I think he assumed that he would be gifted a top six role and when that didn't happen, he went into a free fall.
If he can come in humbled and find his edge, I think there is a good chance he can find his game again. It's going to be up to him and his character though.

Absolutely, that’s a good question. Once a guy reaches a certain point in his career, thinks he has proven everything he needs to, and is then again tasked with proving himself again, it’s not only could he, but also does he have the character?
