I think that is pretty much the definition of shinny new toy syndrome: falls in the dirt first few games when in new leagues then finishes stronger when having a chance to settle in - but it doesn't matter he has dirt on him now.
I get it, recent Anderson hype train is all hands on deck! Choo chuuuuuu
I don’t know. I had Valimaki, Jankowski, Andersson, Dube, Parsons, Kylington as my top 6 last year IIRC. With the graduation of Jankowski, I will probably be voting Valimaki, Andersson, Dube, Parsons, Kylington this year.
Like, I don’t think his down season has affected his ranking much at all. I don’t think he ever should have been in the conversation before #3 last year and for me at least that holds this year too.
If anything, I’d just say my perceived gap between Dube and Parsons has widened, but that’s about it.
