But it's also correct (IMO) that at this point Weems is the better end game player. No he doesn't always hit the big shot or come up big in the Bears critical games. But he's done it more often in the past 4 years than any Bears player in recent memory. Some players just excel in those situations. Kyle has proved he's one of those. As good as he is I'm not sure McD has yet. But unfortunately with his talent I'll bet he does before his 4 years are over.
I guess the 4 straight possessions where he stood on the block and didn't move isn't hiding? Not to mention when he got the ball he continued to defer to other teammates. McD is simply not a clutch player, he has to do more to win the game when it's on the line and the other night was a cop out, all there is to it.
