So, the team saw some things, maybe in practice, that they liked in Colborne. They kept him up, worked with him, and he's turning into a decent find. They were right about him.
And somehow this proves the opposite? That's it's okay to suck and stay with the big club because you can still develop that way?
Why can't it be as simple as he was doing all the right things, exactly what they (and not you) asked, and it worked out?
