The knee stuff is a bit overblown. He was talking about normal issues you have as a lineman.

 

You carry a ton of extra weight and explode out of stance (counting practices and camps) probably a few thousand times each season. 

 

They freaking are shot to hell after a few years and it's just pain management for the rest of your life. 

 

We are talking about 120-150 extra lb of pressure on your knees, ankles and feet combined with using and putting explosive force on them constantly and consistently every week. 

 

Mine still haven't recovered from highschool and I'm 41. Lmfao

You know who says their chronic knee issues are magically resolved? Someone currently in negotiations for $40M+ in new money.

You know whose chronic knee issues don't magically resolve? 30+ year old 300+ football players.

Its a two year extension you guys are a trip. Why would he say both in the same conversation? Lol he clearly overspoke 

Taylor is not a DR. Chronic is a very bland term, meaning repetitive it also doesn't mean pain/discomfort or inability.

I'm old enough to remember when the Huddle turned it's nose up to Andrew Whitworth for being too old. 

We passed and he went to the Rams and played at a Pro Bowl level until his late 30s.

The front office has far more insight into Moton's health than anyone here. 

I'm happy we are keeping this group together

I doubt they're serious. But if they're chronic they're worsening and it caused him to miss games last year while having his workload carefully managed. If we were trying to squeeze a couple more years out of a SB window I would better understand it but that's the opposite of our current situation. IMO, this was clearly a situation where you let the guy play out this season and see how it goes. You always have the option of the franchise tag in your back pocket if need be.

That's sort of what I mean. If this is a situation that this is likely to continue to degrade pretty steadily, I would call that serious. 

I am curious if we end up with the highest price tag OL in 2026 now.

The man literally missed games last year and had to have his workload carefully managed. Why? Because of pain/discomfort and inability. A lot of chronic knee issues come down to pain management. No doctor can tell you how it's going to go. If they do they're lying to you. We know how it went last year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
