For those of you who are peddling this baseless speculation that JR forced Gettleman’s hand on the Kalil signing:

do you guys also think, or at least entertain as a possibility, that Hurney was forced by JR to extend all of our fan favorites to gigantic overpaid contracts, in turn ruining our cap? Not sure how you can believe one over the other in good faith. Is it that JR suddenly now decided to start meddling in team affairs? Or is it that Gettleman caved to the pressures of JR and Hurney rejected him and did his own thing?

 

Yes, all those post lockout mega cap crusher deals were b/c Richardson told him to go sign the core and throw some money around. 

This is is common knowledge isnt it?

Voth said several times that Richardson told Gettleman to "spend money" the year that Kalil was signed too. And of course you had Ryan here, who was well liked by Richardson and was said to be lobbying for his brother.

In the end, I don't know whether Richardson had any influence in the Matt Kalil signing, and I doubt we'll ever know for sure.

But given the circumstances, and the fact that his contract was wildly out of sync with Gettleman's usual SOP, I definitely think it's plausible.

I don't really care whether or not JR told Gettleman to spend. At the end of the day, the decision was made to spend on Matt Kalil and that turned out to be a really bad call. I sure wish we had thrown that offer at Whitworth instead. I'm sure Kalil's younger age was a big factor, but Whitworth has been playing at a high level for the Rams and he's suiting up again next year while we absorb a big dead cap hit to jettison Kalil.

Know there have been lots of questions about who and where (LT or RT) over the past 24 hours. Would imagine there will be more candidates than just Moton and D.Williams by the time camp rolls around - so expect it to be fluid for a while. #canneverhavetoomanyOTs

Agreed, and that's actually the same thing I've said about Hurney. You can blame Richardson for the initiative, but not the execution.

Either way, one of the few things I think you can probably get a majority agreement on around here, it's good that Jerry Richardson is gone.

There are one or two outliers who will argue that point, but I think the vast majority of us can concur on at least that one thing.

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
