Hey, for sure. I don't think it's reasonable to expect him to improve, either, and nothing I've said suggests anything of the sort.

By no means should he be considered a suitable replacement for Backlund. But -- I'd wager he's the perfect complement to Backlund. And because of his lesser history, I wonder if we see a later decline, similar to the Giordano trajectory.
