Expand I definitely remember some people saying it. I don’t really pay attention to o linemen so I freely admit I didn’t know about it. Really good player but this is going to hang over the signing.

That people on a message board know about his concussion history and yet we made him the highest paid C in the nfl? It was always a hugely risky signing. Fingers crossed it works out but if it doesn’t, they should be ripped. Expand I think you’re one of those who believes you have as much knowledge as Beane when making decisions. You’re wrong. Doesn’t mean his decisions will all be correct. 1

Even if Morse wasn’t visible at camp there would be scant details and we’d likely not know anything more than we do now. It’s just handled differently than any other injury a player could sustain on the field. Expand It wasJust opinion on my part

I just believe that the self-inflicted loss at the WR spot still hurts the team to this day.
3rdand12 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) But Morse was a great pickup in my view when it occurred. I liked it better than the other guy who had more injury risk. There were two high rated centers available in FA and we took one of them we would B word regardless. but thats fair. Let hope Morse clears his head and gets one of the new helmets A Brown refuses to wear and we are good at center for years to come On 8/13/2019 at 12:11 AM, thebandit27 said: No worries.

Expand In his year and half in Buffalo Kelvin Benjamin cost them almost exactly what the Watkins 5th year option cost and was nearly worthless..........he might as well have had a broken foot. And they gave up a pick that was less than a full round later than what the Rams gave the Bills for Watkins. Their culture somehow survived KB I think they might have gotten by with Ol' Sammy. Whether some people want to admit it or not the decisions to not pick up his option and then to trade him were both poor ones.

Chill Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Highest Paid Center in the League can’t practice.?. Is this another Chuck Clay situation?
Dadonkadonk Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 It's now two weeks in the protocol. Most guys are practicing 3-5 days ago. This is a repeat concussion so they may be giving him some extra time. Another week and you really have to start worrying about his readiness to play game 1. If he misses this week, then he probably does no-contact stuff for a week, and then at best he gets some mild contact before the last pre-season game. There is no chance he dresses for the fourth game. Meaning at this point it is more likely than not he doesn't take a single snap in any pre-season game. Do I really care if he does? Not really. I think he can perform week 1 with no live snaps all pre-season. A guy of his talent should be able to execute at a high level game 1 without any live reps. Maybe it will taker a series or two to get used to the speed and force of impact. But if his brain is ok, I'm not worried...yet...
