FWIW, all indications are this is a composed strong- character kid whose learning curve and physical prowess is gaining momentum. He generates confidence in the huddle and knows his limits.

I don't see "damaged goods" ever being a part of his career or life. And in that respect he is much like PM.

I've never understood treating elite athletes like tender kittens. If we need them to play, put them in and see what they can do. You'll see fairly quickly who has it and who doesn't.

Yes, try your best as a coach to prepare them, but then turn them loose. If a player's confidence is shattered by a couple poor outings, then maybe he doesn't have the mental makeup to be a standout player anyway.
