If he gets there, I can see it being at least a minor boost to his mojo to feel like he's still got it even if it's harder than before.

I don't think there are any bonuses tied to it, but it's definitely a stat that people will talk about in his HOF induction year. I know there's a little risk involved, but I wouldn't mind putting him out there for a drive and force-feeding him the ball until he gets 16 yards. Players care about that stuff, and letting him get it is part of how Andy gains so much respect.

It sounded to me like Chris Jones, Pacheco, and Rice are all "out". They aren't practicing at least, and can't imagine them playing. Gabbert said a lot in his interview. Sounds like Kelce says he doesn't care about the stats but the whole team is aware and wants it for him. Said if Kelce gets in the game he'll be doing everything he can to get him 17 yards.

But I kinda think Andy sits him, which is what I'm hoping for. I want absolute minimum risk in a meaningless game. Let Kelce go find glory in the playoffs.

With Kelce, you can bring him in for a series and force the ball to him. Jones is a tougher call, because even if he plays the whole game there's a 50 percent chance that he won't get half a sack. Well, it's the Chargers with Easton Stick, so maybe 80 percent.

I say force him the ball until he gets 16 yards. That's one hell of a historic streak he has going, I doubt he wants it to end. But honestly the 17th game waters it down quite a bit, was way more impressive with 16 games.

I strongly suspect that the Clarks will pay him the bonus anyway. One way or another. :)

Chris said himself he'd take the rest if offered. Said he had some minor bumps and things that could heal up some.

Wow. He clearly needs $1 million less than I do.
