- Was reported that he did not know the playbook and that Adrian Peterson talked to him about it
- Was not viewed by his coach as being ready to start for these reasons, not his skill
- Did not earn the starting job until he had a come to Jesus talk with Callahan, begin to improve on these things, with the help of Alex Smith as a mentor
- Was seen on the sideline talking AT his veteran offensive line asking what he could do to help them. They did not show the appearance of receiving his comments favorably
- Missed the last snap of a play to take a selfie with a fan
- Missed the Head Coaches introductory press conference
- Tweeted that he was ready to get to work, yet has not been reported to have met with coaches or been to Redskins Park

These are all OBJECTIVE facts.

Whether one thinks none of this matters, or is a sign of a troubling pattern, is SUBJECTIVE.

Respectfully, those are facts, but not all of them.

Other facts:
- DH is 22 years old
- Once his teammates mentored him, he listened and adjusted
- DH did not take losing as acceptable (he gives a shit)
- DH improved as the season went on

The negative facts occurred definitely show a trend as you suggest and I concur. However I think the positive facts also show a trend and are as a result of the negative facts. I will put more weight on the positive trends.
