A lot of the frustration here (IMO) is the result of the cryptic statements from the Chiefs and Berry.
If he can’t play, he can’t play. I don’t see the rationale in all this “day to day” talk. It’s rrally just unnecessarily frustrating. I do wonder if the other players are frustrated by it as well.
If you’re Jordan Lucas, how do you feel about Eric Berry apparently picking and choosing when he takes your playing time.
The “spirit” statement from Berry was a really bad look too. That sounded like a guy who doesn’t love the game anymore. It sounded like a guy who had a close call with death and now he’s evaluating if the game is worth anymore (which is easy to do when you’re that wealthy).
I really wish that some combination of Berry and the Chiefs were more honest and direct with this. If he can’t play and needs surgery, get the surgery so he can recover more quickly. If it’s a ploy to save him for the playoffs, I don’t really see the harm in alluding to that.
It just really seems like the Chiefs and Berry have handled the public side of this very poorly. If that’s any indication of the private side, then the entire situation has been a debacle.
