He was definitely playing hurt a large chunk of the year, and saying he was "really bad" is stretching it. Hard to be consistently Pro Bowl caliber through injury, but he's set a very high standard, and that's what people expect. Maybe for older players Pro Bowls are more of a popularity contest, but they're also about respect, and he's got it for a reason. You go to 3 in your first 5 years, there's a reason.
You want inconsistent? Check Torrey Smith's hands, production, or short/intermediate routes.
(I'm kidding, sort of)
I get that they're trying to put some different pieces out there. We really don't know what Kendall will bring, given the achilles and now the ACL; I'm not sure we're going to see that burst. Bush is a complimentary piece, we'll see what he brings.
We'll see how the o-line performs this year. I'm not particularly optimistic about a lot of this.

Flacco isn't all he's cracked up by some to be; I'm not worried about the QB in this equation -- although Kaep does still have a lot of work to do on his touch. Look at Boldin after the jump to SF, though; it elevated his game (and numbers). Plus Smith has worked out with Kaep a bunch, so they already have some chemistry.
We would have had to address the position in the draft, in a sense it's safe because they know what kind of guy Torrey Smith is, it's just a lot of money for this player. When he came into the league, I was all about Torrey Smith; flat out loved him, he's an exciting player. Strong character.
I would have paid Iupati. Another guy who makes everyone's job around him easier.
Anyway, it could have been worse, and I hope I'm totally wrong, and Torrey shoots the moon. It could happen, if a few things come together.
That shit about Ray McDonald is totally fucked up. Great that he's suing her ass, she deserves jail!

Crazy. Everybody's gotta make the best decision for themselves, I obviously wish him all the best.
Huge holes to fill on D.

Yeah, Kaep and Flacco definitely have two of the biggest arms in the league. Looking forward to stretching things out.

We are so fucking lucky we had the deepest lb core. Ahmad Brooks will probably play there as well, wilhoite is a good player also. Weak on borlands behalf to do this now. If he had concussion history I'd understand but he is one year into his career. First pick probably won't change, will be bpa but the second has to be an ILB.
Last I heard, it sounded as though Brooks was on the way out. Haven't really heard anything about that in awhile, though, so maybe that situation has been resolved.
Massive losses. Trauma. Looking forward to the reaction from up top.
Also, silver lining is that Borland did this before the draft. At least Baalke has time to react.

The problem with Smith has been that when he's on the outside just running, he plays like Tarzan. But when he runs inside, posts, or has DBs physically challenge him, then he plays like Jane. Hopefully, now that he's out of the AFC, he does better.

Oh, we just got Wilfork and Shorts. Now to draft a WR 1st round and an ILB second and we're set.

Well that's good news. He a really solid player, a little under the radar (although he has been a pro-bowler).

I feel the same about Torrey; that's why I wanted a bit more of a polished route runner for that type of money (or even a little more).
Good signings by the HOU, those guys can play.
