Reid didn't say Albert has back "issues".
Reid, and everybody else with the CHIEFS, has repeatedly said he had an "injury" SINGULAR. It's the media that continually spins that into "back issues" which just isn't true. |

I still think Albert wasn't all that hurt. I think he decided to sit out a few games so the team could see how shitty they were without him. And they were shitty.

I think that's awfully far-fetched. As egomaniacal and self-concerned some NFL players can be, I think the vast majority genuinely want to play in every game and perform at their best. Shit, people do all sorts of crazy and harmful stuff to their bodies just to stay on the field. I just can't see Albert sitting out to prove a point. And if he did that, then **** him, we should let him walk. You're a paid professional, and that means you show up and bust your ass regardless. You don't decide not to play a couple games to teach someone a lesson. That would be bushleague.

Dunno about that, but IIRC he was active a few games and dressed but didn't play. Wouldn't think he was hurt that bad if they did that.

took DJax 2 seasons to get paid by cheapskate Reid and Dorsey is from the Packers who are notoriously cheap for everyone but QB.
they play hardball like to have young guys on rookie contracts, push and pull when you have to pay guys that are 27,28 on their big money 2nd prime years contract |

It's pretty damned obvious given Peters, Tra Thomas, and Jon Runyan that they don't just toss out tackles after their first contracts, nor do they really play hardball at all. What would make you think they would cut bait with Albert? It doesn't square with any of their past moves.

there is a big difference between having the first pick and having the 28th pick with a need for paying a LT. |

I think it was one of those "could have played if it was a playoff game" deals.

That makes a little more sense. No sense risking serious injury over a meaningless victory.

Well, it's official.
I can't watch NFLN any longer. Seeing Pioli and Casserly on screen together, talking about how great all these offensive linemen are, is just more than I can take. |

He literally thinks that you can luck into a Tom Brady at any time. That's just so ****ing absurd. He lost his job because of how poorly he built this team at the QB position and he continues to show he'll never learn from his mistakes. Anyone who hires him and gives him a GM title deserves to be taken out back and shot.
