Insane to go from loving his talent to we are confident his talent won't progress.
Even with the locker room issues, Reid is pretty confident in controlling guys and the locker room has leaders. What could possibly have happened, or continued to happen, that they just said "you're donezo." This second part seems more likely, but it's really intriguing to wonder what it could have been.

You can pretty much classify it as one of five factors:
1. Wasn't athletic enough.
2. Wasn't smart enough.
3. Bad attitude.
4. Off-field stuff was about to blow up.
5. So much talent and depth that a good player had to go.
#1 is highly doubtful. Too easy to measure.
#2 is possible, but a good athlete who's dumb can usually still find a place on a team.
#3 is likely, because it's something you can't fix and can affect other players.
#4 is quite possible, and if so we'll know soon.
#5 is possible, but you'd hope that a third-rounder would be one of the better players.
My bet is that he was riding deep on the bench and was pouting about it and being a bad locker room presence. I have no information at all to support that theory, but it just seems like the most likely thing other than an impending arrest.
