I wouldn't go as far as to say he wasn't good for most of the year, but I can understand the opinion as there was a drop off. I think he certainly hit a wall that he wasn't expecting to hit. I still like his feet and vision enough to think he has a shot at being the guy, someday, but I can also understand that it may not be this year.
Seems pretty clear to me since he had more poor games than good ones. I don't think it had anything to do with hitting a "wall" either- after only his 5th game he had a stretch of several bad ones in a row, and he finished the season with two of his better games. He just wasn't very good last year (which isn't to say that he won't improve).
Seems clear to you how, just by stats? I mean if that is all your judging a guy by, and I get that as hey ... this is fantasy, but as someone that watched his games, he didn't have as many "Poor games" as you claim. Other than the stat line. Yes, he wasn't as strong later in the season as he was early, but that happens to a lot of rookies or first time starters.
Again, I get you don't like him, but I also think you are being a little hard on the kid. He was pretty good at some point, why can't he do it again with better conditioning?
Why don't you like him? Other than he sucked in more games than he was good? Was it his vision? Was it his drive to the hole? Or was it just the stats? Just curious.
