Chiefs Watkins active; Berry/Ware inactive - Page 8

Sounds like Sammy isn’t anywhere close to 100%. I would just have him in there for critical plays like 3rd/4th down and Red Zone plays. Let him rest on all other plays.

Personally I think this is how today should have gone...

Veach to Berry...are you a go today?

Berry..I don't think so still bothering me.

Veach, alright man if you can't suit up for the most important playoff run in this teams history I think you should go pack up your locker cause we're done with you as an organization.

Exactly. Be proactive. Wish him the best and tell him that after he cleans out his locker, any personal items left behind, will be dropped off at the bridge he's been living under.

Honestly, the Chiefs should have been proactive and put him on IR months ago. At least this would have been resolved for this season and would not have been a distraction. Just my opinion...

Lucas time
We need to wish Berry well and put him on IR for the rest of his contract

IF we got to the Super Bowl does Berry play? Being back home in front of his home crowd, family and such in Georgia! I’m guessing Injections don’t work for his condition.

It really makes you philosophical about what is excusable as a reason not to produce in a league predicated on production.

There is an almost infinite line of folks who likely wanted to be an NFL champion just as much or more than Eric, but they were too short, or too slow, or not talented enough.

I hated Cassel every minute he was here, but I never doubted his sincerity or effort. Is a talent deficit LESS worthy of compassion than a health deficit?

When it becomes clear that you are never going to rebound to complete fulfilment of promise, what does the organization or the fans owe you.

When your best isn't good enough, does it really matter why?

KC will be fortunate if Watkins can play and be anything more than a decoy for the first series. I don't think he's had a full practice in 6 weeks.

Oh. I agree. And if so, his signing has been a total fail for this season. This game today is a huge part of why he was signed.

This is what I’m thinking as well. Him and Benjamin taking a few DBs away from Tyreek and Travis. Don’t bother throwing it to him unless he is completely open with a stroll into the End zone

Gravedigger · 01-12-2019, 11:25 AM

I don't know what's worse, the fact that Berry is still sitting out, or the fact that when they did his contract they didn't put in some language about his health deteriorating and being a way out of the agreement if this kind of shit happened. Or any contract that for that matter, if a player doesn't play for the essential entirety of two seasons, the team should be able to recoup some of that.

It also doesn't help that the organization looks bad cutting him so early into a huge contract. So that also keeps him here, teams don't like to look incompetent.

Berry is going to have to surgery if he wants to remain a Chief...so It's interesting that he refuses to just numb the pain. If it were to rupture, wouldn't the result be the same? He would still get surgery and be paid next year...

Unless he plans on retiring, it doesn't make sense...

Exactly. Its not gonna get better without surgery, and even then its not 100% it will completely resolve the issue. But it does represent the best option for him to continue playing.

If he thinks that surgery will make him worse...and he thinks the one he already had hurt him...

Why would he not do all he can to prolong this and continue to collect his massive check? I doubt he wants to quickly get surgery speed up this process and end up playing for the 49ers for peanuts compared to what he makes now.

**Iowanian** · 01-12-2019, 11:22 AM

If he doesn't play today they should put Berry on IR like should have happened earlier. If he can't play today I don't want to see the poor guy get hurt in the Super Bowl....better save him for the offseason.

I don't think he should just being a pussy at all...I just think his body is done.
