I agree in the first half of the season, he came up an a couple of routes early.  He had a drop or two for the first 4 or 5 games as well.  Had some problems lining up early, and struggled blocking early.

Thought he improved steadily as the year progressed.  Caught the ball a lot better, blocked a lot better, ran routes much better, etc.

Thought his progress was hindered when he was asked to switch to the outside in the latter part of the seaso as WR after WR washed out or got hurt.  But I thought he made a quick adjustment there as well.  Also had the mini meltdown in the Texas Bowl, which I saw better watching the replay the other day.

I thought that overall he did a terrific job switching to a position he was clearly not comfortable playing early.  He is probably always going to be a bit of a wild card and do some things he wishes later he didn't, but I love his raw athletic ability and most of all, his competitive fire.  The kid is a winner and needs to be on the field.
