If we have to keep Matt Kalil...heaven forbid.

We CAN cut him after this season, but it would be an expensive one for sure.

My question, what is the possibility of him being able to play guard?  And by play, I mean at least learn the position and back up the starters there?

I absolutely do not want to see him on the field, and especially not at T, but maybe he could be acceptable depth if we have to keep him on the roster?

Wonder if his height would be a negative there?

More expensive to keep him as a backup guard than it would be to cut him and bring in a practice squad body.

  People need to understand this. There is NO scenario where him staying on the team saves us money or cap space in any way. None.

I too want him cut at the end of the year...that is beside the point.

I do fear that Ron will want to keep him...and that makes me nervous.

I was mostly joking around, and asking you guys if you think that Matt could play guard in the NFL?

This was not meant to be a real football/cap discussion.

Did Wharton go from T to G, or was it the other way around?  I can't recall.

No.  He isn't.  According to both spotrac and overthecap it costs us more money to cut him than it does to keep him next year.  Why would we do that?  It doesn't make sense.

Everyone wants him gone, sure.  But not if getting rid of him hurts us more.  I don't care if we use some injury farce to keep him at home next year.  Or we simply make him inactive every game.  Doesn't matter.  But we aren't gonna piss away 1.8 million just so we can not have MK on the roster.

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

      By CRA · Posted

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.

      he doesn't have the arm to make all the throws, the premier QBs make.  That's a fact.   So there are plays that won't exist for him that will for others.    To act like every QB in the NFL can make all the same throws isn't a stance anyone actually takes.....yet folks are doing it for Bryce.
