So downgrade LT and LG at the same time? Brilliant!

And despite all that, and based on a deal we know NOTHING about, we have people wanting to lambast the signing by saying it's a given he'll suck and yet still trigger every guarantee.

Well - at least we know who this seasons whipping boy is gonna be. Fair or otherwise...

100%

Superturtle missed bitching about OBJ. That really might be all this is.

This dude is buns and I don’t like the optics of this on the surface with the high (possible) cap hit and uncertainty about if he will start and where..

But I trust Bratt Varnch, Reid, and Mahomes to get it right.

I think its a discussion on a discussion platform. Would be rather boring if everyone agreed. You can get that on the Coalition. Its more a cult. You get banned if you express a non cult opinion.

I remember barely but I know he played LT in the SB and well we know how that turned out.

In regards to Donovan as I have said as backup, this is fine and hope we don't have to use him as a the starting LT for any length of time.

I've been waking up in cold sweats wondering who I'm going to bitch about with Clark gone and with my expectations that Moore will be reasonably productive.

I feel ya, Superturtle. Sometimes it's hard being a miserable ****.

I’m still targeting CEH. Any snap that guy steals from Pacheco and McKinnon is a waste.

LMAO Was literally getting ready to post about that. It was genuinely funny to me that you were the one scolding me about that given your history with Clark.

In an emergency you do what you have to do. Reid has stated he would use Thuney at LT. You should feel very fortunate to be so brilliant. LOL If your starter goes down anything you do is a downgrade.

"He sucks" isn't a discussion. You say he's going to suck because he sucked last year. I've responded (and others) with reasons why that may absolutely not be the case AND by pointing out that we know nothing about his deal. What we know is that we don't have the space to absorb $9 million in cap charges so these incentives are almost certainly going to have to be NLTBE. And if so, since he played 13 games last year, those are likely to be SB and/or AFCCG based.

And you have repeated that he sucked last year.

Okay.

That's not a discussion. That's just bitching and wailing.

Crazy that we haven't met them in the playoffs during that stretch to make it 0-3. Wonder why that is...

Oh thank God. Thank you! Yeah, that works.

And Nnadi.

Phew - crisis averted.

You realize that basically our entire OL was backups, and Remmers had to move to LT just for the SB, right?

If the Chiefs had Schwartz and the rest of the OL, Remmers would've been fine.

Again, it's not even debatable. He "sucked" then turned out to be a really good value signing.

Sassy Squatch 05-03-2023 07:12 PM

Maybe Marpit retiring ****ed him. Maybe he just needs an absolute beast at LG to compensate for his shortcomings. We have one in Thuney. There. I was positive for a bit.
