Brouwer died for me in season one exit interviews.
I was willing to put some value on character, and give him some credit for a bad season and the hope for a bounce back.
But his media spot after year one didn't own any of it. None. I did what I came here for was the summary ... no speaking to stats, or the fact that he really slid.
That was a caution flag to me.
(apologies for paraphrasing his dated interview)
