I find comfort in the fact the Rose is concerned about his game. I prefer a guy saying that as opposed to him busting out cliches about how he has to "go do it" or other crap like that. He's come out and said matter of fact that he's not aggressive. To me, that's accountability.
Secondly, nobody should hit the panic button on Rose. You can certainly criticize the media and fans for blowing Rose up as a superstar however, it's just as flawed to say that he's not going to be.
