How much does JT have to cost the team before you see him as a problem?

My problems with JT are mostly an unwillingness to improve as a pass blocker, pass catcher or route runner, not to mention his utter lack of situational football awareness.

To be clear, I have all of those issues with JT as well, I just also don't like that his lackadaisical effort costs the Colts games and seasons with fumbles.

So that probably gives guys in that camp (Dam in this case) the perception that he fumbles more than he does.

He had a fumble issue coming into the NFL. Coaching reduced his overall fumbles, but his fumbles tend to really fucking hurt the team, as does his inability (unwillingness) to improve in pass pro, which takes him off the field in crucial situations.
