Yeah, I definitely wouldn't say that but I am willing to give him basically a pass on this season. Turf toe is fuging brutal. He should've been IR'ed a long time ago. I used to laugh about turf toe then I had it happen to me. My toe is still fuged up four years later. I've pretty much accepted that it'll probably never be right again, but I'm pushing 40.

Sssh doesn’t follow the common huddle rhetoric. He’s still that guy that wouldn’t listen to Peanut and Boston a few years ago. 

THAT is my concern about him. It isn't physical ability, it's coachability. Yeah dude, you're really fast. But you're undersized and you're coming off of an injury hampered year badly needing a rebound. If you're not willing to STFU and listen now then you can just GTFO.

He's good---and actually still improving---when he's healthy.

I don't think he has missed nearly as many tackles this season, and it seems like he's taking a lot better angles and not giving so much unnecessary cushion. He seems to be getting it!

Perhaps the coaching staff should get some credit also.

I was being sarcastic heh. I haven’t heard anything since his rookie year and that episode of All or Nothing about his attitude. I’m more positive about him than most here, I think he’s been good with flashes of really good. His reaction and tackling on bubble screens is usually elite. He whiffs occasionally but I don’t think it’s lack of desire to tackle or anything like some CBs (cough Eli Apple cough), it’s just he’s still learning.

I think Snow gets it.

I think he's running out of "learning" time. If he's coming into practice and meetings with the right attitude I hope the staff basically treats this as a medical redshirt year. If he hasn't, he should potentially be on the chopping block

      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

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      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
