This has to be his last year. He’s been pretty bad. Hope he can ride into the sunset with a Super Bowl ring and we can forget about how his last season actually went.

Yeah - the issue isn't what he can do when everything goes right. He's no different than an aging slugger in that regard - when Albert Pujols puts one on the barrel, it still goes a long way.
The problem is that when things go wrong or even only kinda right, the result is just a fly ball to the warning track instead of a screamer into the gap. His mediocre is bad now. And his mediocre is a hell of a lot more common than it used to be.
When Colquitt has time/space and hits the ball true, he still hits it damn near as well as he used to. But his margin for error is just too small for a game that moves this fast. If you look at him as the punter version of Phillip Rivers, you're not far off. Both guys have seen their floors plummet while their instances at their ceilings have fallen off commensurately.
