My issue with this whole thing is DS has already proven himself (1st & 3rd)and
Metcalf hasn't. With that said
Metcalf has certainly been impressive so far this year and will certainly have a great career. I agree with much of what has been said in that this is clearly a tossup.
Pointing to he did this versus him while he did that versus him is just silly. As has been pointed out many times before people were aggressive against DS initially and then once they realized that was a bad idea went to the "if I can just take him down once defense" and that changed the way DS has to wrestle his matches. I think you will see the same thing with
Metcalf people will start thinking more defensive than offensive and
Metcalf will have to adjust his approach as welll.
