Look, these arguments are dumb. Comparing injuries is dumb. Saying things in this thread like "well it worked out for Trey Smith" when he had blood clots is dumb. Roaf "can hardly walk" okay? What's the point of saying that? Did he have a torn patellar? Because if not, it's completely useless and a waste of time to post it. I don't like risk. If he rolls the dice and beats the 11% odds or whatever it's an unreal and complete FIX to our left tackle issue. But even if it works out it doesn't make the bet smart. That said, I'm not really sure how ELSE we fix the position. You don't get this talent in free agency and you don't get it drafting at 32. It's a gamble that could fix the team for a decade. OR we just turned our first into a 5th. 11%? ![]() |

Jeffery Simmons is another example. Fell due to two reasons. Recent injury and character. I said before that draft Jeffery Simmons was a top 5 player, way better than Ed Oliver who went tenth to the Bills. Titans scooped him up and he's been one of the best DT's in football every year.

I mean, I can squat 225 one-legged, and I'm a 42-year-old, non-professional athlete who is 6-1/225 pounds. I did six reps on each leg at the gym yesterday (it's hard because my 11" dong gets in the way, but for real, I can do this and it is not a great sign for an NFL dude). Quote:
It's about the risks involved. Burden has great physical traits and needs to be coached to be a little more efficient and refined in his routes, and give better effort. He is otherwise a clean bill of health. Give me that over a dude with a knee that's a major, major risk and question mark, any day of the week. If LT is the second-most important position in the NFL, most would argue that WR is the next-most-important on offense. It's certainly the next-most expensive to fill off of rookie contracts. Probably behind pass rusher in importance, but not by much.

The top 3 WRs also has a guy that will be hurt at some point so there’s some layering needed there

And another with a knee injury of his own AND a suspension looming.

No, it's not. It's a huge part of the problems we're having now with Taylor. That gap between him and Smith makes Smith's job even more difficult.
He isn't even training camp ready now.

Still cracks me up that people really blame Nagy or even Andy’s playcalling or Mahomes himself for this.
It’s personnel. It’s always been the personnel. It was total shit. Simmons being good fixes most of this shit. Praying to God we add a WR and RB today.

In fairness the odds are much smaller than that. He's being generous.

True.
Based on available data, they aren't THAT good.
