Now he will improve mentally (hopefully), both thru psychological maturation and learning the game and becoming experienced as a pro, as an NFL player which should make him a better football player. But his pure physical prowess will never exceed where he's at now, atleast I don't think it will ?

Well, first off, it wasn't really my point, just one I had heard others make (as well as the body builder point that others have also made). In short, I think some were concerned that it took an incredible amount of dietary efforts (regimented diet/supplements/etc.) and working out for Cushing to be the 245 guy he was at the Combine. Unless he were to keep up what many have viewed as a pretty rigorous routine, he might not maintain his physique. Thus, it may require a tremendous amount of discipline by a freshly made millionaire to maintain the strength and speed you drafted him for. Maybe you get that discipline, maybe you don't.
In all honesty, I really don't have a problem with Cushing or his workout routine and he seems like a guy who is going to go all out to try and be successful. I was just chiming in on one of the concerns raised at the time of the Combine.
