The odds of us keeping Klein are slim.  Seriously doubt that he'll stay here.   He is a good linebacker and should garner a lot of attention in the off season.

I believe playing time has a factor in compensatory picks.  Could we be allowing Luke extra time to recover and giving Klein more playing time to possibly increase our compensation when (if) he signs with another team?

There is no conspiracy around concussions. That's one injury you can't fake or come back from until cleared. 

Agreed....  Sorry I was traveling over the weekend and was only able to see the game and that Luke wasn't playing.  Last I saw he was back at practice so I assumed he was cleared and we just sat him for another week.

I'm not so sure about that. No one is Luke but he had decent coverage on Crabtree and Walford but Carr threw good passes. Not many systems require their LBers to be one on one on premier WRs like ours does. Remember Julio's long TD when they beat us last year? Luke had great coverage but the pass was perfect. But again how many defenses have LBers covering Julio 50 yards downfield? I don't think Klein is bad in coverage but he isn't Luke and in most defenses the MLB isn't covering Julio or Crabtree way downfield.

Also, correcting above. The primary part of compensatory picks is the contract yearly salary. They may tinker with the pick round if the player is a bust or makes the pro-bowl, but the new salary is the primary driver and some web sites have the levels down and they are fairly accurate.

Not many teams require their LB to cover Julio, bc they draft and sign DBs. We don't.

Everyone thought he was gold as our backup until he signed with the Cowboys and didnt do anything.

Connor was not gold. WTH is wrong with you. The dude was trash that's why we let him go. Dallas knew they weren't getting a starter in Connor. I swear some of y'all either throw poo randomly to see if it'll stick on the wall or hear voices.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
