Daley suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Daley recovered a fumble in the second quarter but suffered a concussion in the process. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before playing in another game, and his status is uncertain for a Week 12 matchup against the Vikings.”

I think we all knew it

Sh-t.

Daley is good but his body isn't holding up. I don't think you can depend on him long term.

It’s like a repeating story with any of our promising lineman. If they are solid for any real stretch it’s been all too common to get hurt shortly thereafter. It feels like the injury bug hits our oline more than any other franchise recently.

It's the story with a lot of late round picks.

I've said it before: The hardest part of the Draft isn't deciding who's good right now. The really difficult part is predicting how long they're going to be good.

People get excited when a late round pick or an undrafted free agent look great; and yeah, it's a good thing. The problem is that as often as not, it doesn't last very long.

He’s been OK. I wouldn’t say he was promising or good. He’s stepped up when we needed him but if we want a solid OL I still think, health aside, we’d need an upgrade. Health added in and he’s definitely not a long term solution.

Those 2018/2019 drafts really did kill our depth and create holes. We had 2 extra 3rds and we still ended up with Burns, Moore and meh.

My experience has been that with OL, waist benders tend to have the most head injuries.  It only makes sense.  Stick your nugget in Reggie White's face and see how long you last. 

(The reason I said that:  The RT for the Raiders last night --his father was on the practice squad for the Steelers and he told me about a scrimmage they had with Philly.  Reggie knocked him out during a drill.  He is now a preacher--like Reggie was--I told him, "Reg knocked the word of God into your head" and he said, "and knocked a lot of crap out the other end")

I'd put Daley in the range of good to sometimes approaching very good. Not great, but that's okay.

I was going to classify him as "better than Greg Little" but I realized that's way too broad a category.

He had a good start last year but got worse. He’s not above average which is good to me. Remember how good we thought Chris Clark was and even Little looked OK until he played Atlanta and looked like he wasn’t allowed to move his feet. Daley has not played well enough consistently to be considered above average. He’s potentially salvageable unlike Little. Wouldn’t surprise me if Little gets the Gaulden treatment after this year.

    • I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
    • The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
    • I would say maybe 8 in a tier by themselves and all but 2 where picked in the top of the first allen pat m stroud burrow jackson hurts (maybe) Herbert Stafford
