People have not "turned" on Willy, but have given up on his being an elite CFL quarterback in line with his paycheque. And, incidentally, so have his teammates apparently. Any quarterback who has the same record on any team in the CFL would be in the same position. We all would have been ecstatic to have Willy perform at the same level as Collaros or Harris or heck, even Jennings. But he didn't and there are consequences to actions or lack thereof.
