KG is just a poor fit. It was an attempt to get Jones a WR 1 without realizing it was a sqaure peg-into-a-round-hole situation. KG was just a better fit in Detroit with a fearless, ultra-talented QB throwing to him. Wouldn't you expect more from an ultra-talented QB than a career 74-90-1 record with Detroit? You mean with all that ulrta-talent he couldn't get Detroit over the top?

All the talent in the world isn't going to overcome coaching and organizational dysfunction. How many years have the Lions been what the Giants have been for the last 5?

remember when 2 teams "inquired about trading for slayton" around cut down day? Obviously that was the nyg trying to drum up interest for him since he hasn't even played in their WR rotation and were willing to cut him if he didn't take a paycut. i think we are going to see 5-10 targets to kenny tonight and he's been told punching his ticket elsewhere is in his hands. if plays well the team will facilitate a deal if that's what he wants.

Cool story

Exactly. That post was meant for those advocating mortgaging the future for a Russell Wilson type acquisition when the roster cupboards are bare.

Daboll playing him two snaps is an indictment on Galloday and his inability or his undisclosed injury. Jones and Kenny did good balling last year despite KG despising the offensive scheme. Catch rate and yards were on par with his career averages.

I do agree it's a mistake Schoen made assuming it would all be fine and Kenny would buy in right away. Toney is another. Two disappointing characters who should be key players but for onereason or another, neither one is contributing.

This is the exact response we should all have. Just like Bradberry its not going to happen. If it gets ugly they have to cut him and then a team can pick him up. This isn't even news.

is marginal you lose to injury. Alex Smith prob would have been a helluva QB if his shoulder injury didn’t derail his career and make him super limited.

KG looks like Laquon Treadwell or late stage Dez out there. He’s literally unusable in any offense outside the redzone. He’s literally screwing up the timing of plays.

Gettleman takes KG, (someone else's broken player), gives him the mortgage to the farm, and expects a miracle.

I don't get it, that old man was an experienced hand.

Old age doesn't necessarily mean you lose your edge (look at 90 year old Gil Brandt), he's still as sharp as a tack; Dave just lost it, quick.

Toney. They need to just send that moron Dave Gettleman a goodbye “thank you” and never come back again ever…just like Gettleman.

He’s long. Past the disgruntled stage. He wants out. He was a poor fit for this qb’s skill set and shouldn’t have been signed and he shouldn’t have taken the money. He can watch film like anyone else and should have know what he was getting in to.

If I'm Schoen, I'd trade KG for a 4 pack of Kane Head High. He's useless. And he's disgruntled. The most likely next offseason thread: 'Golladay released'.

If a blithering idiot offered you $72M, $40M of which was guaranteed, would you turn it down?

What'll really blow your mind is this: Jones really wanted him and is part of the reason they went after him.

if this marriage ends in a divorce...

Would be the ones parting with a draft pick to move him and I’m not joking. Even eating his contract to get it to a net zero would leave him overpaid for the acquiring team. He’s likely a vet min guy now after the injuries and teams can see that on the tape.
