knucklehead? I think he's a guy with talent who -- and this is speculation -- works at being a better QB but isn't working as hard as some others (there's always variance in work ethic, right?). I mean, NO ONE worked as hard as Sam Rogers. Does that make everyone else on those teams lazy? Of course not.

I just think Fuente was tepid on Ryan's efforts -- much as he was with Josh Jackson before him. His praise of Hooker should be viewed as just that -- acknowledgement of exceptional effort and work -- not as an indictment of anyone else.
