M.Kalill should be a back up from this point on.

Trying to force this guy to handle a starting role is ridiculous. He is a backup at best even if healthy and they should treat this situation as so. Richardson forced this on the team to make his brother happy and overpaid big time. 

He is a backup....period. They need to move forward and find a starter to fill that role. Enough of this smoke and mirrors BS. Whatever they do...trade, draft picks or if D.Williams come back in six weeks....that guy needs to take a seat.

If Moton and Sirles do reasonably well, I think they may do this going into the Dallas game. They can couch it in terms of "being cautious" if they want, I don't really care as long as the 5 best OL are out there the majority of the time. We'll just have to use Armah and Thomas to help out and disguise some things really well. As another poster said, thank God we have Norv and not Shula with this mess.

Just curious?  Why is this a Richardson decision?  Did he make public comments or something?

My feelings are that Richardson put his two cents in and wanted it done, regardless of other descending opinions. Hurney was always a yes man, but D.G would have pushed back. Has Richardson's paws all over it.

The Matt Kalil move reeks of the same stink that was the re-signing of the core of a 2-14 team way back when where JR most definitely had his hand in the company cookie jar as things unfolded. 

Based on Hurney 2.0 moves, it seems like those were all JR moves and Kalil's signing seemed like a move to appease Ryan instead of making the team better because it was such an out of character signing for Gettleman to make. 

Of course, it could all be conjecture and Gettleman could have been gaga over M. Kalil for no reason and it's all wishful thinking from Gettleman homers. 

Probably a little bit of both, but either way, the move itself feels like a JR move if that makes sense.

You are aware that this signing was while DG was our GM, right? That pretty much runs counter to your theory. JR might have had input but DG signed that deal and also publicly glowed about Matt after the signing. I don't think that means the conspiracy theory regarding JR forcing this move on Gettleman is very likely. Dave just made another in about a 2-3 year stretch of some pretty rough roster decisions.

Wasn't this a Gettleman signing?   How was Richardson involved?  I'm missing something apparently? 

Seems to me, the only things "forced" on Gettleman was the Greg Olsen , TD signings.   And we see how that ended. 

From the Josh Norman debacle , I don't think Gettleman was forced into anything type of person,  even at the end he was probably like, either let me do it my way or fire me.  JR chose the later. 

Probably why it took him so long to be a GM.  He was a , if I'm in charge let me buy the groceries guy.

I'm aware D.G was here. I still feel that the old man forced his hand. D.G may have not agreed to this, but his opinion didn't matter. May be some of the reason he was fired, along with other push backs against the owner.

What leads you to believe that? Did Richardson control his good moves? I'm going to assume Jerry also told him to drive away Gross and cut ties with Norman as well. Probably forced Russell Sheppard on us too. Poor Gettleman.

I am going to just have to flatly disagree with that take. Gettleman was pretty clear in his comments that he was a more than willing participant in that signing. I could buy that JR meddled to get Olsen and TD back but it is highly unlikely he forced DG into this deal, unless DG was as much of a yes man Hurney was. I don't see much in the way of pride if DG talked to the media like that after JR bullied him into making a roster decision.

Regardless, we are much better off without JR and DG.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
