Kind of funny, a cashier at Walmart can go to work, a server at a restaurant can go to work.....but these pussies can't play football for their millions?

The players opting out are nutless twats.

Too much money involved. The virus will still be here but many are banking on a vaccine by Spring. If nothing else out understanding of how to treat the virus might improve by then too. It's a no win situation but the idea of having a 4th string guard protecting Mahomes terrifies me.

Tardif at his best was one of the best pass protectors in the league at G.
The rookie was likely going to start at left guard this season, and at the very least was going to be a top backup somewhere. One injury to anyone on the OL and we are looking at a dumpster fire of an OL. I ****ing SHIVER if either of our tackles gets hurt or taps out. |

The 'public' equivalent would be akin to a government subsidized loan. If you offered the cashier or server 1/2 their salary in the form of a loan they'd have to pay back next year - you really think they'd be that eager to sit it out? Like I said in the Niang thread - I kinda wanted Niang red-shirted this year anyway to make sure the hip is right. Stuff like that can linger a bit. In a perfect world he wouldn't have played a snap this season. But even in THAT perfect world we'd have burned a year of his rookie deal. In this one, he still doesn't take a snap, he can get healthy and maybe a little more 'grown man' strong and we have him for 4 years on his rookie deal starting next season. Long-term this can work out really nicely and Schwartz has always been damn durable. Would Niang have been clearly better than Remmers? Maybe, maybe not. And that's who he'd have had to ultimately displace in the event that Fisher gets hurt. This may be a good thing. But we're getting dangerously close to out of bullets. |

2. Yes, losing the rookie sucks. But he's not irreplaceable. 3. I always "SHIVER" if we lose our starting LT, or our superstar RT. But that is regardless of who the JAGs are we have sandwiched between them. |

He saw the writing on the wall. He knew the NFL was too hard for him.

In the end, this isnt' a huge issue but like you said, you're getting a bit thin. They apparently had some money freed up recently with this stuff getting signed in, I might call up the G the Saints cut and see if he wants to play. |

And Remmers is better than Erving was last year, by a fair bit, IMO. So the likely starting OL of Fisher - Osemele - Reiter - Wylie - Schwartz is probably about on par with anything Mahomes has had over the last 2 seasons. And if Fisher goes down, Remmers is probably better than any swing tackle we've had on the roster. If a G goes down, Rankin is probably as good as any backup G we've had. Allegretti was already the backup C. I don't see any real cause for alarm. Yet. Opt-out period isn't over and any more hits could really start to sting. |

If we want to have a season, even without fans, they need to figure out how to do a football bubble because the NBA and NHL are proving it can be successful. |

It'd be nice to get lucky and Osemele be back to his old self for a year. That dude was a monster.
