These two events also happened nearly simultaneously, so it's likely that some combination of these factors is at least strongly contributing to his poor play. There's a chance Braden Smith and Quenton Nelson could also be dealing with Long COVID. It's a better explanation than they're all greedy, especially Nelson, he takes too much pride in his work for greed to be the explanation with him.
Nelson could also have a chronic back problem, and if so, this could be a permanent downslope to a tragically unrealized potential 1st ballot HOF career.
