Looks like Van's ceiling was awfully close to his floor when he came in, but we didn't have a way to know that.
We all had hopes. He had enough speed, the boost from his pedigree, and was the kind of player/young man you could like. Unfortunately his improvement came in small increments, and while other receivers progressed well under Yarber, he didn't. The Rams were patient, tried, but the high points didn't wipe out the disappointments. And none of that could be seen in advance.
Therefore, blame Snead.
It's like having tomato worm get into your garden, so you go out and shoot a bunch of magpies.
