I'm going to need a little more breakdown.


Sounds like he wants to be developed and wasn't getting that here

Impossible to know for sure without insider knowledge, but this is a reasonable take, and I can see why he might think this-- right or wrong.

He acknowledges they had packages for him to play. I've seen the speculation on here that these packages were just him running the wildcat... Not sure if true. (he did have a similar # of pass attempts in last scrimmage as everyone, but that's not definitive either and may have been designed that way to lead all QBs to feel footing was equal.) If his actual packages seemed more run heavy than the plays he ran during the scrimmage, he might've felt that he was being pushed into a gimmick, change of pace, wildcat role instead of being in contention to be groomed as a proper starter.

The coaches may have viewed the same packages as a way to get his feet wet and give him time to grow into a broader role. He might've felt it threatened to marginalize him. It's all speculation.
