"Woke up with a bad neck"

Sorry if this has been covered at length already... but I was shocked to hear that Ryan Kalil was going to miss the game because he (according to the CBS guys) "woke up with a bad neck this morning."

Seriously?!?!  Thomas Davis can play with a damn broken arm but Ryan Kalil can't play because he slept on his neck funny??????

There HAD to be more to it than that.  We sorely missed him yesterday.

Tweaked it in pre game as well

Are we talking about something serious?  Or is it just one of those things where you wake up and you can't really turn your head in one direction without a sharp pain...?  That's what it sounded like to me.  I mean, that's something you can play through, right?

Not going to blame a guy for not wanting to severely injure their neck... kinda an important part of your body. And having to crouch for 3 hours while looking up and then hit someone seems to be one of the worst things you could do, slightly ahead of running head first into a brick wall.

As someone who treats "bad necks" all day, its hard to say what was going on. I can tell you if it was just a "kink" in the neck he would've played. If he was having numbness or tingling into his neck, arms or fingers I would have held him out of playing.

It may be his shoulder is giving him problems again and the coaching staff doesn't want to alert other teams of his weaknesses. I am aware thats against the rules but do you really think that stops teams from doing it every week...

If you have never had any neck or back problems, you probably shouldn't comment too much on this one.

 

You just really can't imagine how terribly painful those issues can be.  I would rather almost anything on my body hurt instead of my back...it incapacitates you in ways you can't believe.

I have woken up with a bad neck before.  That is what the analysts said it was.  If it is something more serious, then he needs to take all the time he needs to get better.

So, going forward, are we not allowed to comment on threads about players blowing our their ACL's or tearing ligaments if we've never sustained those specific injuries?

    • 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
