Fug him... We drafted his sorry ass replacement with the 5th pick of the draft. He can sit and sulk as long as he wants to. In the meantime, his replacement is learning the system and being given playing time to showcase his skills (in a back-up role). When/if Page shows up, I'de make him work his ass off against the third string offense, then put him on the inactive list on gameday.

jebus
to see
him and pollard ripping things up in houston

that would sooo suck

indeed

Eric Berry > pollard and page


So no, it wouldn't suck for me. I wouldn't give 2.3 shits

Wasn't there a rumor floating around that Page was pretty seriously injured and was basically holding out for an injury settlement? :shrug: That makes as much sense as anything in this situation.

If he shows to practice he has to sign a medical waiver that says he is fit to play. At that point he forfiets his injury settlement and could very likely get cut because he is still injured.

Like i said this is gretz and the chiefs media trying to mind **** page. Get him to show up only to cut him and/or turn the fans on him. the later has seemed to work.
Hes is damn sure better between the ears than any other viable safety option on the roster other than berry.

This only makes sense if he is injured andthe injury is bad enough to make him worry that no other team would sign him. Thus, his only hope is an injury settlement and retire versus, signing the tender, being cut and then no other team having interest. Either way he is out of football in 2010; but, by not signing, he is hoping for a settlement.

he could screw the chiefs by getting his settlement after the new CBA or if no CBA is in place & be reinstated under new rules/terms of the 2011 season.

I don't get the animosity toward Page. He's a decent safety, and was hardly a weak link in the secondary. I'm not so quick to anoint Lewis the starting job just because of some OTA reports. Page has some valuable experience there.

He needs to get his ass to practice, sure.. But he's hardly the first guy to sit out some voluntary practices over contract issues.

He pretty much single handedly won us 2 games against Oakland the past couple years. You gotta respect the guy for that at least... It wouldn't be a bad thing if he still made it to camp and got involved.

I think people make too much of big plays made by players that are otherwise extremely average players.
("extremely average". I know it ain't right so don't blow a gasket. Just making a point.)

Studebaker's interceptions against Pittsburg, DJ's big game against the Donkeys, Page's plays against the Raiders.

Guys haven't done anything else to warrant the drool.

That being said, we really don't have anyone else, so I'd rather have Page lining up alongside Berry than any of the other scrubs we have on the roster, until someone steps up and actually wins the job.

No blown gaskets. He is average. I'm not trying to make more out of him than he is. But I think he's considerably better there than the alternatives we have now at the position. The only other safety that's seen legit game action is McGraw, and I'd prefer that they save him for special teams and emergencies. Morgan has had his chance and has done squat with it. The rest are completely unproven. Page is a relatively cheap guy that's somewhat versatile and doesn't have any glaring deficiencies. A useful tool to keep in the toolbox...

Blown gasket was in reference to the use of poor grammar ("extremely average").

We're on the same page as it relates to the subject at hand.

No, actually the reason hes pissed is because he was put on the IR. He was hurt... but he was back to 100% by our last game or two... and was pissed that he couldn't play because the Chiefs didn't want to waste a active roster spot on someone who can't play most of the season.

So when Page crawls into Haley's dog house, will he see a "DJ was here" carving etched into one of the wooden panels ?
