Pretty sure we don't talk about him anymore

Because he's pretty much convinced us of who he is.

Is there a chance he changes? Absolutely. Brandon Lloyd did.

The issue so far is that ... and I'm cringing here ... he hasn't been an alpha WR. Hasn't been a s*t talker. Hasn't been a diva. In the absence of a true #1, he's still not a #1.
His attitude is weak.

Like ... I doubt he'd ever get a taunting call.

Has that changed? Is he ripping the ball away from people and showing them up? Because if not, he's not really a Stafford guy. Stafford is going to give you chances to make plays.

Case in point ... My kiddo played lacrosse ... he was a little timid. So by year three, I told him I'd pay him 20$ for any roughness penalty.
He did not get such a penalty until year 5 as a junior in high school. Now before anyone kills me, penalties are a part of lacrosse and no one got hurt. They were accidents like most slashing calls are. He just was no longer afraid to take the swing.

But the attitude had to be changed by force.

I had the same thing wrestling. It's a contact sport. It's violent. Cooper hits people in the head, I can't imagine Van doing that.

So we, as a board, pretty much without question, decided he was soft.

The word from camp this year says that's changed. I'll believe it when I see it.
