He was elite at one thing early on but never developed

He's always been good in the middle of the field setting the tempo while finding and making good, high percentage passes. I think a lot of people forecasted him to get bigger, stronger, and faster and develop more areas of his game. He hasn't really done that and with his struggle to find playing time, I don't see him being able to.

If the injury is serious, I think that we have seen the last of him in a USA kit. He just doesn't offer anything that we'd miss with a player who is more well rounded. The next step for him will be crucial. I like the guy, and I hope he'll pan out, but I don't see it.
