That's sort of my opinion on the subject as well.
I can't help but feel bad for the guy. After he got picked on so much last game and this one starts off the same way for him. (Sorry Rich, its the only thing I have to compare to.) Right now I feel like Lab and Pappy are pushing him underwater and JM is struggling to get breaths. I'm personally willing to give him a day one free pass. That doesn't mean I won't refer back to it after day two starts. Maybe JM just needs a good night's sleep to gather his thoughts, catch his breath and get back on track. Whatever track that may be.
