Out of Zeke’s quote, where do you get that he wasn’t ‘ready’ before? Or was it just too much of low hanging fruit that you couldn’t resist grasping onto to try and prove a point about how dissatisfied and miserable you are. So go ahead and prove how he wasn’t ‘ready’. I know your first attempt will be to list stats and how his ‘decline’ was proof that ‘he wasn’t ready’. But where is your proof that he wasn’t prepared, determined, dedicated or anything similar to prove he ‘wasn’t ready’? You don’t have any. So just either admit you don’t like the guy, or their were other reasons factoring into his ‘decline’, or that he’s just overpaid. That may make you feel justified. I might respect your take if you did so. But to say he ‘wasn’t ready’ is weak.
I can also predict you’ll say I’m a Zeke homer which isn’t close at all, but I know the kind of responses you like to make so I’ll get out in front of you with your excuses. So go ahead and prove it.
