The more I think on it, your Barry Sanders comparison is 💯 spot on. I wanted him and Thruman from College at Ok St. Through the NFL, and you could just see it in his face.
Im starting to see it in Joshes, and who can blame him?
I just posted the same thoughts. At what point does he say " enough is enough"? The kid loves ball, has battled through biblical level disappointment on the field as well as injury.
He isnt stupid, he can see the failure of this org to get talent and better coaching. But I see him putting in his 10th season and opening the stadium he helped build, unless something really goes sideways this year.
