Instead, his development was stunted by playing in the bigs before he was ready. I think he will pull it all together, and confidence is a huge part of it.

Nobody cares if it's fair or not... the fact is that he's at a point where statistically speaking most players don't get dramatically better.
As for the Taylor Hall argument saying that he got better after 250 games.
First 246 games (4 seasons) - 0.91ppg
Next 283 games (including this season) - 0.88ppg
Career 0.90ppg
Even if you include this years insane season, he got statistically worse after his first 250 games.
