Ray Ray's problem was never his talent, but his head and his heart. Kid never seemed to give 100% consistently. He could make a phenomenal play, and then mentally check out and blow a huge assignment. It was that inconsistency that got him in the dog house and why he didnt excel here. Then all the other problems just sunk his career here. For all the cr@p we gave Shannon over his love of guys like Glenn Cook and Romeo, the reason why those guys started above more talented guys, was because they were consistent. They werent going to make a lot of great plays, but they also werent going to blow a ton of assignments and cost you big.
THAT was the single biggest problem with the MNW heavy class that Shannon brought in, and which eventually sunk him. Lot of guys with talent, but no consistency. Ray Ray was a great example of that.
