All last season, all off season, early this season ... I argued that this kid isn't a bust and he is progressing great .....

Sure would be nice if we see that kinda production from him for,.,say,...the next 12 years

I wonder who we going to lose to during the bye weak? What freak injuries we’ll have??

Just don't answer the phone or go near sliding glass doors and we should be good.

I said this somewhere else, but you can't cut Conner. He is too important to this team right now.

He's easily worth his contract.

He's easily worth his contract.

He's probably their offensive MVP. Does it mean much when you're the 25th-ranked offense in yardage, 26th in points and DVOA? Not really. But we were definitely on the struggle bus without him.

I've said this before, but I think this exposes the unreliability of pass/run block win rate. We're seventh in sacks allowed, 10th in sack percentage. It's not all Humphries and the dumpster fire at LG.

I'm okay with Beachum. Prater still seems like a miss.

Thumbs up - Beachum (I don't see great alternatives at 2.5M)

Thumbs down - Love Prater and we now have time to find someone as good or better each year in training camp

Hard disagree there on beachum. That's great value for a vet swing tackle and he's played well when needed. Just not needed much.

Beachum been okay tho

2.5 Mil can be seen as cheap contract for a backup LT but when he was on the field he looked washed up

my prob with Prater is that this would have been a really good year to find a young kicker -- especially when you could have tested them in high stakes but still low stakes situations: a game winning kick to go 4-13 instead of 3-14

I have zero problem believing that Kyler Murray loathed Steve Keim.

People undervalue what kickers do for offensive moral. I see the argument but when you drive 60 yards and your kickers misses it's a gut punch for the offense.

Prater has been money this year. No problem with his deal at all. Gives a weak offense and new coaches something to lean on.

Still on the struggle bus, but without Conner the bus has flat tires.
