First of all, who knew his play would decline like it has this year? You can't blame Jerry for that.
It absolutely does because it shows his character. Low character players mail it in after they sign a big contract. He doesn't even try to tackle running backs anymore and gets burned on a regular basis by wide receivers. He can blame the ACL tear all he wants but he looks like a different player. We don't need anybody like that on the team.
Tyron hadn't played a full year since like 2015. Martin holding out isn't some huge scourge people try to make it to be. Why in the world would anyone begrudge a guy trying to get paid especially from a crap owner like Jerry?
I didn’t forget, but the 2021 season wasn’t two years ago and it was in a completely different scheme, and I’d wager that more than half of them were playing from ahead once Quinn’s rush was unleashed.
difference of opinion. they made him the highest paid guard with little pushback or haggling. and he held out on that deal and then played poorly. left a bad taste in my mouth.
Let’s see how he plays when Bland finally comes back, but if they don’t fix their run defense, it won’t matter
If Martin wants a trade you give it to him.
He played well in 2023, granted not at the elite level when he was dominating the all pro team. He's now got a back issue that clearly is hampering him.
we disagree. he’s emblematic of all the issues but immune from criticism. feel how you feel and i’ll feel how i feel.
No! They must complete the cycle of yet another wasted talent. It’s what they do best.
That’s what I mean. I’d try to deal from a strength and fix a weakness, but I don’t at all think the powers that be value interior defense so it’ll never happen.
