You're going to say this even in hindsight? I mean, many of us knew it was a dumb decision at the time. A good ownership group/front office will accept being raked over the coals in the media as long as it's actually the right call. Who GAF about outside noise? They should've made the best decision for the team, and in no way, shape, or form is that contract a good decision.
Or you can look at it these way.
Marginal talent?
Easy to kick a man while he is down.
Doesn't equate.
Wait until you find out Caleb Williams isn’t in this draft class.
Zero diva chatter when we were 10-2 or 6-3 the year before. And he was the same exact human being.
Marginal.
Before they figured out that all you have to do is blitz him and he becomes unraveled
lol it's a prediction, genius
He get paid 250 million and plays video games, he's not "down"
I’m sure it takes 12 games for NFL coaches to figure that out.
I don’t know about this. Initially, yes, they would have been raked over the coals but when the season went the way it did, they would have been proven right, no?
mayeb it does maybe it doesnt, but the facts are he hasnt played well since week 8
Yeah… it’s the 1-2 combo of physical and mental questions that could be making so many HC candidates think long and hard about coming here.
I’m sure some coach just all of a sudden decided to call blitzes and he instantly imploded. That’s after all how NFL works.
it exposed Kyler, dont get mad at me im not the one who gave him all the money.
This is likely more accurate. People act like every coach in the NFL hasn’t dealt with and managed egotistical players. There’s probably like 15-20 guys like Kyler on every roster.
crazy that the diva chatter began after he basically labeled himself one with that inane interview he gave to the Times where he proclaimed he didn’t need to pour time off the field on film because of his Neo-esque ability to see everything on it.
The point is, they didn't HAVE to sign him last year. The controlled his rights for 2-3 more years if needed. Kyler bluffed and we folded as usual. Kyler didn't hold any of the cards to force them to re-sign. Similar situation to where the Ravens are with Lamar Jackson.
I think this is an excuse.
Right? I could at least see that.
I agree. Can’t say that and lose. If he kept winning nobody would care about the article.
I can show you plenty of players that DO that if you want to see it. Hell even the GOAT Tom Brady is well known to do that.
