He needs a motor and a mean streak. He has neither and that's why he's not developing. He's not likely to find it elsewhere. Those are things only he can control.
And it's usually something you either have or you don't. It's not like you can just decide to change who you are very easily.

He couldn't win a starting job and couldn't even touch the field end of the season on the worst line I've ever seen. He's who got blown up against TN to cause the fumble that beat us. He's was never going to be more than depth.
And I get we can't pay much for depth, but it's still nice to have when you need it. Maybe he really is just garbage and can't play at this level, but while I get our line was awful, he was apparently still good enough to get playing time as a RS freshman. I would suspect with another year to mature and improve, he'll end up being better depth than we likely will have.

True, I don't know why we try. We should just give up and stop practicing altogether.**
Now did I say that? No I didn’t. Stop being a drama queen. But to think these guys are going to stick around for depth or development is being naive.

We are in a me me era and every one of those guys thinks they can start at any time, any place. It’s only when they get stuck in the portal that they learn the hard way.

Look at the “receiver room”. Just about every one of mighty Chad’s croots that couldn’t get on the field are transferring out. I hope they all show out like JJ Harrell did at Arkansas State this year. Oooopps

Your comment was that we should not "put any effort into development", which seems overly dramatic. Hence the sarcasm.

I'm not saying good depth, just depth. He doesn't play if not for injuries . The kid didn't even start for his HS team and only played a fraction of the starter.
