Not even close. I think the opinions on Apple are based on actual observation of game action over the past few weeks. It is quite apparent he is struggling; committing PI and holding. I agree he was very solid in the first half the season but over the past few weeks teams have targeted him with success. Not sure why and that can be debated. It can also be debated that JJ was brought in to unseat Apple, or it is perhaps a move to just get better like all teams try to do, especially in prep for the post season. "Narrow minded" and "non-observant"? Come on.
