For someone who signed such a large contract, he should have been more professional and worked harder during his winters, but he didn't. I think all his problems steam from being overweight. He's a step behind and injury prone.
He's not just bad....he was historically bad last season. He's even worse now. It's one of the biggest handicaps teams give themselves is just like you said, the refusal and ignorance to not be able to take a sober look at themselves. If Wells makes 3-5 million a year, he's not playing.
