Not sure that this statement is provable. Why could a player not become more 'clutch' as they go through their careers, especially as they move from rookie year to becoming a veteran?
I guess you could say that it is an attitude or a natural inclination, but that is an opinion. My personal opinion is that as a player gains experience, they could become more comfortable in late-game situations and get better at performing in them.
Just my 2 cents. (I wish I knew how to make the cents symbol instead of writing the whole word.)
Psychological hard wiring and the individuals reaction to high stress situations.
AND you could be right about this effect of experience, and if this really is an issue for Kupp, I hope you ARE right.
Either way I don't buy the idea that rookie receivers in general aren't as effective in clutch situations. You say my position is not provable; I say the same about that claim.
And I agree it's an opinion, but it is on both sides.
It's also my opinion that in a lot of the close games they were in this year, several Rams were prone to making mistakes and not plays. I don't know if that's the same as not being clutch on catchable passes on some key 3rd downs and in the endzone.
