You were completely wrong about him. Just admit it.

Interesting thing about George is that the development seems to have plateaued a bit (haven't seen a lot of in-season progression) but on the flipside, it's stayed where it started, so it seems like that's a new normal for him. What we saw early in the year where it looked like he'd clearly taken a step forward is still something we're seeing rather than just a hot start.
And that's pretty damn encouraging.
He's not really winning in different ways and that does, to O.City's point, make one question how much he can really impact things as a 'lead dog' on the pass-rush. He's still winning in ways that seem largely complementary.
But that's better than regressing or even staying flat from his rookie year. He's better than he was last season and has stayed fairly consistent as the season progresses. Positive signs, to be sure.
