There is no doubt that Matt Kalil has the ability. He made the pro bowl as a rookie because he can play. The gamble with him is whether he can make it through the season healthy. If the gamble pays off, we have a pro bowl caliber LT for the next 5 years.

**If he makes it through the season healthy, we have a Pro Bowl caliber LT for this season. If he makes it through next season healthy, we have a Pro Bowl caliber LT next season....et al.

If he makes it through the season healthy is a question about every player at every position to one degree or another. Like I said it is a gamble, but I think it's a good one.

I knew what you meant. Just nit picking.

My dad is a Vikings fan and was fairly surprised at the Kalil contract, likely for the same reason everyone else is concerned. It's fairly obvious he was brought here to work with the offensive line staff to improve on his deficiency's and to be with his brother. One would hope that health, coaching, and motivation of playing with a sibling will propel him back to what he was expected to be coming out of the draft.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
