This

yeah, the all-pro, multi-year probowler wasn't living up to his contract


he had yet to be named all-galaxy

Now is when we should be flying a banner - for Eric.

Hey! He's not a game changer, OK!?!

He returned damn near half of his INTs for TDs but nope! Not an impact player at all!

This, and it hasn't gone on just about Berry either. When you commit an enormous portion of your team's salary to one player, the heat is on. That player MUST produce at the level the pay demands, because he's being paid enough for 2-3 regular players.

Its dangerous. He's been injured the majority of this season, came back and looked okay, and now this. However you slice it, his contribution on the field has not matched the paychecks he's been getting.

For whatever its worth on the 90 yard TD, they clocked Latavius Murray at over 20 mph on that run. He was hitting Lorenzo Cain gear, in full pads. That's a fast ass SOB right there.

DL/LB/and S all combined mistakes for that play to happen, its not just all on Berry. Mauga stays in his gap, he doesn't get up to that top gear that can outrun Berry.


I hate that this has happened to Berry. He's a great person and a great talent, but the things being said prior to discovering his condition don't just become false because of his horrific diagnosis.

He was not producing at a level that justified what we were committing to him in the salary cap. He basically played LB for us last season, and we seriously overpaid last season for his box safety/LB play.

This year, just a snakebitten year. The heel problems before the season, the ankle injury in week 2, and now he may never play again.

My family is praying for him to be okay, for whatever ****ing good that will do. Perhaps some religious fanatics can explain how any just God would decide for a standup kid like Eric Berry to get "blessed" with Lymphoma when there are so many worthless, thieving, murdering, drug slinging, child molesting, wastes of human flesh in this world that are FAR more deserving of that shit.

#ThatsNotFunnyGod

My wife is an Oncology nurse, and deals with lymphoma daily.

I'm sorry to say that I doubt we will see Berry on the field anytime soon, if ever.

Prayers are with you Eric.

Im at the point where i think imma have to take some days off of CP. Seeing this thread really just depresses the shit out of me.

Because we all know he had cancer when this thread was made. It's a football discussion board we discuss football here. nobody said anything about him personally. What's the big deal?

WTF are you even talking about?

Defensive much?

hey when you got identical numbers to the praised Sean Taylor you're not living up to the contract.

Berry ran an official 4.47 at the combine (with hand clocked times at sub 4.4)

Yeah, but he has also had an ACL injury.

Murray ran a 4.38 at his pro-day, Berry wasn't going to catch him when he took the poor angle that he did and had to reverse his momentum.

I really just hope that they caught the cancer early enough for him to live a long and healthy life after treatment. It doesn't matter if he ever comes back to the football field or not at this point.

He's talking about the people trying to make others feel guilty about discussing whether or not Berry was worth 9 million a year, now that he's sick.

I just realized that Berry was the next man up for defensive leadership if Hali and DJ get the shaft.

If all 3 are gone, then who becomes "the man"?

Don't say Houston or Poe. You can just keep your goddamned fingers off the keyboard before you try an embarrass yourself like that.
