He did get better and had a great stretch in the middle, but he had such a huge hole to dig out of that his number for the entire year was only 118. The overall number doesn't tell the whole story and I think he has the talent to be consistently good. But to expect the national media to catch on and put him in the top 20 pre-season is too much to expect, I think.
