It's time to bench Kalil

It is beyond Remmers.  I also can't imagine Amini or Moton being much worse.  Give them a try.

He has to be in the coach's doghouse after this game.  

He seriously does not block..he just holds the guy as long as he can before they blow by him or just slightly shoves the DE.

Can’t believe we handed this chump a sack of cash when Andrew Whitworth could have been in Carolina. With the vets on this team, adding another that would have actually warranted the price would have gone a long way and given us just enough time to properly address the position in another year or two when Whitworth hangs em up.

Not even just Whitworth.  Considering the cash we gave him there was Reiff, Wagner, a few others.

He held the guy (got flagged for it) and then grabbed the guy's helmet (getting another flag) in the same play AND the guy still hit Cam. 

Heck, I can't defend keeping the guy among the starters or even on the team anymore. I had hopes for him, but it's like we bought him mail order without really reading the product description.

That early play when Cam had half an hour then lay down for the sack, he did great. I was hopeful that he might bring his improved form into this game. After that though, it was his penalties that killed us. It won't get any easier for him against the Vikes. So much for the hope that he had turned the corner.

I hate Kalil as much as the next person, but Amini is the last person I want to see on the field. The few times he has come in when Turner got hurt, he looked unbelievably awful (and that is blocking a DT on pass rush). I can't even fathom how terrible he would be blocking ends on the pass rush.

No idea about Moton, but hopefully he and Williams are the starting tackles next season.

Reallllly bad.  Beyond Byron Bell, he's Nate Chandler bad.  

Seriously, when he's causing sacks and not getting RBs holes, there's absolutely no reason to keep him out there.  His being on the field is actively hurting the offense and honestly, a big reason why we're not getting it together.

Williams is a pure RT/Guard type so I wouldn't want to try him but Moton should get a look at this point.  We took him right after Dion Dawkins who's done well.  Just try it out.  Kalil needs to be benched.  He's holding the entire offense back.

    • 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
