your right he is going about his contract in the wrong way now, but his performance last year down the stretch was becasue defenses were double and triple teaming him, Jay was locked in on him constantly, and his hip was quite a bother to him. he caught 104 passes and still avg over 7 passes per game down the stretch. there are lots of factors why he wasnt the same last year, none of which in my opinion were directly related to his hand outside of the potential for causing some a couple of his drops.
just my take....
