So.... We are done with Matt Kalil, right?

Yes. Moron or Clark are vast improvements at LT. The lineup we had Sunday did a great job. When Trai comes back it should be even better. Question is, do we cut Kalil this offseason?

I think he's proving his worth the last few games, its like he's pissed at the "too old" criticism. If he holds this up for the season we could look really good. But we should really be preparing for life after during the off-season.

  That’s being answered right now with an emphatic yes. Or should I say 3 weeks ago. There is no freaking way he is hurt so bad he needed 2 months to even consider playing. If he plays, and gets injured. We have to give him 7M more. Playing him, even as desperate as we were, isn’t worth it. He gone the minute the season ends.

I think with his contract, Matt will be kept on the roster for at least one more year. The coaches have to be honest with themselves and understand that Matt is a bust FA signing and should be used as a backup until they can get out of his contract. 

So your idea is to give him MORE money to not play another year? Why in the world would you ever consider throwing anything else in that lost cause.?

I hope we are done with Matt Kalil.  This could be the year both Kalils end their NFL careers.  The fact that Clark came off his couch and is playing a LOT better than Kalil is very telling.

Sometimes you swing and hit, other times you swing and miss.  Cut him, make a June 1st cut, and move on from him.

    • If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?
    • It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay
    • If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
