Bolton still has a ways to go to be "the man", really needs to be more consistent and needs to be able to play a bit more physical. Quietly though, he's improved the last month or so. Its overshadowed by the teams struggles but he's played much more consistent than he did the first 2 months. Plenty of reasons to be optimistic about him taking the next step over the next two seasons.
It's kind of interesting to think about had he not gotten his waiver, we'd be a much worse team but in the long run, w/l's are irrelevant, we would be a bad team anyway. He's just still pretty raw, a sit out year would have been amazing for him. I get why he wanted to play and this team would be historically bad without him but in hindsight, he wasn't enough to get this team over the hump. Kind of a wasted year for him.
