My sense is that a few hot takes in fall 2018 have been falsely transformed into a long-standing narrative.

All I remember about O’Reilly was the quote he had at the end of the season about how he had lost some zest for the game with all the losing he’s seen. That’s about it. Maybe he’s not the type of player that can carry a team to the playoffs as the main piece, but he’s definitely a guy that can help you get through the playoffs as he has proved. His rough and tough, hard to play against style is perfectly suited for the playoffs.
