How much faith do you have left in KK Short?

His highest peak may have been short but he’s still been an above average player since 2014 pretty much.

Correct, he is an above average player, however we are paying him like a top 3 Defensive END!

Check out the spotrac.

Which might be far more easily fixable if not for that restructure

Oh, it was.  Just another blunder by the team, heading into a rebuild....again...but who's counting?

Once offensive linemen figured out which one of his eyes to watch it was all over.

Okay that was bad, I apologize.

Once he started cashing the big checks, he just got slow, lazy and unmotivated.

Once Star moved to Buffalo, he didn't have someone to do the dirty work of tying up centers and guards.

The thing about evaluating players is it's not just how good they are, but how long they stay good.

Some guys are above average to good for a long time. Others are what I call "nitrous oxide" players, really good for a short burst but they drop off fast.

I think that's Short.

That drop off usually coincides with the first huge contract.

To be fair, he still played at a high level in the first year of his contract extension.

But yeah, it's been downhill from there.

None at this point other than him showing up the camp over 300 lbs.

Take the dead cap hit now, and move on.  Get younger, hungry guys to start....we simply can't be any worse vs. the run than we were last season.

I have a feeling he will get cut next year.

I feel like the fact that we lost both Cam and KK in week 2 on some bullshit ass Thursday night game. isn't talked about enough here. That game completely destroyed our season.

All of those games should end. They are terrible mostly.

No, he is not a "dominant" DT like he was in '15. But he is still an above average DT & could be very useful along with a 1st round DT like Derrick Brown.

Let's just hope he'll stay healthy & quit eating those Krispy Kreme midnight dozen doughnuts!
