I think that is definitely the case. Whenever you hear him in an interview, he's always saying how he needs to start breaking big returns. He obviously knows that the longer he goes without breaking big returns the more we're going to be an advocate of cutting him. When it's probably that same attitude that's killing him in the first place.
