If they try to trade him he becomes valueless. The mere fact they want to move on after hyping him up so much would be a huge red flag.

Plus teams should really have wised up to this by now. DeShaun Watson and Russell Wilson have both been huge expensive busts. Aaron Rodgers has done little for the Jets. Matt Ryan was trash in Indy.

The only big QB trade in recent history that has worked is the Matt Stafford and Jared Goff swaps.
You don't get any value back in trading Kyler. You are moving him to move him. His value is gone.

Probably why a lot of us fans were hesitant to pay him all of that money - especially after the horrendous performance in the playoffs, the social media scrubbing, the demands by his agent, etc. There were plenty of signs pointing to running away from signing him to a long-term deal. Then the deal started off by making news because of the study clause, then Kyler's press conference with the EA$Y shirt on, etc. It definitely has not been a smooth road and much of that is on Kyler. Finally, it appeared he turned a corner, was actually spending more of his time in Arizona than Texas and had the look of a maturing leader. But watching him reluctantly answer questions in his last presser made my stomach turn. He basically blew off the 42-14 loss by saying "It was just one game." His body language looked like he wanted to be playing video games somewhere rather than answering questions. Big time regression on and off the field, IMHO.

This was the play I turned it off and went to bed.

So much I don't like here. The coverage scheme, having Kris Barnes in at LB on an obvious passing play but most of all what the heck is Jalen doing?

The secondary was that bad all day. Like I said on game day, I think it's the worst game Jalen Thompson has ever played. And it's not like his teammates were much better. They were not playing as a unit. And it isn't like they have the man coverage skills to compensate for that.

It was so bad that I kept looking over my shoulder to see if I had been selected for a hidden camera show and was being pranked. Guys could not tackle at all and seemingly helped the offensive players more than they hindered them. You know it is bad when the receivers don't care if they get flagged for taunting or unsportsmanlike conduct after making us look silly on a few plays.
