Totally agree. I also see how he could feel that way watching success without him and Kempt and zeb quicky getting embraced. He went from the perception of our most import piece to hey "hope he comes back depth would be nice". That would be tough for anyone to stomach and am sure it is hard to be happy for your team and watch them be more successful without you. I personally really wanted him back. He is a hell of a talent and hope he has a hell of a year for whoever.
To add to this though, you had 2 QBs that are roomies and publicly cheered for one another when their time came up, DM complimenting his Oline even though anyone could see it was him doing the work, and a former QB willingly switching to MLB, and coming in to get tough yards at crucial situations.
