Maybe he turns out to be the franchise centre everyone'd hoped but I'd be hard pressed to say he's trending upwards right now.

There are lots of valid explanations for his low production so I'm not getting hung up on his points. What I'm missing though is seeing more than occasional glimpses of high talent. For someone who supposedly oozes talent and competitiveness he looks pretty average so far. Lots of time though.
