I simply said that if he is very worried about his health, he may simply find this game to be not worth the risk. And as I said, it is just a feeling. An opinion. I hope he starts and becomes an all pro. Sorry for having an opinion. We don't really know his medicals. He could have sickle cell or some other condition that increases risk. Heck for that matter all the fatties were high risk just due to weight. Just because the guy was worried about covid doesn't mean it's a condition that would impede him from playing in normal years. Just my 2 cents. Personally I don't think an opt out is indicative of how much a guy cares about the sport. Palangi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,713 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 agree, I had the same feeling- he came off being a bit defensive. That said, he looks to be a very tough dude, as does Smith. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd does not hate and I agree with his statement. Niagn's dedication until proven other wise has to be in question and I hope he shows up in spades. After all this is the Show Me state and he has shown zilch ,nada ,nothing Captain save a buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point and I shared a similar opinion when he opted out. But now that the disease killed over half a million people it's kind of hard to question his decision to quarantine. There was a lot of people I work with that stayed home and worked remotely as long as they were allowed when others like us were face to face with patients nearly the entire time Covid was rampant. It freaks people the fuck out. The unknown scares people. And no, I don't think the same logic applies here. He opted out so he COULD come back healthy and was thinking long term. I don't think it's a sign he is unreliable. He may not love the game, but as the years go by its becoming more and more known that a lot of players don't. They do it because they are good at it, and it allows them to make a lot of money and ensures their families never have to worry financially. I agree what we've seen so far doesn't show a player who seems passionate about the game. But I also don't think it means he's going to retire after his first concussion. And he IS being relied upon. The staff is relying on him to solidify RT long term. Gut or no gut. Very well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I don't mind his decision at all as we get 4 years with this guy on a rookie deal along with Trey Smith and Creed which is going to be huge after we pay Brown. I did think his responses were short and defensive when they didn't need to be short or defensive. He had to have known he was going to be asked about it and should have put just a second worth of thought into an answer. One good answer on his part would have probably stopped the 3 follow up questions because he kept giving vague answers. But who cares at this point. He is here and I have high hopes for him!

He appeared uncomfortable with his own decision to opt out because he was scared. He didn't opt out for family or friends he opted out because he was scared and didn't know enough about the "disease". Look I don't care what his reasons are. I didn't bash him for opting out. He got healthy and we get him for 4 years. I just think if you make a decision own it and don't act so defensive/short about it. I didn't get the vibe anyone was trying to grill him about it they just wanted to know why he did it. Damien Williams did it for his mom. It's reasonable to think he might have done it for someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarksvilleChief 193 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 In the end, it's his decision and he really doesn't have to give reasons why. Palangi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Aren't you guys glad we didn't draft this guy? He is out of shape. I can't believe a small school rookie would show up to camp so out of shape. I just hope his interview skills are on point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto 723 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Could of easily been that Chiefs told him to answer the COVID questions short and sweet and move on.....so he did. I think the biggest take away is that Reid said he looks better this offseason than last so meh let’s just see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not all of us who pointed this out believed he came in over weight and out of shape. I for one am excited about Niang and think he is going to be a stud....but by all means continue.

Troyofoc 361 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 And for the record I feel if Andy says he looks better than last year than I can't be happier. I definitely want Lucas to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
