If you want to argue he lacked that same drive this year for various reasons I'd probably agree but the narrative that Jalen is lazy/doesn't work hard isn't a sound one.  

The Jags actually gave Jalen more leeway than most becuase they knew he'd show up ready to go and with his body in near perfect shape.

Call it whatever you want.  He can shut down most WRs, even great ones, when he chooses to.  But he doesnt always.  Maybe that isn't laziness, maybe it's boredom.  Maybe it's a lack of preparation some weeks.  Maybe its immaturity and a lack of professionalism.   In some occasions it's been him freelancing and not running the play that was called. Whatever it is or whatever you want to call it, he doesn't always play up to his abilities.  In any given week or heck any given drive, you dont know if you are getting great Jalen or average Jalen.  Been a few games now and the Rams clearly havent been getting great Jalen.  

As I said before, if he ever puts it all together and reaches his full potential, bummer it won't be here.  But at this point, I hope the Rams continue to falter as we'll be better off for it.
