, why should we have expected him to be?
Coaching did him dirty this year, IMO.

DJLN with the wisdom.
Dude was put on an island with no help against the sack leader, got owned, and was benched.
We put him in a position to fail, and what a surprise, he failed.
