"Woke up with a bad neck"

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?

That's what I'm assuming. I had it happen to me once. Literally couldn't move my head without experiencing pain that was borderline pass out worthy. No way you could play football like that. Took 3-4 days to get over it then it was back to normal.

Think about playing center in the NFL with a bad neck. 

First of all you would not be doing your teammates a service by playing and second it is impossible to play virtually any sport when you think the next contact is going to paralyze you for life.  Much different from any strain or "play through" injury.

Y'all act like you haven't woken up before and literally had to turn your whole body either to the left or right because you couldn't move your neck without having excruciating pain.

You'd much rather question the toughness of our Pro Bowl center?

wow

That has literally never happened to me. I'm 40. 

Full disclosure: I also am not a professional athlete, I do as little physical activity as possible, and try to nap daily.

It sucks. Happened to me a few times in my life. Sleeping wrong, I don't know. But wake up and cannot move head in one direction. Literally just can't. Also like a month ago my lower back went out on me for the first time ever. That put me down for 2 days. Everything was impossible. Back and neck injuries fug everything up. When it happens you instantly respect it.

I believe you, but I also would have liked to have seen someone try the old briefcase justice on Kalil yesterday.

    • 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
