Question is if you aren't going all out to win it all within the next 3 years why make that Alex Smith trade?

Asses in seats.

If you are asking to rebuild another 3 more years after already going through the 4 rebuilding Pioli years, then you expect fans to care for 7 awful years? Alex Smith makes the team somewhat credible.

But none of us should bear Branden any ill will. He played fairly well for us over the years. Good luck to him.

I agree. Plus, Miami didn't trade for him last year, kept their picks and they definitely need every one of them, and might get the guy this year.

Albert actually saves the Dolphins

they can part ways with Martin and get out of that mess, call Albert their LT savior.

His back will never hold up. Bad investment. Back trouble never goes away.

I maintain every team has holes at some positions. It's impossible to have every base covered. Sure they can compete. What are the biggest holes? Take care of those first.

What would you have them do, draft a QB? That's stupid. NEVER draft a QB and DEFINITELY not in the first round.

The day after the signing. It's up to the Florida Chiefs fans to all into sports radio & suggest he be moved to guard. So Branden will feel at home

So that great 08' draft class won 0 playoff games and 3 of the better players from that draft are no longer on the team. Thanks Pioli.

to be fair the whole ****ing franchise has 0 play off wins in 20 years. lol

wrong.

"I just had nothing more than back spasms," Albert said. "I tried to come back early and it flared up again. I haven't had any setbacks or things I couldn't do because of my back. That's the God's honest truth. If there was something wrong with my back, do you think the Chiefs would franchise me and give me $10 million?"

That wasnt an issue for him in 2013 based on his injury history.

from a review of literature from uptodate

Quote:

The long-term outcome of low back pain is generally favorable. In one prospective study, 90 percent of patients seen for low back pain in primary care did not seek care after three months [20]. However, most patients were still experiencing low back pain, for which they did not seek care, one year after the initial episode.

Patients who have high expectations for recovery have better outcomes. A secondary analysis of a randomized trial comparing usual care to chiropractic care, acupuncture, or massage in adults with acute low back pain showed that higher expectations for recovery were associated with greater functional improvement at 12 week follow-up [21]. MRI evaluation to provide reassurance, however, does not lead to better prognosis [22].

A longitudinal study of 973 primary care patients with recent onset low back pain found that 83 percent had mild or no pain and 86 percent had minimal or no disability at one year follow-up; however, only 72 percent had completely recovered [23]. It should be noted that cross-sectional sampling of patients from clinical practices over-represents patients with recurrent pain, and these findings may not be applicable to the general population with low back pain. Indeed, 75 percent of the patients in this study reported previous back pain episodes, 39 percent had previous sick leave for back pain, and 19 percent had been involved in compensation claims.

Psychosocial variables are stronger predictors of long-term disability than anatomic findings found on imaging studies. In a systematic review of 20 prospective studies in patients presenting with acute low back pain, predictors of disabling chronic low back pain at one year follow-up included maladaptive pain coping behaviors, functional impairment, poor general health status, presence of psychiatric comorbidities, or nonorganic signs

I don't know about being happy about all that but maybe after that we will finally draft a quarterback but I know better than that.

I just assume be happy with Alex Smith & Fisher doing a super job and winning games in the playoffs that would make me happier than wasting years on them.

Purgatory kind of sux.

He had trouble with his knee every time he went down.
