He is like many who have high level talent in thinking that's all he needs to be as elite in the NFL as he was leading up to it. All he has to do is show up and do his thing and it's all good. We all know that's not true. To be elite he has to put in the hard work, otherwise he's going to be above average on the regular with bursts of how good we know he can be.

Like mentioned by another poster, Ramsey has the physical part down, it's the mental side he needs to work on. Myles Jack is the same in that he is physically capable to do his job (for the most part) and works hard at that part but he misses a lot in the mental/football IQ part.

When you said "Not putting the work in to enhance his abilities", that's pretty much calling him lazy. And how do you know his mental side needs work?  You honestly have no clue how much he works on the mental side of his game. 

You're trying to label Ramsey as a certain type of player (which a lot of people are now that he's gone) only because he treated the Jags poorly.

When Ramsey lines up against the best WRs in the game, he holds them to well below their usual catch% and QB rating when targeting them. That's just a fact. You don't get those types of stats strictly based on talent. You get them because of hard work on the field and film room.

And that only works when he plays man instead of zone. Everyone knows he sucks as zone coverage. 

Also, how I see him now is no different from when he was here. Do I think he screwed his "brothers" (his term, not mine) and the team? You betcha. But that has nothing to do with this. He's the same on the field now as he was before. 

And saying he isn't putting in the extra work isn't saying he's lazy. I'm sure he works hard, but he's not focused. He's too busy pimping himself in social media, podcasts, in magazine interviews, etc. If he could focus he could be as elite as he already thinks he is.
