No clue if there is correct in any way or just some "confirmational bias" on my part.

Releasing a star player that was already accounted for cap wise, and is a big part of your style offense is not the typical NFL action.

Everyone has definitely drank the Kelly Kool Aid. I think you're right, Kelly is now being exposed to issues he didn't have to deal with in college.
