That's the fascinating question here. What could have made them so clear that nothing was going to change, improve, or progress with time. Can't be his play. You don't pick a guy in the 3rd round, be that excited about it, and cut him even if he looked like Cliff Clavin out there. 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.
