Side question: How bad was that knee injury? Odd to me that he had no issues (yet another beat I’ve felt in a long time offseason quote), then had a “minor procedure” and was estimated to be back in a couple weeks, then spent the entire season on IR, and is still not healthy? Seems very Otah ish to me

Matt 'Speedbump' Kalil,

I couldn't agree more.  I am almost assured that you mean we all know that you could be the absolute worst starting left tackle in the NFL. I have never seen one player so detrimental to the state of the franchise and the health of one player than you. At "full health" as you usually claim to be year in and year out, I wouldn't want you protecting my son's quarterback. He's 9.

We didn't want him to return and get legitimately hurt to where we couldn't release him. 

The Texans have thrown away $7.5M in cap space this year if they carry him to the regular season. How in the HELL did Kalil convince a team to give him $7.5M after completely fleecing us? Dude has the GOAT agent.

Some guys just never come back from those injuries....not all ACL tears are the same.

Hate it, and really wish that he could have worked out here long term, but it wasn't in the cards.

The one I hate worse though?  Oher.  While not great, he was good enough, tough the way he went out.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
