Not sure how you can have Hinge in the bad. A guy that takes the game on in the back half as much as he does is going to have a few clnagers.
Love the kid and would love to see him get a run in the midfield.
Hinge is in my good. He was excellent. Some of his decision making is inexplicable at times.
Every week though he makes a decision or two that isn't a skill error, it's a decision error. Work on some of that stuff and he could be deadset elite knocking on the door of AA.
It's the same with Tex, he is on the balance of everything a sensational player but there is always a weekly brainfade or two.
I'm sure you could argue that most players do this a couple of times but I would suggest most of them would be skill errors rather than judgment - 'right idea, wrong execution' stuff.
I thought I had placed enough nuance in my post for people to see that I wasn't suggesting Hinge had a bad game but clearly not though I have found, quite lamentably, that BigFooty tends to be quite a binary place. Players are either good or bad and they are fixed in those positions (e.g. Sloane came on and was totally fine yesterday yet people still potted him) and we seem unwilling as a collective to discuss strengths and limitations. Oh well.
